Santa Elf Couple Christmas Ornament
Personalized Christmas Ornament
Using small tools in Santa's workshop, the massive team of tiny elves work tirelessly the whole year through to make toys for children around the world. This personalized elf ornament shows the impish charm of a pair of elves, whether a fun-loving couple, brothers, sisters, cousins or best friends. Perched over a large hammer, one elf holds a sign that permanently reads WILL WORK FOR SANTA! Makes a great gift for a couple who still believes in the magic of Christmas or for children who dream of riding the Polar Express to the North Pole to see the elves busily making toys in Santa's workshop.

Dear forum,
After lots of hours of trial'n'error I would like to share with you the results of my search for a good workflow with kdenlive.
May it be helpful to some of you.
I'm shooting with a Panasonic SD300, which gives me AVCHD-Clips (container: MTS) in 1080i/50fps.
Audio format is Dolby Digital (AC-3), Sourround 5.1 @ 384 kbps
I'm not a professional, nor do I have a HD-TV or any other HD monitor.
Therefore I do not need 1920x1080 (but of course I keep the original files for future times)
My pc is just a dual core (HP TX 2500 Tablet PC, nice machine btw) so I'm not able to cut AVHCD directly.
And I don't have endless space on my hard disk.
Putting all this together I decided to transcode the MTS-clips to
DNxHD 720p/25fps at 60 Mbps
container: mov
audio: pcm_s16sle, 48kHz
(For this task I'm using a script, which I'm describing in another post: http://kdenlive.org/forum/bash-script-transcoding-avchd-clips-dnxhd )
The DNxHD specifications states the 720p@60M as a valid combination of resolution and bitrate.
(1080p/25fps@36M is even smaller, but editing 720p is a bit smoother on my machine)
Of course: This is not a real lossless transcoding. But for my eyes and my needs the quality is more than enough. Actually I hardly find any differences between original and transcoded files (But this may be due to the missing HD monitor)
I would love to transcode the audio to Vorbis, but unfortunately Vorbis is not allowed within a mov-container.
I'm searching on jamendo.com for nice background music. The files you will get from there has a sample rate of 44100 kHz, not 48000 kHz as the audio-streams in my video clips.
When adding this files to the timeline in kdenlive I encountered some strange effects: The audio-clips showed a different length, were cutted a the end or something like this. My resolution: Transcoding all clips to the WAV-format. For this task I'm using Audacity. You have to import the files and setting the project bitrate to 48000 kHz. You can import all your files at once, each one to a different track. Audacity is able to export the tracks seperately as single files.
Since all my video clips are 1280x720 now, I'm using the kdenlive profile "HD 720p 25fps".
For archiving purposes I tried the lossless settings in kdenlive, but nothing really works for me:
The ffv1 codec gives me a colorful ribbon at the bottom of the video-picture,
the huffyuv codec (or the used avi-container?) crashes my video player totem.
And even if they would work: The resulting files are far to big for me ...
Showtime again for the dnxhd codec.
I'm rendering the final project to
DNxHD 720p/25fps at 60 Mbps
container: mov
audio: pcm_s16sle, 48kHz
Which are exactly the same settings as above.
It gives me a reasonable size (13 GB for half an hour) and -- as said -- a very good quality.
For sharing the video with friends (mostly Windows users) I'm using H.264 in a MP4 container.
The best tool for that is IMHO not kdenlive (sorry for saying that) but HandBrake from handbrake.fr
I'm transcoding the DNxHD clip from the archiving step before with the "Normal" Preset in Handbrake, downscaling it to 768x432 pixel.
768x432 ...
leads to a Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1:1
has a Display Aspect Ratio of 16:9
and 768 mod 16 = 0 , 432 mod 16 = 0
As far as I understand these are good foundations for downscaling a video.
The resulting files are pretty small and have a good video quality.
Most important: The files play well on my machine, bigger resolutions don't.
