Friday Finds, Superhero Style: Bat Signal



Meow is right. Last weekend I found three out of six 1992 Batman Returns collector cups from McDonalds at a yard sale. They were carelessly thrown in a box marked FREE, what a steal! The frisbee batdisc lids were long lost, but they were the designs with the best comic art - Batman chasing a villain, Catwoman jumping from building to building, and Penguin riding his rubber ducky of death.

I prowled Etsy for Catwoman costumes two weeks ago, so today I summoned Batman instead. My searchlight illuminated several handmade bat signals.

    My best friend's daughter got married last month and the groom's ring has the Batman logo. Batman is my favorite superhero. I think it's the angst. :)

    You sometimes find the coolest stuff in the "free" box, which is why the best things in life are free. I loved this Batman movie. I don't remember the cups, but my little bunny mind isn't very good at recall.

    I'm hoppin' over from Stumble Through Thursday blog hop because I like to hop.

Giveaway: Clear Quartz Dagger Earrings by WireQueen

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 108th commenter, Andalene! Accessorize an outfit and rejuvenate your spirit at the same time! Michelle of WireQueen is bequeathing a beautiful pair of clear quartz earrings to one of my readers. The design is named "Midwife Healer" in honor of the midwife that delivered her second daughter. The four sided dagger beads are different lengths and embraced by sterling silver wrap with surgical steel earwires. She has already cleared the crystals, but if you ever need to recharge or remove unwanted energy, simply place in a window that is beaming with sunlight. Michelle believes that the Creator gave to all things a purpose, including gemstones. She covers as little of the "face" of the stone as possible, but still secures it safely in its setting.
