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.

I'm older. You be the sidekick.

Whereas I'm the oldest sibling in my family. SEE.

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.

I think I'm probably Batman. Explains the inability to ask people for help when I'm swamped. And the Robin love.

You're El. Only with a laptop instead of a guitar.

Which I LOVE LIKE A VERY LOVED THING.

But there's something extra-special about the found-object non-merchandizing type of thing. It's like the universe recognizing your love for the fandom and gifting you with the thing you would love the most.

*huggles*

Thank you. You and MaryMoo have made me very cheerful this evening after I've spent too much time today indulging my little morose self.

Whoa! Boobies!


I mean, uh. NEAT :D I wonder if this will lead to any firmer ideas about just what it is? Thai, eh? Hmmmm.

*hugs a you, internet-style*

You're so very right about the found-object thing. I have many things, clothes and trinkets alike, which totally fit this, and they're the non-gift things which are dearest to fandom-me.