Kdenlive has a good DVD wizard, but I found it helpful to tweak a bit the settings in the DVD profiles:
Instead of b=5000k and maxrate=8000k I'm using
b=8000k maxrate=9000k
These are still valid settings acording to the DVD specifications, but gives a much better video quality.
That's all folks. I'm looking forward to your comments.
Where do you have a different workflow and why?
Which tipps and tricks do you have for me?
Thanks in advance.
Fri, 11/05/2010 - 10:28
A good format (imho) for archiving purposes is mjpeg with a high quality setting, the loss is not noticable and yet the resulting file is far smaller than raw formats like y4m, huffyuv and ffv1. The drawback is that mjpeg only wants to sit in an avi container. Otherwise there is h264, which has, if you explore the command line version of x264, many tunable options, including I-frame-only encoding (like mjpeg does) and also a pure lossless setting (but with is not supported by every media application).
I don't understand why you want to achieve a pixel aspect ratio of exactly 1:1, as nearly all video codecs and containers provide signalling for the actual par, almost all video material uses a par unequal to 1:1, even DVD and 4:3 SD DVB.
For DVD "quality" it's more or less custom to use DVD resolutions, like 720x576 by 25 fps or 720x480 by 30 fps (depening on your source material). The pixel aspect ratio is slightly off 1, but it doesn't matter, it gets corrected while playing.

ISP trooper saves kids from human trafficking
Molina, 26, arrested after traffic stop
HANCOCK COUNTY, Ind. - A case of human trafficking was discovered by an Indiana State Police trooper who used his good judgment to save two children in Hancock County.
Romulo Molina, 26, of Honduras, was arrested and another man faces deportation after a traffic stop Tuesday morning, police said.
Trooper Matt Wilson pulled the men over for a traffic violation on Interstate 70. There were inconsistencies in the stories of the men and the two juveniles in the car, authorities said. Wilson said he could sense something was wrong.
"I could look at the kids in the back seat and tell that they were extremely in distress," Wilson said.
Wilson had several questions for the men and the kids and he didn't like the answers he was getting. He said things weren't adding up.
"One of the occupants said it was the driver's kids, and the driver said it was not his kids, it was some kids of a friend that he'd known. And when I had asked him who, what his friend's name was, he could not tell me because he did not know the name of the friend," Wilson said.
Police said the two juveniles, approximately 12 and 13 years old, were being held against their will. Further investigation revealed they were being taken to Columbus, Ohio to work off a debt that their family apparently owed to someone in Mexico, officials said.
Wilson said there was a language barrier with the kids as he tried to gain their trust.
"Honestly I was worried about that at first and that's why I went and bought McDonald's for them, so that they knew everything was safe. They seemed like they were malnourished kids. You could tell they were moving quite a bit. The bag of clothes I had found in the back of the vehicle was their clothes and it was still wet from where they crossed the border and went through water," Wilson said.
The two juveniles were placed in the custody of the Indiana Department of Child Services.
Molina was taken to the Hancock County Jail. The other man was released to the Department of Homeland Security Investigations and faces deportation. His identity was not released.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement relies on tips from the public to dismantle human trafficking organizations. Call ICE's tip line at 1-866-DHS-2ICE to report suspicious activity.

Hey there ertguy ... that was quite a wall at $2, gave up less resistance than your mom on prom night with a bottle of Boons Farm.
Bought 10K shares at 1.82 and 10K at 2.02 the day prior. Will sell at $2.65 sometime 1Q16.
Agreed not the way to invest. I have core shares (FNMAS, FNMA, FRE) that are 3 years old that make up my long term investment in the GSEs.
I sold some of these core shares ~2 years ago and have been generating trading income ever since. This income has change my lifestyle and allowed for additional vacations, purchase of a new vehicle and capital improvements on my home.
Thank you FNMA
I have core shares, purchased 3 years ago below $1. I sold some of these at above $4 and have been accumulating trading income ever since with that capital. I'm in this for the long run but why not take advantage of predicable patterns and trade as well right.
