mini cellos and violins

Say, [personal profile] esteven, did your bears ever get their cello and violin, respectively?  I've been looking on ebay at dollhouse sized ones...  Did you see the amazing $400 violin for a dollhouse that I linked to last week?  It's incredible.  I certainly couldn't make such an exquisite tiny violin for $400.  (Though the bow is kind of funny looking.  But many of the miniature bows are, I'm finding.)  But they're all so CUTE!  I can't wait to get my own and hold them in my hands.  I've always had a funny kind of enamored-ness (is there a noun in there somewhere?) with musical instruments as physical objects, especially the stringed ones.  I have a similar enamored-ness with toe shoes as objects.  And opera singers' throats as objects.  (Just kidding about that one.  Yeah...)  Anyway, I think I might get this cello off of ebay.

You know, I think it's actually my poppets who are whispering these things to me, about making these roomboxes and buying musical instruments and the like!!!  Here I was thinking all along, "No, nobody's going to inhabit these little spaces.  That just wouldn't be quite right.  I'll just furnish and decorate them as if the people have just stepped out for a moment."  But I think my poppets are planning to sneak in there at night and live it up, dissecting little fish or eating weevil-infested hard tack - and now they want MUSIC too!  How did I never suspect this before???

And if that's the case, then who's been whispering to me to buy miniature silver...?  *looks around uneasily for a poppet Killick*  And what are Sophie and Diana poppets going to demand?

Oh, shoot, my "Curse you, Villiers" icon is on my hard drive at home.

Sophie and Diana would need shawls from India, and pens and parchment for their eternal letter-writing, and of course CHILDREN. And the Villiers woman would need a suit of armor and a safe-house to protect her from me.

I don't think I've ever seen a "Curse you, Villiers" icon from you!!! (Or from anyone else, for that matter).

Indian shawls, now that's a lovely idea. *squishes you affectionately, and your little Maturin too*

Turns out I hate the old one, which I guess is why I banished it to my hard drive. So I made a new one which more clearly expresses my, er, antipathy toward her. *is evil*

NOBODY HURTS MY STEPHEN.

Wait, what happened?

Here.

haha!

Nobody hurts MY Stephen either! Oh, right now in the Gunroom they're talking about depressed!Stephen at the beginning of M&C AND IT'S BREAKING MY HEART (and I love it.)

OH STEPHEN!!!!!!! I'm going to make us some hot chocolate, all right? And if you don't drink yours, I'll drink it for you. OH ANGST!

Oh, I must hurry over! Which thread? I haven't been on the list for a couple of years now: it was a lot overwhelming to try to keep up!

[identity profile] grace-poppy.livejournal.com 2007-10-04 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's called something about "M&C Stanhope's death."

And what book are you on? *G*

[identity profile] grace-poppy.livejournal.com 2007-10-04 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Treason's Harbour" now. (I keep it listed in my profile.) Or do you mean cionaudha?

[identity profile] cionaudha.livejournal.com 2007-10-04 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
If you mean me, I left them at The Fortune of War. I live in Boston. If I don't let them go to Halifax, I can keep them here forever!!!! *cackle*

I do not like that woman (though I admit that she gives me plenty of Suicidal!Stephen to fret over, which is kinda good).

[identity profile] grace-poppy.livejournal.com 2007-10-04 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww, but you should continue reading! Maybe they'll come BACK to Boston, and stop in North Carolina on the way. (Actually, they did sail past NC and I was all excited - I think they mentioned the outer banks or something).

*L*! Awww... So, how often do you go over to The Constitution? I was there once, but it was waaaay before I got into O'Brian; I'd love to see her again.

She DOES get better... but I'm sure you've been told that before.

[identity profile] rosamundeb.livejournal.com 2007-10-04 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah - good to hear! I meant her, but I've been wondering about you, too - *G*.
