Yesterday, the AI gods on my social media feed dangled a wonderful new Tree of Life chime that, as soon as I saw it, I knew I needed to add to the Jack the Spruce musical collection.
Turns out it was being sold by a petit, cute, sweet but patently bad-ass biker chick/poet/artist named Amanda Preuss.

It seems that Amanda (and her man) collects/hangs chimes as well, but this particular chime didn’t fit among her more chakra stones energized series that can be found on her property. I was thrilled to take it off her hands.
As far as I’m concerned, it is hard to find an interesting themed, solid brass/copper chime that is held together by chain link instead of cords. Only the fully metal chimes hold up well to the NoCo winds and winter. And this one was 3D.
It fit perfectly among the other Tree of Life themed chimes that can be found hanging on JTS.

As anyone who has read The Claire Saga, read my posts or watched my videos, JTS and surrounding property of Casa Claire is rife with the tinkling of chimes of all sizes.
Indeed, anyone who has come up the driveway and into the JTS Grotto will remark on how they hear the tinkling of fairy bells, whether or not there is a breeze to cause it.
And I find that just so magical.
And the feral familiars seem pleased with the latest acquisition to the JTS Mystical Orchestra in the protective canopy over the Salem Sanctuary for Wayward Cats.

So, my fine, five readers, that is how you imbue a property with mystical qualities: one chime at a time.
And Amanda, should you stumble upon this blog, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you. Thanks, for the chime!
Well, here we all are at another Hump Day.
You fine, five readers who are still propelling society through your individual and collective industry take heart. It’s all down hill from here.
So, toss that last cuppa down the hatch, pull up your socks, put on your skates and attack the hill. Make sure you wave at Friday from the peak. It is waiting for your arrival with open arms.
And whatever else we get up to, let’s make today a great one.