Will add another 10K if she drops below $2.
The patterns here are relatively predicable. Look at the chart for last three Decembers.

Is there a way to test in the simulater how it would act with the accelerometer?
The only way I can think is to create a rectangle and use the mouse click/drag.
Solved! Go to Solution.
hey daniel,
there currently is no way to test for the accelorometer at this time. hopefully it will be available in the next release. hope that clears things up. good luck!
You can create "driver" code to simulate accelerometer events. I did this for the geo location. You create a class with an array of data that you want to send to the instantiated attribute for listening to accelerometer events. In the class you define a timer event (fixed or random) to read the next element in the array, create the appropriate accelerometer event and dispatch to the attribute awaiting for those events. When you get to the end of the array, start over.
You could also randomize what gets sent to the accelerometer listener.
In my app, I have a checkbox to start and stop this driver. Production mode, I hide the checkbox so it would not get run by the user.

The Philippines Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the country's Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act, also known as the RH Law, is constitutional. The law directs government health centers to provide free access to nearly all contraceptives, including to the poor, and requires reproductive health education at government-run school for children and young adults age 10-19. The law also provides for post-abortion care.
The Court's ruling, however, was not a complete victory for women's health. The Court struck down a number of the RH Law's provisions, meaning that now health care providers may deny reproductive health services to patients in non-emergency situations based on the providers' personal or religious beliefs, spousal consent is required for married women seeking reproductive health care in non life-threatening situations, and minors will require parental consent.
President Benigno S. Aquino III signed the RH Law in December 2012, but Catholic groups immediately challenged it in court prompting the Supreme Court to halt its implementation while it decided the case.
"Today, conscience rights have prevailed, despite aggressive lobbying over the last decade and a half by the Catholic bishops and their powerful antichoice allies," said Jon O'Brien, president of Catholics for Choice. "Although not perfect, the RH Law begins to address some of the country's largest health problems – including the high maternal mortality rate – that disproportionately affect low-income women."
Opponents have 15 days to appeal the ruling.

Good 3.7 /5 from 282 reviews
Our stay was very nice. The only complaint was the shower drain. This needs to be looked at.
Excellent responsive service for any needs and directions.
Loved the hotel's location. The breakfast was disappointing however. We ended up at a local pancake house the last couple if days of our stay.
The first room we were placed in- the air didn't work and the headboard fell off the wall and was hanging. They moved us to a new room efficiently.
Decent hotel for the price. Nothing exceptional, nothing horrible. Hotel staff come across as a bit disinterested.

Mirror finish outside, machine spun finish inside. Heavy weight stainless stamped by professional machinist. I worked as a machinist and know quality when I see it. The picture shown doesn't compare to what you'll receive. Its quality hands down. The 4 piece unit is encased in thick plastic for shipping, ensuring no vibration. The box packaging was tightly stuffed with paper and the box itself was a heavy cardboard. This 4 piece unit would make a great gift for the loved ones and the price can't be beat. I'm very satisfied with it as I'm sure you will be also.
I expected the middle container to also have holes in it to let the steam through, so i can steam in both the top inserts together. But the center insert is like a regular sauce pan. I am not sure I would be able to use all 3 at a time efficiently. Also the steamer insert has a thin semicircular non removable metal strip which is supposed to serve as a handle, but i didn't find it useful as an unbalanced insert can tilt freely due to the weight of the boiled contents inside which may cause them to fall off the insert. Also I planned to use the insert to prepare some bread like steamed items by placing the dough in a flat pan inside the insert, which is very much hindered by this handle which almost always tilts the flat pan inside while steaming making the bread come out uneven thickness. The fact that the insert itself is partially rounded inside doesn't help. Apart from not meeting my specific expectations, the product looks durable.
