Hairstick from Fox


Abalone aka paua shell Posted by Picasa

I've coveted this stick Fox sells for a long time. Finally, it's mine. You'd never be able to tell that it's not a set. They go together perfectly. Paua is the most colorful of abalone shells. I love to see the play of light on paua.

Twenty years ago I bought the earrings and necklace at Sunny Jim's Cave in La Jolla, California. I wanted to revisit it last year but could not find parking. Parking is a problem there. They have a neat store full of what else, nautical items. You take about 145 steps down to the mouth of the cave. I first went when I was 11 years old. It's a must see! Very quaint. We lived in Pacific Beach back then. Pacific Beach is for the not rich and La Jolla is for the ultra rich. I ate at Top O' the Cove once when a guy took me on a date. It was a little too conservative and quiet for me, but it was very nice.

Well I've never had so much fun with comments before. And I would never have guessed that you ever visited here, Fox. It is good. :) I'm exceedingly happy with the stick I chose. It's perfect. Hugs back, Lil
