Harvest Festival

[cjsmith]

Today Rob and I went to the San Jose "Harvest Festival" arts & crafts show. (I'd link to its page here, but its QuickTime plugins keep doing illegal stuff and I get "strongly advised" to restart my browser. Grump.)

I was very, very good and did NOT BUY any opals. Not one. I did buy food, a gift for a friend, more food, a thing that miiiiight help make my bras fit, and a pair of earrings.

But one opal I saw and didn't buy is the thing I'm going to remember for years. Ahhh, if I were a millionaire... or if I didn't hope to go back to school. This opal was stunning. I wish I had the words to describe it; I wish I had a photo. I wish I had some way to show it to all of you. I loved it so much that what I most want to do is show it to everybody, so they can all see its beauty too.

What kind of a thing for your bras?

It's a thingy designed to pull the straps closer together on the upper back. It wraps around them about half way between the band and the top of the shoulder, pulling them towards each other. The seller marketed this as a thing to "hide" your bra straps, presumably under one of those shirts that stupid people try to sell to women who wear bras. Me, I just want the whole strap-and-band portion of the bra to be smaller, and anything that makes the straps go zigzaggy has a chance at that!

I have those! In fact I made those because my straps always fall down. Target has clear ones for $2.99 if you are interested. I don't think they are long enough, so I use 2. I like the ones I made the best.
