Unique Gold Dolphin Earrings for Her

I always go about things the hard way. When my wife asked for a pair of gold dolphin earrings last Christmas, instead of searching the internet, I searched Macy’s, Nordstrums and all the jewelry shops at all the malls within a twenty mile radius of our house. What did I find? A few pairs of dangle dolphin earrings, but nothing where I thought I had much of a choice. I like choices, and lots of them.

Last year I could barely use the internet, so I was pretty limited. And since I never found exactly what I was looking for, Tammy had to wait for Valentines Day for that special pair of earrings. (Lucky for me, she is a very patient woman.) But in between the holidays and Valentine’s Day, I learned to surf the internet. And on one very lucky day, I discovered The Magic Zoo, with their unique handmade jewelry. Now this is a sight extraordinaire for any animal lover. And they had dolphin jewelry galore.

Yes, but did they have gold dolphins? Yep. And of course they were just the pair I was looking for. Did my wife agree? Of course! Now she’s a rather costly fan of this site, but it does make my shopping easier!

The Black Locust Bonsai Makes a Nice Retirement Gift

admin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:00:33 +0000

One of the more interesting outdoor bonsai to give as a gift, especially for those looking to spend more time with their bonsai trees, is the Black Locust (robina pseudoacacia). These bonsai actually get pretty large compared to other bonsai trees, and they look very impressive once they’re grown. They’re outdoor bonsai, and they feature bark that is somewhat different from other trees. They are quite tolerant of different types of weather, and they grow fast. Unlike some bonsai, the Black Locust does flower—it will bloom with white blossoms that have a small bit of yellow in them. These fragrant blossoms will attract bees to them during the spring.

There are many different aspects to growing a Black Locust, or any type of bonsai for that matter. One of the things you may not think requires a lot of thought is the pot. However, there are several rules for the pot. For a flowering bonsai like the Black Locust, you want a glazed pot that is done in a color that will compliment the blooms. You also want a pot that will compliment the way you plan to grow your bonsai. If you plan on growing it in an upright style, for example, you might want to go with a square or rectangular pot.
