    Some artwork for you with a 'spacey' theme. This time from one of the UK's favourite artists, although not my cup of tea to be honest.
    Here we have three cold cast sculptures: "Its Good to be Bad', 'Catch a FallingStar' and 'Space Cadets'.

    Something I really wanted... but was out-bid !
    A vintage lunar crater glass paperweight. "What was I going to do with it?" asked the wife.... no idea, but it looked great!

    A 'Star Sapphire' ring. A type of gemstone that exhibits a star-like phenomenon when a bright point source of light is pointed at it - known as an 'asterism' - there you go, two 'astronomy' links! A new one on me, photographed plenty of Moonstone rings, but not one of these before...

    So, let's add a Moonstone ring into the mix...
