Pewter... Ninnyhammers and noodles, it's beautiful all right. But a bit beyond the budget, if you follow me...

Of course, this week has been like that. Ebay got me! (convulses and falls on floor) After several smaller purchases of books (including Journeys of Frodo) and a CD of songs from the trilogy, I just won (and paid for [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] )a Fellowship deluxe 9-figure set. I probably will regret it just before payday next week. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] But later, I'm going to set it up on one of my top shelves, maybe on a sheet of rock or among several lichen-covered rocks, and perhaps some moss... maybe a mural of mountains behind them.

The other grand addition (lately) besides the Smeagol statue that came with the movie, was, the No Admittance Except on Party Business bookends. I just love that moment, anticipating the greeting of friends. "Come in, come in! How about a bottle of Old Winyards?" "Just tea, thank you."
