Red Jezebel - I thought of you when I bought this one, remembering that you liked green and all.

Ha, good buy, Rae~! I was eyeing that one and dithered about going for it for a few days. I decided it was a bit too pale a green for me... I adore "middle" leafy greens (not a fan of too pale, or too yellow or too blue - fussy mare, I am

). I do prefer the design of the one you bought over the one that's listed right now, so that won't tempt me, my wallet can sigh with relief!

Rae, that looks gorgeous!! Good purchase.

Red Jezebel: I told him functional length 4 1/2. My hair's so fine it really packs down.

I did think the ice cube concept was vastly amusing; will be fun in the summer.

Red_Jezebel, I have to say, I suspected that the lighter tone was the reason it was still available...

I am really curious whether I am going to like this aventurine one "in person" since I also tend to prefer stronger colours over pastel tones. I just liked the fact it was fairly different from most of my other sticks (I have a lot with ball-style decorations). And, I am reinvigorating my (very small) gemstone collection and thought this might match/suit some peridot earrings. We will see!

Hopefully it will arrive this week, and I will be sure to post a pic.

intothemist99 - Now you're talking. Just build a collection and then you have a choice of what to wear on any given day.

wendy g, that's what I've called a combo knot, it's a combination of the double looped knot and the KL knot. It eats up more length than either of those buns. I might have some instructions written down somewhere on the old LHC, I'll check that out.

Aisling, I love that bun and the Quattro stick in it is also beautiful! please do post an instruction link if you find it.

I just ordered these Quattros (after I snapped a wooden fork and decided that its all metal for me from now on):

bjt, these are beautiful. I almost bought them myself. I'd love to see them in an action shot when you get them.

BJT, they are lovely.

**Tabitha** · January 10th, 2009, 05:06 PM

bjt, I had been watching those and trying oh so hard to resist them ... they are gorgeous, wear them in good health!

Quattros are strongggggg ... I hope you won't be able to break those babies!
