The Question: What is your favorite cephalopod?
The Goodies: One copy of Blameless by Gail Carriger and The Old Ones necklace from Cemetery Cat Jewelry.
Queen Victoria dismisses her from the Shadow Council, and the only person who can explain anything, Lord Akeldama, unexpectedly leaves town. To top it all off, Alexia is attacked by homicidal mechanical ladybugs, indicating, as only ladybugs can, the fact that all of London's vampires are now very much interested in seeing Alexia quite thoroughly dead.
While Lord Maccon elects to get progressively more inebriated and Professor Lyall desperately tries to hold the Woolsey werewolf pack together, Alexia flees England for Italy in search of the mysterious Templars. Only they know enough about the preternatural to explain her increasingly inconvenient condition, but they may be worse than the vampires -- and they're armed with pesto.
The Old Ones
How To Enter: To be entered to win Blameless and The Old Ones: answer The Question.A large sterling silver over brass octopus is framed by beautiful and unusual faceted tourmalated quartz beads.

+1 Well it might not be very original but I've always found the Octopus the weirdest/coolest thing out there. Of course I'm also still a bit traumatized because I remember my uncle making Octopus salad when I was young and it was horrible!!! lol

Though I did love the depiction of the Kraken by Tamora Pierce in Wild Magic. Unapologetically evil. No pretending to be all inky and innocent.

Question: I'd have to say that my favorite is the giant squid. Ever since I saw a drawing of a giant squid trying to take a ship down, I've been fascinated. And I loved reading Twenty thousand leagues under the sea!!
