Okay, here’s my contribution to Eye-Candy Friday, as started by Sundara last week as a way to brighten loooooong Friday afternoons.It might not be much, but at least it’s something to look at while Chappy and I are on the road to Maryland.

The picture is a close-up of the bowl of marbles I have sitting on my dresser. It’s only a few inches wide, and is actually a yellow “sea” glass, with a handful of these lovely iridescent marbles. I found them at a craft show–the marbles were actually a part of a necklace where you could change the marble to go with different outfits. I didn’t want a necklace, but I loved the marbles and couldn’t keep my fingers away from them, and so he sold me a handful for a few dollars.

Then I went directly to a stall that’s at this craft show every year, with these nice, organic bowls, and bought this. $20, and there I was, with the perfect accent for my dresser.

Really, it’s amazing how much I love this little bowl.

(I like this blurry photo, too–the colors are almost jewel-like.)

Oh, and I love my dusting method for it, too–I turn it upside down on top of Chappy’s crate. I wipe out the bowl, and then roll the marbles around on the blanket covering his crate–the wire keeps them from getting out of control, and the blanket gets all the dust off. Then, scoop them back into the bowl, and there you go. Everything’s clean . . . without losing any marbles!
