I've always wondered what that one actually looks like on the ear...is the strand between the spider and the web stiff of flexible?

I've also wondered the same, but I can't really give you a 100% sure answer right now because I've let the earrings be delivered to my parents' place (someone is there all the time and can easily receive the post).
I've asked my mom, she said that she didn't really look closely, but she thinks they are stiff but still can dangle around a bit. I assumed that myself when I bought them because otherwise they would get easily tangled up in themselves and that wouldn't be practical...

Ah right then...

Checked the earring myself yesterday. The strand is very stiff! :woohoo: The strand is attached to the plastic stopper and the web part is on it's own. I can already imagine how I can wear just the web part without the spider if I use just a plain stopper with it.

I had a feeling I would've bid against someone on these forums at some point or another. I thought I got a real deal, it was about 4 GBP incl. postage for me and I've seen them go way higher, ending at up to 10 GBP incl. postage.

Generally I'm quite patient - I've noticed that particular seller seems to put endless amounts of the same Alchemy stuff up for bids regularly, so.. *Lurks*

I wasn't very interested in the dice, so I'm not that sorry to have been outbid.
I thought it would be a nice thing to have then if at some point I want to use runes more...

I've noticed the same with that seller but you never know if some piece is the only one they have. :silly:

Ahh I was just curious about the dice - I've never owned a set of runes, so I thought rune-dice would be something new to play around with and are useful for travelling around. I just have decks of tarot and I'm very reluctant to move those from my house in case they get damaged.

Got my eye on the hairsticks they've been selling..But I'm generally not willing to pay for the prices the others bid up to. I love the little dragon one..When the price is right, I'll leap in. :woohoo:

Ah, I don't like the dragon design out of all those hair sticks! Somehow the dragon looks weird to me. :silly: I like the pentagram and bat one, but I also don't like how far the others bid on those so I don't bother.

I'm still waiting for my catalogue that I ordered on November 5. I emailed a couple of weeks ago, and got a reply, in which they apologized for the mistake and said they were sending it out again. Hopefully it'll turn up soon...

I'm glad to hear that you got a reply and that they are sorting it out! I'll keep my fingers crossed that you don't have to wait too long for it!
