Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

I once placed a miniature Cthuhlu figurine atop this picture frame to see how long it would take to get noticed. By miniature, I mean about the height of a little green Monopoly house.

One day, I noticed it missing and learned that someone cleaning the room swept it into the trash believing it to be a talisman of evil.

So I put this 10X-sized one in the exact spot. A few years went by and I added this nifty day-glo tardigrade.

Should mention that this is not my house.

That time Kinky Friedman dropped by the university and invited us to the local watering hole where he and Jesse Ventura talked about his run for Texas Governor.

This 2.5" x 1" cobalt blue bottle is marked BOURJO

This 2.5" x 1" cobalt blue bottle is marked BOURJOIS on the bottom. It once held the eau de cologne version of Evening In Paris (Soir de Paris) by perfumer Ernest Beaux. Beaux is the creator of Chanel No. 5.

Beaux had a radio show in the U.S. by the same name that began broadcasting in 1923. He released the product line of the same name to the American market in 1928.

The line was discontinued around 1960, but reformulated by Chanel in the '90s under the name Soir de Paris (Evening in Paris).

This disembodied head and smashed beer bottle offer a grim reminder of Gary Sweeney's birthday rampage at Space C7.

A crowd was lured to the space by the exhibition of work by talented artists. Once gathered, mayhem ensued.

There was delicious cake. A good time was had by all.

When I found this tiny pendant, I realized several people had walked up and were staring at me.

The eye is a grooved two-sided glass bead set in a small bit of hand-tooled gold wire.

Dime for scale.

Enjoyed a short stroll around downtown Lockhart, some barbecue at Black's, and an evening with Buttercup (and Sploot). I'd do it again.

An Akro Agate corkscrew - an exquisite example of an early Imperial - about 1929.

Described as, "Beautiful in color and design--a combination of the wonderful hues of Cornealean and the Moonie Agate color..."

So this little (9/16") aqua jewel is a hand-gathered transitional marble.

That scar by the swirl is a crease pontil, where the shears cut through the cane before the glass fell into the rollers to be rounded.

Marbles like these tend to display a 9 on one end and a tail on the other. Unless the marble maker is left-handed, then you see a 6 like on this one.

The size, color, and construction (especially the pontil), tell us that this is Japanese.

Sometimes I find all the pieces to a broken ring.

Sometimes I find all the pieces to a broken ring. This one is a souvenir from the San Jacinto Monument gift shop that opened in 1939.

I've included a photo of what it would have looked like before being dropped 80 years ago.

Hard to tell here, but that's the world's tallest masonry column and the star atop is 34 feet tall and weighs 22 tons.

Thanks to Camille and Motif Boutique Brokerage, and their clients for allowing me to metal detect another historic home.
