They're still working on how to spray the pages with alcohol without dissolving the ink. :P

American McGee’s Alice, for the PC. I stumbled upon it during one of those hours-long Internet-browsing sessions where you keep clicking on “related” things and end up somewhere completely different from where you started, and it looks delightfully creepy.

A Blücher saber. You are man of wealth and taste, sir. I heard the CS versions had a messed up distal taper, but I think they fixed that in later generations. Sweden bought and used these once the Brits decided to replace them, so I might spring for an original at some point (my wallet won't be too happy, though).

I'd be worried about damaging an antique, but I imagine that will be a beast for cutting mats.

Oh cool. I bought gifts and food
On the weekend i bought hundreds of dollars worth of stuff in hope of learning perfumery like my cousin who now makes commissioned perfumes for royalty around the world.

The course just beginner level costs over 600 dollars though. So i didnt purchase it.

I bought 3 antique-ish (from 1920s) perfume oils (2 from tunisia n one from Egypt).


I bought lockets (many ) from etsy, ebay and a locket making company in Brooklyn.

I bought 3 books from thrift store finds ..online (etsy shops)

I bought chains and jewellery making tools
