I guess I’ve got Firefly on the brainpan, since I’m the coordinator of the 3rd Annual Raleigh Can’t Stop the Serenity event, and tickets went on sale this month. This little nugget is based on the argument Mal has with Inara in the episode “Trash.” For all those hopeful Companion clients out there, I added it to my shop on Cafepress.

These ceramic vials are great diffusers — perfume oils evaporate through the cork (corks may leak, please use caution when filling or wearing). They are also great for holding small treasures and fairy dust, or remove the cork and fill with small flowers. Hang in bathrooms, from rear-view mirrors, in windows, or anywhere! Vials are about 1-1/2 to 2 inches high, including cork (images slightly enlarged to show detail). Each vial hangs from white satin cord. One of each ceramic vial is available — the items you see in the pictures are the exact items you will receive. I didn’t make these, they are left over from the days when I used to sell retail items in addition to my own jewelry, but I did add the accent beads and cords.

This picture of Santa Claus was drawn by my daughter Tara when she was 5-years-old. I’ve always loved it because it has such a Tim Burton quality (and Tara does watch a lot of Tim Burton movies, so that might not be an accident). Click on the image above for holiday gift items featuring Tara’s Santa. All profit from these sales will go into her college saving account.
Here’s my HEARTFIRE Celtic knot graphic. This is a design I sketched one evening at Tir na nOg Irish Pub. I must have been inspired by the myth, the romance, and the Guinness. Available on shirts, cards, mugs and more at Cafe Press.
Greeting cards I designed based on the cult TV show FIREFLY. 1) Merry Gorram Christmas. 2) River’s Christmas quote from the episode “Ariel.” 3)”Is it Christmas?” Mal said when he woke up after the “goodnight kiss” in the episode “Our Mrs. Reynolds.”
