Something I have looked for for a long time is a nice, leather-bound copy of just The Psalms, to use for personal devotions. I didn't think it would be hard at all, but it was, surprisingly so. New Testaments with Psalms are everywhere, and I probably have a couple of those, but I've always had an objection to New Testaments. It's like carrying around half a Bible (really more like 1/4). I have known people who never read anything but the New Testament, with the possible exception of the Psalms and Genesis. Weird. On the other hand, because of their nature, the Psalms are devotionals, so are suited for that use.
Anyway......I finally found this on ebay. It has very large print - so in a pinch I could use it without my glasses (!!!), and the added benefit of being an antique - printed in 1911. I wasn't looking for that, but it's pretty neat.
The other thing I found is this.
I love jewelry and have done some jewelry making and beading for years. Brooches/pins are one of my favorite types of jewelry and I have many - usually inexpensive costume stuff. One form of jewelry I'm not in love with are necklaces. I've got a lot of pendants, drops, and other bits in my jewelry box though. Then I thought of this. It's a brooch with a hook on the back that ladies used to hang a little watch on, but I could use to hang my pendants. (the 'watch' in the picture is a piece of printed cardboard so the seller could show how it was used) There were hundreds on ebay, but I liked this one.
Can anyone besides me see the outline of a sheep's head/face in the design?
