OH MY FREAKING GOD!

So, today might quite possibly have been the most fortuitous day EVER. Mary and I were being suave citizens of our city, drinking coffee, window shopping around, and we decide to leave the swanky street we're in and head home. I say, "Do you mind if we stop and have a look in Ishka first?" So it's just a couple shops down, we go in, browse around. In the farthest corner of the store, on a shelf, behind a card stand and amongst stacks of fisherman's trousers, is a little basket. This little basket is full of charms. I pick through it idly. And find this:



Look familiar?



THAT'S RIGHT, BITCHES. IT'S DEAN'S FREAKING AMULET!

There is no doubt about it. This is not a variety of the same symbolic figure. IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME.

So Mary and I bought the two that they had in that store, and mosied over to where we knew there was another branch, and dug around and bought a handful more of them. Which we will most likely put up on ebay to share with the greater Supernatural fan community some time in the near future. I'll link to the auctions when we get organised.



Nestled in the cleavage, in a manner that would no doubt wholly approved by Dean Winchester.

HOLY CRAP! HOLY CRAP! I am SO freaking over-the-MOON about this. DEAN'S AMULET! DEAN'S FREAKING AMULET! YESSS!!!

For those of you interested in the meta-side of the amulet; we asked the manager of the store about its origins and all he could tell us was that it's a brass cast charm, made in Thailand, and a discontinued line of stock. So.

OMG!

OMG! OMG!!! *flails* Me wants one. *sighs* I guess I will have to persuade my dad to let me do some bidding on ebay soon, eh? (Though I expect to have no chance once this news spreads throughout fandom. *sighs*)

But seriously, how freaking awesome is that?! You lucky, lucky girls.

discontinued line of stock

That is really cool.

I know just how you feel. I once stumbled across one of Jack Sparrow's beads in a little bin in an incense shop.

[identity profile] neaf.livejournal.com 2006-09-15 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
there's something about australia and this stuff. i remember when [livejournal.com profile] kendaa and i found the exact same sword/snake charm that Kevin Smith wore as an earring as Ares in Xena. people were going NUTS trying to get them made or trying to get the official merchandise company for Herc and Xena to make them, and we just came across them in some side street in sydney and a new age store in shellharbour.

it's such an awesome find. and you're right - it's the exact same charm.

<3. i might have a looksee around, see if i can gnarf one for m'self.

Sounds like it's just a lucky find. I did see somewhere on LJ an essay that the amulet was Astarte/Asherah. It was very interesting

Not that I'll be able to out-bid anyone else in Fandom but you really must let us know when those go up on EBay.

Also? Hot damn that's some nice luck right there.

Of course it would be you who found it, AND RIGHTLY SO.

Good job, kiddo. ;)
