Medicine Drops

Photo copyright Aji, 2016; all rights reserved.

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's one of Wings's newer collections, packed with medicine and modestly priced. These are the remaining half of a promotional set of a dozen charms he created a couple of months ago, and he's decided to put these little silver medicine drops on offer in our regular inventory at the same price (they are actually no small amount of work to create, and future iterations will be more in line with his customary price points).

The post is here. Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact form. Sales are very much needed right now, so shares of the site links are much appreciated.

Snow, ice, and frozen septic lines. Widespread shares needed.


No new pix again tonight. I'm wiped. Cough is better, though, so there's that.

We now have the info on the front door. If we order it now, we can have it by early January. That's what his workload is like; he's popular. Also reasonably priced, especially for solid wood. Also half down again, natch. But most of all, I have to worry about the windows and other doors; they'll be coming in within the next two weeks, and we have to pay the full balance at that time.

So, what we need, and badly:
  • Shares of our YouCaring page via the widgets provided, especially the widget code under 2) at the "Other Ways to Help" link that produces the image shown above;
  • Shares of Wings's site; sales are way, way down this holiday season, and this is the time of year that usually gets us (mostly) through the long harsh winters. This year, it's also funding construction. Testimonials help.
  • If you're considering commissioning holiday gifts by Wings, now's the time to contact me so I can get your order into his workbench queue.
  • One last thing: I mentioned above that the plumbers are coming, and bathroom-fixture purchases are in the offing. To that end, I've added Lowes gift cards to our Amazon wishlist. No, there's no Lowes here in Taos, but there's one an hour-plus away in EspaƱola. Less obnoxious than Home Depot, and an actual selection and discount pricing that are not available here in town. It's by far the most cost-efficient way for us to buy the fixtures and appliances and sundry other items needed to make a house habitable.
Thanks to everyone for your help thus far. We are going to need to push through this, hard, fast, and and consistently. Winter is here: Snow, ice, bitter cold, and a septic system that freezes nightly because it was misinstalled all those years ago. Please give us a hand with consistent daily shares to a wide audience.

New Bird

Here, she is the new bird: leery, inquisitive, skittish, hopeful. Perhaps she has lost her way, or perhaps she detoured deliberately. She has returned a half-dozen times today, seemingly finding this a safe space for her solitary self.

If she returns tomorrow, she will no longer be so new.

Friday Feature: Spirits of the Early Winter Waters

It's our Friday Feature at The NDN Silver Blog, with a look at one of the spirits of the early winter waters, among other seasons and spaces. It's a tiny medicine bear who, despite his warm rosy color, resembles the spirit bear of the winter months.

Bitter cold & more snow on the way. We're racing time and weather. Widespread shares desperately needed.



It's been . . . a week, and it's not over yet. Still sick; too tired to post any other photos tonight. It's also going to very cold again tonight, and snow's predicted for tomorrow, as well as Monday and Tuesday.

So, what we need, and badly:
  • Shares of our YouCaring page via the widgets provided, especially the widget code under 2) at the "Other Ways to Help" link that produces the image shown above;
  • Shares of Wings's site; sales are way, way down this holiday season, and this is the time of year that usually gets us (mostly) through the long harsh winters. This year, it's also funding construction. Testimonials help.
  • If you're considering commissioning holiday gifts by Wings, now's the time to contact me so I can get your order into his workbench queue.
Many thanks to everyone who's given us a hand thus far. We are under the gun in terms of time now, really up against the weather, and we;re losing the race at the moment. We need shares that get this in front of a far wider pool of potential supporters, so please help us push through these last complex phases.

Thanks.

#ThrowbackThursday: The Gift of the Water

Photo copyright Aji, 2016; all rights reserved.

It's #TBT at The NDN Silver Blog, with a throwback to a commissioned work from two months ago, one that embodies the power and properties of the water. It's a reminder that water goes when and where it will, and when it appears, it is a gift to be honored, with lessons for us to learn.

The post is here. Wings's main page is here. This is a one-of-a-king commissioned work, but if the general style speaks to your spirit, simply inquire via the site's Contact form; Wings can create a version uniquely your own. And sales are very much needed right now, so shares of the site links are much appreciated.
