Dear folks.... I've got a cold, I'm terribly, terribly tired, and
feeling like treating myself - as you do.

Does anyone have any suggestions about where on line one could find
jewellery, clothes, etc. that are "I'm going to be nice to me" kinds of
things? I've looked at Wysteria (like, I LIKE much of that...) and I
know New Moon of old... (and I *do* wear black most of the time, and
long earrings are good and I'm trying to convince myself that I really
do need that dragon that covers the entire ear - young daughter is
always moaning cause I suggest clothes to her that other parents ban
their kids from even thinking about!). :}

Suggestions gratefully (nay, pitifully) received! :>

Hi Janet

Being a scruffy uggbre I've not done much (ok, any) clothes shopping online
as yet - but I just wanted to say I hope you feel better soon and that
you're spoiling yourself tactic works! Sounds an excellent plan to me..
must remember this one next time I'm ill!

Hello Janet, there's a good Goth clothing company listed in the
*links* area of my site (along with Wicca links), their website has
good pics if Gothic dress appeals to you.

Do I? <g>
<racks brain>

There's www.sovereigndiamonds.com - they have some quite nice silver
jewellery and their prices are good.

www.blackrose.co.uk - goth clothing shop with some jewellery (mainly alchemy
type stuff).

www.thedarkangel.co.uk/ - gothy clothing :)

There's a few other clothing links on my website in the goth links bit
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alex.cameron2/
but beware, it's still in the middle of being built so it's a bit of a mess

Hope you feel better soon hon :)

Sarah's just done the same to me with the clothes-shop links ;) The

Be warned, though, IME they can be awfully slow with deliveries and
(judging by the comments in the newsletter) their suppliers are not
wonderfully reliable. They seem to be immensely good-hearted, but not
exactly the Mike Baldwins of the business world when it comes to
being efficient :)

Decorating? Don't recognise that word, (she says, sitting in a room
where one of the bookcases has a serious lean being corrected by a plank
of wood held against a book held against a wall....).

Dunno.... :} I saw a velvet jacket in Sheffield last week that I'm
still thinking about (but won't get, cause I don't need it and it's too
expensive... but then, that's what window shopping is all about, isn't
it?). :)

(But I *am* seriously thinking about a palm pilot - not for "make me
feel better" buying, but for "how do I know where I supposed to be at
any one time?!" when away from the electronic diary at work. I've asked
people who know which PIMs work with our email/diary system, and then I
shall be off to investigate and probably ask yet *more* off topic
questions - but then, what's new there?).

Oh, that's totally acceptable. All I wanted to do was remove
wallpaper from one room and apply paint instead. The entire house
looks as if it's been tarred and feathered, and I'm starting to
realise that even basic DIY is not really my forte *grin*.

There was a very, *very* nice black velvet coat on the 2H market
stall today - but I am not paying twenty quid for something which
will need another twenty to get it clean. Well, not unless it's still
there in two weeks and I can haggle :)

It was supposed to be a self-indulgent shopping trip! You're as bad
as me - set off with the jewellery budget and come back with
something that improves my work access. D'uh ;-)

<chuckle>

Never thought of that one, though I did get off with going shopping with a
mate for his birthday at Portabello Market & buying lots of stuff to make up
for the fact he didn't! <g>

Got a cool new skirt <beaming grin>

I used to wear lots of jewellry but seldom any now (one handfasting
ring, one silver ring, one venus of willendorf pendant, fact fans :) )
but the dragon is sooooo cute.... :)

Looking is fun and you can bookmark it for later though.... Though
I've been doing that with my Amazon wishlist and its getting a tad
long by now...lol

Strangely enough, I have a feeling Argos might do them. Worth a look, at
least.

Not checked the new catalogue yet, none in the old one though, or at
least not sensible froglike frogs (as opposed to cartoony one with
waggly legs etc - scary how many of *those* a person can find
online...lol)

Oh yes.

Dragons and phoenixes.

Phoenixes? Doesn't look right, but my spell-checker says it is.

Ho hum.

Off to look at dragons now... :))))

Sorry <g>

I can go along with that one as well - hey, as it's becoming a trend maybe
we should include shopping in the modern celebrations of the wheel of the
year <cheeky grin>

> Anybody got any links to Bast type stuff? <hopeful>

Not me, but I know they've got a couple of quite nice statues in New Aeon,
and they did have some Bast lamps a while ago <dribbles>

Which ones have you got so far, and I'll see what others I can dig out :)

Have you been to www.blackrose.co.uk ? (think that's the right URL -
hungover brain not firing on all cylinders this morning!)

And almost next door to New Aeon, Aflecks's Palace and the Colosseum,
both in the "old centre" of Manchester, have shops that are completely
full of shelves of statues of black cats with cobras on their chests and
hieroglyphics, of assorted sizes and prices.
