Buying online is fine but there's nothing like seeing the merchandise first hand and getting to try it all on! :laugh:

I know exactly how you feel!


As do I. I have an increasingly huge pile of online \"regret\" purchases that don't fit or look different in person.

oh, I could sing a song about online \"regret\" purchases too. :( I went through a brief period of really bad impulse shopping, so now I'm trying to sell that stuff again. Good thing that most of it wasn't that expensive, quite cheap in fact, and I kept the tags on, so I hope it will sell fast again.

Just sold my old leather trench coat this week (I lost so much weight that it became 2 sizes too big), and from a part of the money I bought this Iron Fist hoody I've been watching for ages. Found a seller on ebay who was selling it for a third of the RRP, otherwise I never would have bought it, as the original price is just insane.

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

Uh....I was actually hoping someone out there could help me answer that one.




I found her in a second-hand store a couple weeks ago and I had to give her a home. :cheer:

I'm sure it is some deity.

I looked on the interweb for any clue. the closet I came to for a deity with a Griffin body and a human upper body is an Assyrian/Babylonian GOD named Pazuzu.
Unfortunately, Pazuzu is MALE, and my statue/candle holder is clearly FEMALE.

If anyone has any idea what Her name is, I would appreciate it.

It could be a sphinx variant. The Greek form of the sphinx has wings unlike the Egyptian form but, in popular culture, you can often find Greek style sphinxes along side iconography from other regions which confuses identification. Either way she is quite beautiful. Awesome find!

I agree with cemwerewolf, that's clearly a Greek Sphinx. Nice find!

Thank you cemwerewolf and Black_magnolia

It will have to have a nice place of honour to be displayed.
