Kareni Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Recopying this here from another thread: 1 hour ago, Margaret in CO said: My oldest has a bracelet made from hair from her last dressage horse. He won't last through the winter. The bracelet was worn out, after being worn 24/7, so I had it remade from a new tail cutting. And I had matching earrings made! And I had just a bit of hair left from the mare we lost to the mountain lion and had a bracelet made for my youngest. There wasn't enough to make the flat braid I'd hoped for, so it's thin, but it's pretty!

Kareni Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 I thought I'd mention an item that we've enjoyed over the years that some might consider a unique gift. Metal and Glass Winelights (I don't recommend the ceramic winelights as we've had several crack over the years.) We've also had success with this brand: Oenophilia Afterglow Bottle Wick - Brass and here's a deal on a four pack: Oenophilia Afterglow Bottle Wick - Brass , Set of 4 These enable you to convert a bottle into an oil lamp. Since wine bottles might be prone to tipping, I favor using squatter, wider bottles. We fill those bottles half full of glass marbles to give them greater stability. Sometimes the opening of bottles might be a little too large for a winelight; in that case, my husband uses a metal washer on top of the opening.