I've had a Tramontina stainless steel set for about 8 years now and just love it. Have been wanting a steamer and was excited to find this one. Most people prefer the non-stick pans but these are so much better as you don't have to deal with the non-stick coating scraping off. The pans cook evenly, the handles stay cool so you don't get burned lifting the tops or taking a pan off the stove. Clean up is a breeze; I just put a small amount of soapy water and soak for 10-15 minutes and using a teflon sponge, the pan looks like brand new after each wash. A teflon sponge even cleans any residue on the bottoms. I love my Tramontina stainless steel set and would recommend it to anyone who loves to cook.
This a very nice steamer/double-boiler set - really, as far as I'm concerned as good as anything you'd find in a high end kitchenwares store. The one thing that I didn't notice when I ordered it was that the steamer component - the top one there in the picture - does NOT have handles. Bummer. It does have a pivoting handle that tucks inside, but I was hoping for another set of handles. And these ones are nice - they have that rubber or silicone treatment that makes them resist heat. But after mulling it over, I decided to keep it. Again, it's very nice quality, and I'll just work around the lack of handles. At least it does have sort of a "lip" that could be grabbed with pot holders. It's not perfect but close to it!
I bought this mainly for the double boiler to make custard pie filling and it is so nice to have a pan that does not burn because custard burns easily. Plus, it can be washed in the dishwasher! The steamer works great too.
I stumbled on this double boiler by accident when shopping. Thought it would be helpful for making gravies, puddings & frozen veggies etc. I love this product it is easy to use also cooks & looks fabulous(my mother even commented how nice it looks on the stove since now it is my go vessel using it most every day). Clean up is also easy (of course med low heat is the way to go) you have no idea how much better the food taste using stainless steel. K, I know how tired we are coming home from work & want to do fast & the last thing we want 2 do is scrub pots but this goes in the dishwasher love that.... also comes out really good. Oven compatible up to 350 with lid. Appearance has a shiny and clean look because 18/10 finish.
This is real good.
I make my own yogurt and the double boiler keeps the milk from scalding. Unique feature that it is a 3 quart and not the normal 2 quarts that is commonly found. Since I use it for 2 quarts of milk this is the best size. Haven't used the steamer yet, but know I will put that to good use also.
Exactly as described. I use it for making candles , soap and lip balm. Cleaning it is easier than I thought it would be considering its NOT non-stick. Love the double boiler and would indeed buy again and recommend to others.
Ordered it for site to store. Got it no dents or anything. Looks great and works well!
Great double boiler. Steamer could be bigger
It is a fairly good steamer. The 3rd vessel comes in very handy. I wish the top steamer also had side handles for lifting and pouring.Thee is metal stamp in the middle of the cool handle, which heats up while cooking. Makes lifting the vessel difficult.
I bought this because I wanted a steamer that I could trust. With this being made from 18/10 stainless steel, I can trust it to be safe (that is, toxin free, corrosion resistant - my main concerns). It is well constructed, too. Not super thin or cheap in any way. The first time I used it, I used it to steam some green beans. In 10 minutes they were done perfectly. Even my kid loved them! (He wants me to prepare him some for his school lunches. That is the first time this year that he actually stated that he wants veggies in his lunch) I would have paid the cost of this for just a steamer of this quality. The fact it can also be used as a double boiler is a huge plus. I look forward to maximizing its use in my kitchen. NOTE: I would have given it five stars except there is some weirdness going on with the lid. Each time I use it, some clear lettering appears as the steam begins to condensate on the inside. I have no idea what all of the message is because as soon as the condensation builds up to droplets, the words disappear again. They only show up when there is slight faint condensation. I have made out the phrase "Do not re-use." and the word "from." There is also a recycling symbol. It might be just an imprint left from the packaging material. If that is the case, one would think it would have been removed by the initial cleaning. On top of that, there was no packaging material on the INSIDE of the lid - which is where the lettering shows up. Just some shrink wrap/plastic on the outside. Makes me wonder about the glass lid. Other than that one issue, I am 100% satisfied with this steamer / double boiler.
Heavy duty. Gave it as a gift. A replacement for a glass one my son broke by mistake. When I said it was from Walmart she was in disbelief. I've used both the steamer and double boiler myself. I am going to purchase my own.
