Fun on Friday: The Woman with Gold Hands

For this installment of Fun on Friday, I was planning on telling you all about a $9,000 ball of yarn. But this morning, I found something even better.
OK, since I brought it up, I have to tell you about the yarn. This runs along the same lines as the $185 paper clip I told you about over the summer. This ball of yarn is made from pure silver.
Now, this would be pretty cool if you could knit a silver quilt or a pair of silver socks out of it. But you can’t. It just sits on your table. You do get the pleasure of saying, ‘I spent 9 grand on a ball of yarn.’ So there is that.
Tiffany & Co. sells the silver yarn ball as part of its ‘everyday objects’ collection. ‘The Everyday Objects collection transforms utilitarian items into handcrafted works of art,’ according to the company website.
I love the description they used to describe the yarn ball. Imagine an NPR reporter saying this, maybe with some jazz in the background.
