monooka got her present so now I can tell y'all what it was. I got her a peanut butter and jelly charm from Pancake Meow. Because like I said inside the box, room service may have excellent peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but now M will always have one. As I mentioned, it's a reminder of a most excellent night. Excellent? Yeah, excellent.

I was very pleased with Leslie's work. I've been a fan of it for a while but I'd never actually ordered from her and it was amazing. She hand makes all those charms from clay and the detail is astounding--the little holes in the sandwich's bread were just...wow. She's gotten mentions on Daily Candy and such, which raised demand so now she typically just does preorders for just a few charms at a time but if you want a cute little present that someone's not likely to have, I highly recommend it. There are other people who do food replica jewelry but I haven't seen anyone that does as realistic work as she does.

And of course, I ordered a charm for her to honor my best friend, the other half of my brain, whom I love like lightning, rainbows and springtime. In a Neanderthal sort of way.
