Interesting Finds

I was in a local Marshall's store yesterday. I woke up with this feeling that I had to go there and take a look. Later in the day I decided to go because I hadn't been shopping there for quite awhile and you never really know what you're going to chance upon in their store. Many times in the past, I just happened to find very interesting things for decorating or to use in my craft, so I like going there every once and a while to see what I can find.

Anyways, I got there in the early afternoon, and while strolling through the housewares isles, I found, tucked away in a corner...a whole bunch of huge bells. Never in a million years did I expect to find bells at a local store. I was ecstatic! Of course I had to buy one.

I had this feeling all day that I should go there and take a look, and my gut feeling was right! How awesome was that? I am so happy that I trusted my intuition, because I had been looking online for a bell to use in ritual for ages now. I actually have a very small one I bought over a year ago, but the sound it makes it too soft and high-pitched, and on occasion the hammer gets stuck. Kills my concentration every time.

The bell I purchased is very big, more than I wanted it to be, but that's okay. The sound it makes it just perfect, not to loud or high pitched, and the sound vibrates after the bell has rung, which is important to me because I would like to use it to create sacred space and call the quarters.
The next time I get a feeling about going to Marshall's I will certainly be heading there. I may find something even better the next time 'round!
