    Happy birthday Eternal!

    Question though, If you are "Eternal" how do you have a birthday?..........

      And if so, how does one find room for an infinite amassment of birthday gifts?

            Looking good A. Is that the coat that I've seen? Looks great on you.
            let us raise a toast to ancient cotton, rotten voile, gloomy silk, slick carf, decayed goat, inflamed ram, sooty nelton, stifling silk, lazy sheep, bone-dry broad & skinny baffalo.

                  Same cap as saturday. But that was too much, really - a complete lack of natural, IMO.
                  I can see a hat, I can see a cat,
                  I can see a man with a baseball bat.

                        Looking good. Best time to be there in my opinion.

                                Btw I've something for you, in connection with your outfit, but will post it only tomorrow, since it's late now. But a teaser

                                On the contrary: it's only bad ideas that end up costing us; never the good ones

                                I was having a conversation with a friend last night about the concept of pricing an idea, and your post about having reservations over paying so much for "only a (very good) idea" was brought up. I wanted to share it with you, Christian, because your struggle to justify the expense on that Ann feather necklace plays perfectly into the heart of the discussion.

                                He summed it up best by pointing out something significant, yet often overlooked or trivialized: which is that it doesn't matter if anyone can essentially hang a feather on a chain and save themselves all that money. What matters is that someone else came up with an original IDEA that gave birth to something YOU now covet, and how we should honor this reality is by compensating it. This matters as equally as the level of its quality or the designer name it bears, and perhaps even more so. There's someone on the forum whose signature says something like "an artist is not paid for his labor, but for his vision", which couldn't be more true in this case. You might be BUYING a feather on a chain–but you are PAYING for an idea. And when that idea moves you, no matter how simple it may be, there is no putting a value on it.

                                On a side note, you'll be surprised at the irony of how it's not at all this fragile thing it appears to be. When it was first given to me, I was a little intimidated by it. I sort of felt that it would lose its perfection if I actually wore it, and that I'd destroy it completely if I wore it daily. It actually became MORE perfect the more I wore it. The feather looks better as it gets trashed, and you'll find new ones on the ground to replace them as they die. I always do. The absurd amount of time it takes to lock each successor into place eventually becomes ritual, and you'll feel like something is missing if you AREN'T wearing it. This piece isn't for everyone–people either find the idea quite beautiful–or the symbolism is lost on them entirely. Clearly since you fall into the former category, your only regret may be not having gotten it sooner.