I bought this to use with an induction cooktop, for travel. I was looking for one pan that would be useful in a lot of ways, something lightweight, and induction-ready. This fits the bill for all those criteria. It's just the right size to make a quick meal for one or two people. For example, the pan and snug-fitting lid can be used to make rice. Then you can rinse it, and use it to sear and then braise meat; or for stir-frying, like a little wok. With the steamer insert, it is perfect for vegetables. With the double boiler, you can do chocolate fondue. I love my little multi-purpose pan!
The "Tramontina 18/10 Stainless Steel 4-Piece 3-Quart Steamer / Double-Boiler" heats fast on an electric stove top, and without warping or discoloring. Cleans-up well, and have used it over twenty times in the last 30 days without any problems with only water and mainly fresh, as well as, frozen vegetables. This works very well and will also use this for the blanching of organic garden vegetables prior to freezing into stowage.
Love having one lid that fits all 3 kettles. The triple-layered bottom on the biggest one is a real bonus and really does distribute heat more evenly. Have used the steamer basket with the middle kettle a few times now and have enjoyed having the steamed flavor of broccoli and cauliflower. The coated handles are another bonus (except the metal decal in the middle of the lid handle - which gets hot). Stainless steel seems to be of good quality. Am totally satisfied with this purchase.
It works great, is a perfect size, well constructed and more than met my expectations. After using it, I was truly amazed that I recieved such a high end product for such a low price. I can't say enough good things about it!
Have been wanting a double boiler for years. Grew up with the old skillit and pan method. Wished I had purchased one years ago. Extra value with the steamer.
I don't know about durability, as I have only had it a short time, but it looks like it should last a lifetime, with proper use. I bought it primarily to steam vegetables, but the double broiler comes in handy, too. It's made of quality 18/10 stainless steel, as are most of my pots and pans, but a little lighter in weight than some others I have. I'm glad it's a little lighter, it's easier for me to use. It's a nice size for 2 people. It was definitely worth the price!
Outstanding design and quality in cookware for induction cooktops. The double-boiler and steamer combo is perfect in a 3-quart size. Two heat-resistant silicon side handles ensure firm control when carrying the pots with food in the upper level(s). Cleans easily and stows handily. Adding this component to Tramontina's 10-piece kitchen set would greatly increase the collective value of the entire set.

Mauricio Lopez, Valley Road Rage Hit-&-Run Suspect, Arrested
Cops believe a motorist who cut off a pickup truck in traffic ended up in the hospital, possibly as a result of the pickup driver running him over in a fit of road rage.
On top that, the driver of the GMC Sonoma didn't stop, turning a collision into a case of felony hit-and-run, according to the LAPD. Now the driver of said truck is behind bars, cops say:
It happened Sunday about 3:25 p.m. when the motorcycle "abruptly conducted a lane change in front of the pick-up truck" as both headed north on Vineland Avenue near Morrison Street in North Hollywood, according to an LAPD statement.
View Larger Map
The white pickup collided with the bike, severely injuring its rider, according to the LAPD. The driver took off, cops alleged:
The driver of the pick-up truck was followed by a witness. The driver left the pick-up abandoned and fled on foot.

The 44-year-old victim from North Hollywood was in stable condition at a hospital, police said.
The department last night said the collision was a case of "road rage," but when we asked Officer Bruce Borihahn if detectives believe the truck driver hit the biker on purpose, he said, "We don't know if he hit him on purpose or not."
A suspect, identified as 39-year-old Mauricio Lopez of Sun Valley, was tracked down and arrested yesterday on suspicion of felony hit-and-run and jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail, the LAPD says.

The head of energy company Royal Dutch Shell said on Tuesday that U.S. policymakers should lift the crude oil export ban because allowing the shipments would make global energy system more stable.
