What's your sign?

A clothing store (in Bratislava, Slovakia) with a clear sign showing a fancy coat of arms and the store name, Merde Royale, which is French for royal shit.

@peculiarityshop.bsky.social My clip adaptors arrived, so now I can show off my new earrings and ring. So beautiful!

Not enough cat pics? Let me fix that.

We've got tons of readings and panels, all Canadian authors of all kinds

A yellow polka dot background with a red fox looking out at the reader in the foreground. Black text lists the dates for Fiction Fest: June 21 to July 4, and a cartoon-style talk bubble has the fox saying: “Mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, horror and more! Check out our all-Canadian online fiction festival!”

Got all my new editions for Tri-Pride. These will be full price and older editions of SIB and AFoL will be available for about half these prices.

An open box containing 20 copies of 3 books: Sawdust & Silk, Sing It Back, and a Fistful of Lollies.

Oh, sorry.

There are certain rings that @peculiarityshop.bsky.social posts that send me digging through my aunt's jewellery to remind myself that I already have all the sparklies, even if they don't fit.

A woman's hand on black cloth. Her thumb and three fingers have at least one ring on them (totaling eight), most of which are the same stone, and two of which are identical.

The stacks on the floor are the latest weeding pile.

A very messy set of bookshelves, some stacked two rows deep. There are also trinkets and antiques, plus a stack of books on the floor in front.

@stephaniecanada.bsky.social Have you ever compared this pattern with the vintage? I'm curious because the pattern pieces have logos from different eras on them.

A sewing pattern envelope, showing a drawing of two women in 1950s dresses. The pattern is Butterick 6240, Retro Butterick '52.

Would you like a skunk? He's awfully cute.

My local fashion history museum shared this in a newsletter, and I thought it might be interesting to some of you. "... a rare example of a Worth gown, but it is also a rare extant example of a larger size Victorian dress. The corsetted waist measures about 35 inches, and the bust about 43 inches."

A yellow Victorian gown with voluminous sleeves, fabric with tone-on-tone pattern, embroidery, and fringe.

Speaking of self-made book covers that work until you can afford a better one: Got a camera? Got some thematic stuff? You can do this too.

A book cover consisting of musical staff paper with three linked rope hearts of different colours. The text reads "Sing it Back, Cheryl S Rosbak. It takes three strands to make a rope."

The new wall colour for the dining room/library.

A bright green wall, the colour of fresh olives or spring leaves.

What happens when you want to repaint behind your bookcases (A dining room. The floor around the table is covered in small stacks of books. Going up, the table itself is stacked with a solid cube of books, 3x2x3 feet. There are also books on another area of the floor. All genres and types.)

A Chester for you

And because you can't have one without the other, here's Boris overflowing his cat tree.

A wooden cat tree with perches jutting forward. On one, facing the camera, is a large, fluffy grey cat. You can barely see the perch beneath him.

Chester, very sad that I'm not throwing a ball to him from the bottom of the stairs.

A floor-level picture at the top of a set of stairs, looking into a hallway. Peeking out from around a corner is a tabby-and-white cat, crouched at floor level and looking sad. His pupils are wide. There's a red ball behind him.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some Zen to the timeline

Dozens of tiny paper books in various colours scattered on a table. A hand rests next to them for scale, and no book is bigger than a fingernail.

Cheryl Rosbak@csrosbak· Feb 20

I had the wrong cat on my lap today. Chester was miffed.

A couch, length-wise. At the near end is a fluffy grey cat, eyes half-closed, enjoying a lap and scratches. In the background, at the other end of the couch and pitched on a cat tree, is a tabby cat, glaring at the camera.

Happy Valentine's Day from Boris's heart-shaped nose

A close-up of a fluffy grey cat's face, chin resting on an olive green knitted sweater. He's looking off to one side and the angle shows off the distinct dip in the top of his black nose.

I was just asking someone if they have experience with playing D&D and my phone offered up this horror. There was one with ducks, too.

Brightly coloured, stylized flowers surrounding bubble text that says "are you experienced playing D & D?"

If you’re living in frozen conditions right now, post the most summery picture in your photo library.

A giant open yellow rose, all ruffles and swirls in the centre. Sun is shining from slightly behind, making the upper petals glow.
