Regrets, I've Had a Few...

These bracelets no longer fit over my wrist.

I shot a bunch of enticing photos for a Threadflip listing.

As I was processing the photos, I started getting a sad feeling.

I remember when I first acquired them in the 80s, from Jone Pasha in Providence, RI [closed].

I looked at the stack of the ones that still fit me. Something was missing.
They just didn't look right.

The green! There is no green in the ones that fit!
So, no, I cannot split them up. My attempt at decluttering failed.
I don't regret it.

These are made of plastic cord wrapped around grass. From my brief internet searching, I believe they originate from Burkina Faso and the cording is recycled from prayer mats. [See this site]. Jone got them via Craft Caravan in NYC [closed]. They sold for $3, if I remember correctly.

Pinterest Hacking Update

I was SO HAPPY to get this:

 When I was pinning this:

to that "Adorbs" board that showed up on my upload list yesterday.
Yay Pinterest!
(My thinking was, if I pinned something to the board, then maybe it would show up - it was only visible in the list, not on my Pinterest profile - so that I could delete it. Does that make sense?)

Next I tried pinning exactly the same thing that I pinned yesterday to a new board:

Aaaaaah, no gremlins have added random things to the board.
Yay Pinterest!

Meanwhile, the whole process finally got me to put something up for sale on Threadflip: my nOir earrings that I got from Ideeli and never wore. One of those unfortunate purchases done in the heat of the moment. Here's a better photo:
