what a great way to keep bits and pieces of
inspiration in the forefront. the movement of
this mobile would keep me looking at it long
after I had forgotten about stuff I've pinned
on my cork board. great idea!
and how fabulous to have the magic of keeping
everything balanced & counterbalanced as
you have to in a mobile, as if your ideas do
indeed carry weight. beautiful shot!
Carrie, FTD, tiki, Montana, LW, elyce - Thank
you everyone for the fantastic comments! The
thing that makes this mobile so happy and fun
is that I've always wanted one, and then, one
day while thrifting, I happened upon one -
for just $3. Another neat thing about it is
that it hangs above the fray, which, in this
case, looks like a fabric factory exploded in
my room! Pre-Etsy opening work is messy
work, it would seem!
You are way lucky to have come across that!
:-) Good on ya! I've been trying to find
one for several yrs without success; in
stores and otherwise :1 am hoping to make it
(as a last resort)... do you by any chance
have a shot of it in full? *sheepish*.
Thanks Pano, Castanet and angel! Angel - I
know a place to get them (full price,
unfortunately) locally. I think it's $13 or
so. I can take a picture of it for you later
this weekend! If you want, maybe we could
work out something wherein I could get one
for you. I'd hate to think you'd searched
and searched in vain! I once looked for red
stationery for 4 years before I finally
found it. When I found it, I bought every
piece of it they had.
abby, you are way too kind! I'm not sure
what I can offer you in return. :1 What
currency is the price you quoted me in? :) I
once made a fool of myself by purchasing
every last piece of ink reservoir as well!
;-) (my original fountain pen used an unusual
reservoir) The shopkeeper was rather
delighted though ;-)

I bought one for $15 after seeing yours - it's possible to make them, but in this case I wanted to get one up & running for inspiration -
