Oh what a difference. Wasn’t it last week that I started the round-up by saying the sun was shining and the spirit was high? Well, today I woke up to grey skies and rain. That puts a dampener on things – literally. But well, I have an hour before I have to head off to…
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Scissors & Smiles. Nah, of course it isn’t. *I* am Scissors & Smiles, and I am not paying myself to write this post, haha. But well, I do admit I feel a bit odd about advertising on my own behalf. However, Sue from Imfeelingthis Blog had asked me whether…
The suggestion came up in the comments (thank you, Rachel) that some of the items in the auctions overlap with other fandoms. So, today’s spotlight teaser pre-RA birthday auctions is on a few items that might be of interest to fans from outside our own Armitage-centric community. In case this post does indeed reach someone…
Apparently it was World Hobbit Day yesterday. I mean, really, *who* comes up with these “days”? Richard had fond memories, as shared on his Instagram account: View this post on Instagram @theoneringnet Happy Hobbit Day #hobbitday A post shared by Richard Armitage (@richardcarmitage) on Sep 22, 2019 at 9:39am PDT Click through the imagines (three…
If there’s nothing on, it’s time for a shrine post. In anticipation of the birthday auctions I have made a few shrines that are ready to auction. So it is time to show yet another one of them. It will probably be part of a Hobbit fan package… Aw, the dwarves… This tin was gifted to…
Hello hello hello – sorry for the sudden silence yesterday. No complications with the crown prince after his procedure but rather a visitor who came at 2pm and left at 11.30pm 😁. And I had had such high hopes and big plans for yesterday. I was going to watch Hannibal 3×11 and then write the…
It’s time to get back into the groove. The round-ups have suffered greatly this year. Too many holidays! And there will be more weekend trips coming up, with some four dear fandom friends visiting me over the next couple of months, starting with Linda60 next week. Really, I have had my share of holidays this year.…
Good news almost every day. I had a lovely e-mail yesterday from a regular commenter and auction contributor who has promised a shipment of fan items for the auctions. I was gobsmacked because I hadn’t expected any item donations coming in – after all I hadn’t even asked – but there she is, thinking on…
It was a long night, but now it is done: The charity auctions in honour of Richard Armitage’s birthday are now up and running over on eBay. After the quick post yesterday which only included my first trial auction (which is nonetheless real and running), let me now give you the full story: Thanks to some donations from…
Whoa. I didn’t see that one coming! I am probably as surprised as Bilbo Baggins upon opening the door in Bag End to that gorgeous stranger. So here I am, whining and whingeing about lost fangirl mojo, niggling about lack of material and general frustration, and BOOM! the A bomb drops. A as in Armitage.…
