Bauble She wore the bracelet unthinkingly, not realizing the effect it would have on him. It wasn\'t until they were seated for dinner that he caught sight of it. She gestured, lightly, and her sleeve fell back to reveal the familiar sparkle. His breath caught in his throat, and he stared. She saw his reaction, but didn\'t know what caused it. Was it something she said?Both were flustered, and the evening began to go poorly from that moment. He recognized the trouble, but did nothing to resolve it. Certainly he couldn\'t explain what troubled him! He ate little, waiting only until the first possible moment to offer his excuses and drive her home.

  • Twisted Holding the chain, it seems too thin to have any sort of detailed pattern, the sort of chain that might fly away in a light gust
  • Watch This Time will disappear / Love and logic keep us clear / Reason is on our side / Love...
  • Ropes Of Gold Up close, they look like ropes. In real life, they look like very thin strings.
  • Silver The ornate pattern comes from the back of a silver-plated hand-held mirror
  • Angel From a small nativity scene, the angel who heralds the good news to the shepherds
  • Pearls and Gold Details from an ornate cross ornament

  • Serious Wise Man Surprisingly pale for a wise man from east of Israel, this wise man also seems quite serious
  • Cameo Carefully carved from soft shell, this fine lady rests comfortably in a box until it is time to be worn
  • Tooth Fairy I often have trouble explaining how my family approaches subjects such as the Tooth Fairy. My kids know that fairies and Santa and the Easter Bunny aren\'t real, and yet we heartily encourage active imagination, and provide ample fairy goodness around the house and yard. There is no deception, but plenty of fun.When a child loses a tooth (so far, just my oldest has), the tooth is placed in the outstretched hand of this figurine. Overnight, the Tooth Fairy comes and replaces the tooth with four quarters, stacked neatly
  • East Meets Tourism I have a suspicion that few people in east Asian countries actually collect these things, preferring instead to foist them off on tourists and exporters. I got this one at a small import/export shop in San Diego more than 16 years ago
  • Kiss Me It is a New Year\'s tradition, to kiss at midnight. I\'m not one to shun tradition, so we popped a movie into the DVD player and waited until just the right moment
  • Ariel I\'ve never been a big fan of <i>The Little Mermaid</i>, the movie, preferring the original story in which the little brat is turned into sea foam as a result of her disobedience. My kids only recently learned (as a result of a preview for <i>The Little Mermaid II</i>) that Ariel <i>doesn\'t</i> turn into sea foam in the movie, so now I guess I\'ll have to rent it so that they can see what blissful joy rebellion can be.In the meantime, this is a very small Ariel doll my daughters have. It\'s small enough that it is apparently difficult to paint on a face that doesn\'t look hideous
  • Embroided What is the purpose of embroidery, if not to embroid fabric?
  • Kahlua The faux wax seal on a Kahlua bottle is plastic, of course, but it\'s the registered trademark symbol that mars its beauty
