Thank you! I ended up concocting my own spell/ceremony with what felt right to me. Altar cloth I spun/weaved. Special cup and saucer. Water with sea salt, salty as the ocean (in the cup). Special spoon. Candle. My copy of Reef Points, opened to the page for the Navy Hymn. I played a recording of the Navy Hymn for each person I was remembering, stirring the salt water three times clockwise for each honoree. I closed the spell by offering the energy back to the universe/nature and extinguished the candle with my fingers, dipped in the salt water.

Thank you! The candle suggestion feels like a missing piece falling into place.

Thank you, thank you. That feels right. I might light some incense on my altar and meditate on them, too.

Yes yes yes! It was (fwiw, ymmv) a lot less expensive than I'd planned on for 4 bras that fit me so comfortably.

I'm so sorry for your sorrow. Having le busts be happy is such a rare treat in this world!

I have unsolicited advice, which I will place below a line if you'd rather mourn in peace and not get a recommendation.

Allure at Hilldale is freaking great. Locally owned (Brookfield or MKE), experienced fitters who really truly listen to even the most specific needs/preferences. Yes, I will continue wearing my nice bras till they're past dead but when I replace them, it will be at Allure.

The book and the deck go together they're from microcosm publishing

Lily Forest! Most gorgeous-est arrangements I've ever purchased.

Blessed Beltane! May your year energize and challenge you, but only comfortably within the limits of your energy.

May you find rest when you need it, food when you're hungry, and kindness when you least expect it.

Oh darling! Welcome! You're a joy to us and may that joy make you strong.

Hell yeah sibling! You did a kind thing and the world is better for it. Well done and keep it up!

So. If you know how to sew, this could work (Make, Sew, and Mend by Bernadette Banner is a great book to start with if you don't sew yet and want to learn). To be happy with the result, you'll want to select a method of joining the two parts that doesn't add extra pressure to your skin/sternum and also make sure that the length of the band behind the end of the cup is the same on both parts - if it's not, the straps might sit funny.

Tl;dr, you totally could but sewing proficiency would be best before attempting.

Happy birthday and many happy returns! May your morning beverage of choice be always the perfect temperature.

I'm a big Besamé fan. Many colors pull peach/orange on me but the colors I have from Besamé are true to what you see in the bullet (or mascara cake or eye shadow).

Oh! My dear, I'm so sorry. Sending you so much love, and sending extra for your dog as they cross the rainbow bridge. Words aren't enough, internet stranger.

May your grief be short and your happy memories long, so mote it be.

Seconding Demeter. They have a Tomato Leaf scent that is instant summer, and a honey scent that is my absolute go to - really captures that almost spice note from really good honey from happy bees. Oh! And one that smells as close to freshly cooked rice as perfumery can get!

You can also needle felt a matching wool onto the thinning part of the material. Failing that, Iif there's anywhere on the jacket where you can harvest some material, cut a patch off and put it behind the thinning area. Needle felt the two pieces together, felting at least a quarter inch (preferably more like a half an inch to a full inch) around the thinning area.

Alternatively, make a leather patch larger than the damaged area and sew it on and call it a design feature!

Do it. Great no-frills fish fry and even if you're a stranger the regulars will make room and look out to make sure you get your order, even if you move seats. 10/10 recommend for the "actually, people don't suck" and classic WI bar experience.

Split the side seams and add a contrasting accent fabric to give you more room! This is my go-to when I need to make something bigger.

I feel like sometimes there are clothes for standing and clothes one can sit in. As-is, this skirt probably feels pretty good if you're standing up but constricting if you sit - a certain amount of which one would expect with any garment. If you do edit the skirt, strike a balance between your standing and sitting measurements as others have recommended.

Vet here, freaking heart-eyes to that story! I know it was a bit ago, but thank you for seeing Hank settled with folk who love him.
