It’s prairie coneflower season. They’re such fun, silly flowers, and I’m happy to see some red ones this year. 🌼👀
Fediverse! I need your help.
I bought this hanging floating-candle candelabra thing as a teenager, and it survived some 20 years until my mum decided to transport it up to me.
Two of the votives are broken. I have scowered Etsy and eBay and various search engines and not found anything to replace them.
It's rather beautiful lit up, but I haven't been able to enjoy it as an adult.
Can you help? I either need 2 replacement votives or 6. 1/2 #candles #crafts #glass #GlassBlowing
Apologies for the terrible photos.
Ideally, I would like to replace them with matching votives, but given I bought this in the late 90s and there's no mark to say who made it, I get that's a slim chance. But these specific votives are beautiful lit up. IDK if this is something a glass blower could try to duplicate??
Failing that, something that would fit the hangers and sit well with the other votives.
I am disabled on benefits so cannot afford much, but this is special to me. 2/2
Irregular reminder that I'm still looking for work of the type I'd get paid for (I can find the other type much more easily). I'm a software developer in New Zealand. There's a wide range of technology I'm happy working with but I'd probably be able to get up to speed fastest on a project using Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, React, and TypeScript.

@stavvers They've just seen the price of swift bricks in the area.
@stavvers
they're screaming because that's a natural reaction to being in england
I'd forgotten that, back in 2019, I adapted the shot of 'tank man' in Tiananmen Square. It feels even more relevant now.

It's FRIDAY! Woo hoo!
As ever, have a good weekend if you possibly can.
The wee folk tried to learn a couple of new moves this week, but sometimes, just sometimes, I really wish I had given them knees, elbows and waists. Bendy limbs and unbendy bodies are a little restrictive 😆
Whoops.
This is what happens when you rely heavily on government handouts (socialism) to keep your companies afloat.
