Gather

Bought this awesome bronze & agate necklace from Gather Jewelry recently and love it.

High quality workmanship with pleasing bits of detail as not evidenced by the unusually poor iphone pic.

The store always has some super sweet items, like this! Being on a home-purchasing budget is unfortunate. Tempted to get it anyway, as budgeting is so ESTABLISHMENT! Wait, no it's not. Binge-purchasing the whole store and then asking someone to help me out of my money woes at their cost would be the establishment thing to do...hmm...complex times...

Leora has a great blog here, as well. Gather Things

Ship's deadeye from 1780s wreck off Wattsness, Shetland

"Ship's deadeye (an object used in static rigging of a ship, dubbed 'deadeyes' because of their resemblance to skulls) washed up from a 1780s wreck off of Wattsness in Shetland, North Scotland. Made from wood and incredibly heavy, weighing around 5-7 kilos. The fact it has lasted so long into the 21st century, with only one small part of the object lost to time, is a real homage to the craftsmanship behind it; amazing to think that at somepoint in history someone meticulously designed this object with skills that are a rarity to witness in this day and age. A truly fascinating relic."