"Policy makers here in the U.S. should embrace a truly liberalized diverse and global energy market," Shell CEO Ben van Beurden told a conference on energy at Columbia University. U.S. oil and natural gas exports "would reinforce the long term future of North American energy production," significantly improve the U.S. balance of trade, and "help to make the global energy system much more stable," he said.
The United States has banned oil exports since the 1970s Arab oil embargo, but pressure on the Obama administration and on Congress to overturn the ban has risen amid the domestic shale energy boom of the last several years. Washington has approved several applications to export natural gas with the first shipments expected next year.

Canon HF200 HD camcorder
Canon's Legria HF200 is a flash memory-based high-definition camcorder
- 8GB SD card included in sales package, reasonable price, external microphone jack
- Low-light performance isn't impressive, didn't deliver the leap in video quality we were hoping for
Bottom Line
The Canon Legria HF200 is a solid HD camcorder that boasts some useful, no-nonsense features. While there are better camcorders on the market, it does a great job for the asking price.
Price$ 1,399.00 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 3 stores)
- Canon HF-R706 Black High Definition Camcorder 293.00
- Canon LEGRIA HF-R706 White High Definition Camc... 293.00
The Canon Legria HF200 is a midrange high-definition camcorder for videographers on a budget. It records AVCHD video to SD/SDHC memory cards, which is swiftly becoming the dominant video format in the consumer market.
While it's not the best HD video camera we've seen, the Canon Legria HF200 provides good image quality and a decent set of features for the asking price. Serious users will be especially impressed by the inclusion of an external microphone jack; something that most midrange units lack. Otherwise, there is nothing particularly noteworthy about the Canon Legria HF200 — it does its job well and keeps the gimmicks to a minimum.
So why removable flash memory? We've reeled off the benefits of flash memory–based camcorders many times in the past, but in a nutshell: they're quieter, smaller and more energy efficient than all other video formats — including HDD. It's no coincidence that most vendors are phasing out their hard disk–based models in favour of flash memory. (Canon currently offers 12 flash memory camcorders, compared to precisely zero HDD models — the writing's on the wall.)
The Canon Legria HF200 can be viewed as a more affordable alternative to the Canon HF20. It lacks the HF20's 32GB inbuilt memory, which means you're forced to use the SD card slot at all times (an 8GB SD card is included in the sales package). Otherwise, the Canon HF200 is virtually identical to its big brother — even the dimensions are the same. Highlights include a 15x optical zoom lens, a 3.31-megapixel 1/4in CMOS sensor, Full HD 1080p recording, a maximum AVCHD bit rate of 24 megabits per second (24Mbps) and the afore-mentioned 3.1mm microphone jack.
If you're serious about video, the inclusion of external audio is not to be underestimated; most sub-$1500 camcorders remove this output as a matter of course. The benefits of a 24Mbps bit rate are considerably less obvious, though we suppose it's good to have the 'best' — even if the difference is barely perceptible.
Compared to Canon's high-end offerings, the HF20 didn't exactly knock our socks off and the Legria HF200 is in the same unfortunate boat. While there's nothing especially wrong with its video performance, it lacks the marked leap in quality we have come to expect from each new generation. In fact, when compared to 2008's Canon HF11, it could be argued that the HF200 has actually taken a turn for the worse. For one thing, the Canon HF11 had a larger 1/3in CMOS sensor that did a good job of combating noise. The Legria HF200 seemed to have a tougher time in our low-light tests, with grainy footage ruling the day.
But we're being a bit unfair here. When compared to almost any non-Canon camcorder on the market, the Legria HF200 acquits itself incredibly well. Colours were rich and vibrant; especially in optimum lighting, while images remained consistently sharp throughout testing. With a Full HD resolution of 1080p, the Canon Legria HF200 is tailor-made for playback on HDTV. We previewed our footage on a and didn't notice any obvious aberrations. Provided you stick to natural daylight, the Legria HF200 will rival almost anything on the market.
