All of these chandelier crystals. They are a lot prettier in person than in the photo.

Don't forget, tomorrow is Bella Vista's Show Us Your Roosters Party. I was hoping to get out and buy a pretty rooster just for the occasion, but seeing as the car isn't running right now I will be making some pretty rooster-y crafts for the party. Hopefully homemade is okay.
