Unlike last month's bangles, this souvenir is distinctly less practical. I saw it and had to bring it home with me without any particular rhyme or reason. It looks like a plain old rock on the outside but inside reveals a bit of glittery goodness. I think it would look just lovely on a stack of coffee table books or papers on a desk. I guess I'm a sucky for a surprise sparkly.

ReplyDeleteWOW! Very pretty! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOoooh that is a fun sparkly surprise inside I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love that! I too am weak in the face of a sparkly stone.
ReplyDeleteRoses are red,
ReplyDeleteViolets are blue.
Nothing rhymes with Marrakech,
So this is the best I can do.
Wow, that is really beautiful! Never seen a rock that I felt like I must have, lol!
ReplyDeleteThis is the one thing that I wished I had brought back as a souvenir from my trip to Morocco! I only bought a ring...though it is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it! I know just where i'd put it.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that is amazing!!!

This is a totally selfish request -- but I'd love to see some new suggestions for framing. I have a bunch of lovely paintings done by my grandfather and no idea what to put them in.

And now a joke, courtesy of Geoff Anandappa:
ReplyDelete"Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the
stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke
Watson up and said: "Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you
see." Watson replied: "I see millions and millions of stars." Holmes
said: "And what do you deduce from that?" Watson replied: "Well, if
there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets,
it’s quite likely there are some planets like Earth out there. And if
there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life."
And Holmes said: "Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our
tent."
I laughed, anyway. :)

ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love a sparkly rock? Especially one from an exotic place. Thanks for lugging it home to offer it up to us!

ReplyDeleteOh wow it's absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted! :)
ReplyDeleteI love pretty rocks!
ReplyDeleteI guess the rock is a type of geode? I'd love to win it!
ReplyDeleteMake you laugh? Ok, here's a redneck joke or dog joke - whatever you want to call it. I read it in Garden & Gun magazine.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know that dog is man's best friend? Put your dog & your wife in the trunk of the car. Drive out into the middle of the woods, open the trunk & see who is happy to see you?
I can't help it, I laugh every time I hear that joke. We have a labrador retriever & she would be so excited & happy no matter the circumstance. Of course if my dh did that to me I'd be a little more than angry with him. ;o)
You had me at 'glittery goodness'. Thanks for the chance to display this on my coffee table:)
ReplyDeletePlease throw my hat into the ring for your souvenir. I may create a tableau and submit it to http://fuckyournoguchicoffeetable.tumblr.com/
ReplyDeleteI would love to have that pretty piece!
ReplyDeleteSo cool. I wish I had brought back some geodes from Brazil-the amethyst capital of the world-but didn't want to lug a rock back with me. Btw there are way to many bad rock jokes running through my head-too easy- so I will spare you!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Playing draw something at work and had to guess the drawing... Of a WEDGIE! My girlfriend and I were laughing and had to explain it to our Manager... Akward!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, how unusually beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! Would love this!
ReplyDeleteA glittery giveaway? Yes please!
ReplyDeleteBest Giveaway ever! I LOVE LOVE LOVE rocks. Good luck to me :D Thanks for hosting this awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I loved all your photos from Marrakech - a place I'd like to visit one day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great give away, if you want a laugh try living with a teenage daughter who relives SNL's "Land Shark" every day, 30 + years after it first aired!!
ReplyDeleteKnock knock.....
Have a beautiful day :)
Absolutely gorgeous. Must have for my home.
ReplyDeleteUgly on the outside, pretty on the inside.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! It would look so nice tucked into a styled bookcase.
ReplyDeleteeek! that is TOTALLY beautiful and I would be so happy to have it in my home! gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI love geodes, but I've never seen a dark one like that. Count me in.
ReplyDeleteSparkly rocks, I love sparkly rocks and have a purple one that would be perfect next to your black one - which I've never seen anything like before!
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful that would look in my house.
ReplyDeleteI would be so lucky to win it!
Ohh so cool and sparkly!! I'd love it!
ReplyDeleteVery unique and pretty! Thanks for the great giveaway :-)
ReplyDeleteActually, it looks like a dragon's egg :D
ReplyDeleteI lurve that little guy!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteLove rocks - especially sparkly ones :) Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous! Such a great giveaway.
ReplyDeletewho wouldn't want this!
ReplyDeleteOohhhh! Perfect for my eight year old, who has decided she is a scientist and is fascinated by rocks and fossils and all things sparkly (that last part has nothing to do with being a scientist).
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool souvenir! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that! I have always wanted to go to Morocco!
ReplyDeleteMake you laugh?
ReplyDeleteHere's my dad's joke:
An old man went to the doctor.
'I can't pee' he said.
The doctor asked 'How old are you?'
'NInety' said the old man.
'You've peed enough.'
I love sparkly things! Your blog is really fun to read too.
ReplyDeleteI think I love knowing that it landed in Brooklyn best.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you really want to part with that gem?
pve
I love love LOVE your travel posts. And I love that you just pick up and go someplace because they're having a lantern festival!
ReplyDeleteThis egg shaped rock is way cool, hope you pick me = )
I would love to have that for my credenza!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! I love reading your travel posts, and would love a post on how you all rack up frequent flyer miles, if that's not too personal :?)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat rock. I totally wish that I could go travel someday.
ReplyDeleteNot too personal but not much to say either. We fly exclusively on one airline alliance and take a few big trips a year + use a credit card that earn us sweet miles. The other trips come via the free flights we earn from all that.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a unique find.