Canon has also seen fit to include a stills mode, but at 3 megapixels, its output is barely suitable for regular-sized prints. If you're looking for a hybrid device, you'll need to plum for something a little more expensive, such as the 10-megapixel Sony HDR-SR12E . (For what it's worth, the auto mode did a good job of keeping things focused and properly exposed.)
The Canon Legria HF200 comes with a reasonable array of options for hands-on users. Shutter speed, exposure and aperture (from f/1.8 to f/8.0) can all be adjusted manually. For menu navigation, Canon has doggedly stuck to a miniature joystick; located on the outer lip of the LCD. We feel it's only a matter of time before Canon succumbs to the lure of the touch screen, so if you prefer a traditional interface — get it while you still can!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

A fire hose was a pump used to extinguish fire primarily with water.
In 2259 of the alternate reality, Commander James T. Kirk grabbed a fire hose at Starfleet Headquarters, wrapped it around his phaser rifle and threw it at Jumpship 208, piloted by Khan Noonien Singh. The hose and the rifle, as well as the cabinet housing the hose, were taken in by 208's exhaust manifold and the ship was destroyed. (Star Trek Into Darkness)

I came at 3:30 because that is the time on that shows for the event. Looks like the reservation was made for 2:30 and when I got here I couldn't find anybody. Of course, I am new and don't know what anybody looks like so I might be mistaken. I hope to catch the next one. Bummer.

Great hand and snake piece!
Once upon a time...
...when I lived in France, I was out walking one day and came across a very old ruin - a chateau. The chateau walls were still intact but the interior, roof and any decorative elements had long since disappeared. I went home and asked about the chateau, and was told it once belonged to the family of Talaru. On further research I found that this family existed in France right back to Medieval times, and possibly before. The name always stuck in my mind, and when it came time to open my shop on Etsy, it seemed fitting to choose the name 'Talaru' for this online repository of antique French treasures.
Why antique jewelry?
I am sure that at some time in the past, a person was holding a piece of jewelry that I now own, and they were wondering what would become of this piece. Maybe they asked themselves would it last through the decades and centuries, would someone love and appreciate it as much as they did, what would the person (and indeed, the world) be like at that future point in time?
I write this because I often imagine the reverse - who once owned this brooch, this necklace, this pendant? Where did they get it, what did it mean to them. Who is that person in the photo, whose lock of hair has been carefully encased in this sentimental treasure? What was their home like, was it warm outside, did the air smell different? What did they eat and were they happy?
The items of jewelry I sell evoke many questions, and it is for the new owner to create some answers - to add another chapter to the story, so to speak.
I only offer for sale items which I would be happy to own myself. Indeed, there is a lot that does not make it to my shop, and some of these pieces can be seen in the designs I offer at L'Atelier de Talaru, my antique assemblage jewelry shop.
I mainly sell French antique items - I find that the market for French antique jewelry (mainly costume or everyday jewelry) is strong and emerging, so there is an opportunity to make an impact on others through bringing these beautiful adornments to market.
I love France and have a long history of association with the country, from my first visit there in the early 1990s, to living there in the late 1990s. I still manage to get back there every 2nd year or so, and I have many good contacts who offer me their delightful finds to sell in my shop.
So...sit back, think of the past and browse through the online bijouterie of La Comtesse de Talaru.
JOIN ME on social media. I am active daily on Instagram and Pinterest - where I share behind the scenes insights and snippets from daily life, as well as designs, inspiration and my popular 'what I'm wearing today' snapshots.
Shop members
Melanie Dooley
Owner, Curator, Sourcing
By day I work as a marketing & communications manager for an innovative technology company. By night I curate this shop and make assemblage jewelry to sell at my other shop. I live with my partner and poodle in sub-tropical Brisbane, Australia.
Shop policies
It is a pleasure and a delight to offer you beautiful and interesting antique treasures for your personal collection or for you to create your own heirloom adornments.
A lot of my business comes from designers who re-purpose these old treasures into new wearable jewelry works of art. Look up 'antique assemblage' on Etsy to see some of this wonderful work.
