WINE CHARM IDEAS

Well Novel Spirits, I must say it feels more like we are Ordinary Spirits right now. Why is no one voting on the ONE SECOND AFTER poll? Time to put your game faces on Novel Spirits!! Ok, well now I feel bad because it seems like I am always scolding one or more people on posts. Maybe I'll focus on more positive things. Like Indy's ideas: while reading THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE, don't forget to make a note of some favorite quotes or sections of the book so you can share with us at the next meeting. Another positive: there is always great food and wine at the meetings. Ok, I'm starting to feel a little better now.

So, the point of this post (surprisingly was not to belittle the Novel Spirits) is to put forth an idea from Archimedes and Diesel. They found a few ideas for wine charms from Etsy that we might want to purchase for our club members. Let me use this opportunity to make another positive comment then. Thank you Archimedes and Diesel for researching and contributing this great idea. After all, I think we've all noticed how Deuce "accidently" takes large gulps from everyone's wine glasses because she "forgets" which wine glass is hers. I'm on to you Deuce! So here are a couple of links for you all to check out and see what you might think about these charm ideas. Right after this post, I'll put up another poll so you can vote on the ideas.

Second link: Customized favorite book charms


Lastly, how is everyone's progress on THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE so far? My update: I started reading it last night but fell asleep at page 4. I hope the reason is just because it was 1:00 am rather than any other reason. But I'm sure its a great book.

Ok, please vote on the two polls Novel Spirits!!!

    I would also like to thank Arch and Diesel for finding the charms - I've selected my favorite! I haven't started The Road to Wellville yet. Thought I would wait till closer to meeting time. Question for group that maybe we can discuss at the next meeting - should we consider a meeting fee (say $1.00) at each meeting to cover club expenses like the wine charms? I think Squid would make an excellent treasurer if he ever shows up (Ohhh that was mean of me)! I also wanted to say I enjoyed meeting our newest members at the last meeting and to say "welcome". Keep up the good work, Baron!

    We (JB and Cat) very much enjoyed our first NS bookclub and meeting Indy and her husband. We like Indy's idea for dues. As for next book, after two attempts, we are still unable to find "Wellville" at bricks and mortar bookstores. Will keep searching! Looking forward to seeing all of you at our condo in March!

    Just wanted to make a quick addendum to this post and clarify that we certainly are not limited to just these two options. Diesel and I found several contenders, but these two were among our favorites. If you guys come across some charms that you'd like to nominate, we welcome all contributions. Just wanted to share what we had found. :) Has anyone started the next book yet? I'm about a quarter of the way through it, and like it so far.

    I have also been on the lookout for wine glass charms. I haven't really seen any that are unique. But, I will keep looking. I do like the ones that are posted and even if we got both sets, we need a set for each members home. Now the only challenge will be for me to remember which charm is on my glass (lol)! So, you will still need to guard your glass! The idea of a small fee would be good. I hope someone is taking notes, as there seems to be several things that need to be discussed at the upcoming meeting.
