Portraits of You with Stevie Nicks

Knitting pictures soon -- probably Saturday, and not tomorrow, as we have another candidate coming in tomorrow and I need to get to work early so as to drink coffee and discuss literature. I'm working through the very simple mohair-and-metallic-thread pullover. Mindless. Fluffy. Very cheering.

I'm really excited about a new gift source I've run across -- thanks to mimi smartypants for the link.

Because it's lovely.

I find that, as I scroll down the page, perusing the various possible permutations of Portraits of You With Stevie Nicks, that I think of more and more dear, very beloved friends who could really benefit from one of these.

And look! All you need is a photo of your buddy! This could So Easily be done without their ever ever knowing what was in store for Christmas, or birthday. It'll help if they have Big Hair, but that's not strictly necessary.

And the choices! You can have your portrait painted with Stevie cause she just LOVES you, or you can have your portrait painted with Stevie cause you're both in what appears to be a sister act, or you can have your portrait painted with Stevie because you actually ARE Stevie....

And! Should you be musically inclined yourself, like Stevie, you can have your portrait with your best buddy Stevie painted directly onto a tambourine! Cool! If you'd rather, you can have your tambourine painted with a portrait of Stevie and a Wolf. This Means Something, I gather. (Should you require ribbons for your tambourine, and be disinclined to go on over to the local Michaels and make them yourself, there's a Helpful Link so you can get someone else to make them for you. And then you can be sure they'll coordinate.)

Does Stevie know about this?

Luckily, for those of you out there -- and you know who you are -- who might be worried about whether I'm going to buy you a portrait of you and Stevie, nah. Not gonna, much as I'd like to. They cost Way Too Much.