La Comtesse de Talaru also attracts those interested in collecting antique jewlery and decorative arts. I am drawn to high quality, unusual and scare items and love the opportunity to share them with you.
I spend a lot of time visiting auctions, flea markets and dealing with trusted vendors to find inspirational pieces, particularly for jewelry designers.
I have created an exclusive range of recast antique jewelry components - beautiful elements that you can use in your own designs. I offer the best quality recast silver components on Etsy. Please check my policies for usage rights with recast items.
Accepted payment methods
- Accepts Etsy gift cards
I am happy to reserve any item valued at over $100. I require a 20% non-refundable deposit and full payment within 2 months. I am flexible as to the payment terms - you can pay small amounts weekly, or larger amounts monthly. We can discuss your needs at the time.
All items ship from Brisbane Australia.
I go to the post office every weekday, and sometimes also on Saturdays when demand requires. From the time you pay for your item, I usually pack within 24 hours and ship the next business day. This ensures your order will arrive as quickly as possible.
If you have an urgent need for your order please get in touch as there are options for expedited shipping to guarantee arrival to most parts of the world within one week. If you check my feedback you will see overwhelming satisfaction from customers on the quick delivery of their purchase, despite coming from remote Australia.
Once I have packed your item and it has been posted I will send you a shipping notification through Etsy. Typical transit times within Australia are up to one week, though Express Post often guarantees overnight delivery. To the UK/Europe & USA packages generally arrive within 10-14 days.
Any items or group of items valued at over US$100 must be shipped with online tracking - each listing reflects this policy in the shipping fees charged.
Postage prices include careful packing and protection of your precious items. I reserve the right to apply a service fee in my shipping cost in cases where exceptional services are required, such as couriers or fragile items needing more care with packing. These packages require much more work than a standard package.
Refunds and Exchanges
Any items that you want to return for this reason must be notified to me within 7 days of receiving them. If you hold the item for any longer I assume that you have used and 'enjoyed' the item(s) and it is considered a case of 'change of mind', which I do not refund for.
I do not refund original or return shipping fees. Any refund due will not be paid until the item has been returned to me in a satisfactory condition, as it was when I shipped it to you.
In general, repairs in lieu of refund are not viable or practical, and my policy is to offer a full refund even if you think an item can be repaired. If you want to repair ti, you need to keep it.
Other than the above, all sales are final and if you change your mind or did not read the item description, I cannot offer a refund. I will readily and accurately answer any questions you have prior to purchase, so please make contact me should you need clarification on any details.
I research the items I sell and where possible and practical verify any pertinent facts that might affect your purchase decision. I will never describe anything as antique or vintage if I know it is not so. If I have doubts about any item, I will either remove it from my store or not list it in the first place.
The photographs and the text constitute the full description of the item. Any information provided in Etsy convo adds to this body of information.
I have many years experience dealing in antique French and religious jewelry - I hope therefore that I or my trusted suppliers can discover the answers to any questions you might have about the item you are interested in, either before or after the purchase.
I will always present a detailed description in each listing to the best of my knowledge, and if any item has what might reasonably be deemed as flaws, marks or faults, I will describe them accurately. I am always happy to supply more photos or information if you feel you need it. Just send me a convo request and I'll be happy to oblige.
Do bear in mind that the majority of the items I sell are vintage or antique - some can be up to 400 years old. Normal wear and tear are to be expected, and indeed can be seen as a feature of an antique item.
Additional policies and FAQs
My recast components are offered for sale on the basis that you will use them in your own designs for personal use or sale. Purchase of these components does not confer rights to reproduce these elements. I offer reasonable prices for high quality reproductions so you can afford to purchase as many pieces as you need for your design activities. Many of my recast pieces are hand created by me - just as if I painted a work of art. Please respect my originality and do not copy my components. I do offer wholesale prices for quantities of 10 or more recast pieces - I am happy to provide this pricing should you wish for a bulk purchase.
