Unboxing a Couple of Goodies
I just opened up a couple boxes of things I bought recently. One box had the statue I bought to represent Aoibheall, while the other box had a bowl and Quaich, both made of Cow horn.
Despite being as gentle as I can be, the wings on the back of the statue for Aoibheall broke off the moment I pulled the statue out of the weird styrofoam wrapping that felt more like gauze than anything else. On one hand, I wasn't a fan of the wings on Her back anyway, as I hate tthe fact that almost every Fairy statue out there seems to have wings. On the other hand, I hate breaking anything. Thankfully the statue is great despite the wings braking on Me. Also, I love the fact that Her little Cat also has wings, it makes Me think of Tressems from the Forgotten Realms.
The biggest disapointment of the day came when I pulled the offering bowl and Quaich out of the box. While the bowl is slightly shallower than I would like, it's fine enough for Me to use with little to no issue. The quaich on the other hand is terrible. While it's big enough to pour liquid in it and drink out of it, You can't put much into it at all. It's far to small for true practical use, and I'm probably going to replace it as soon as I can. Also, it didn't come with actual handles on the side, just little tabs that made Me think of a measuring cup.
