Several are nice, some not at all my taste (the queen of pearls ...) but the one i like the best is the astrolab
Yea, not liking the pearl thing too much either, nor the mushroom (I have never bought one), twisted bamboo (blends in too much and is too one sided), the cozy dozen (boring), shard of Tull, the fire statue and several of the limited decorations (loved the hearts!!)
I thought the pond was a reference to Doctor Who's sidekick, Amelia Pond? Is her name a Arthurian reference?
I never followed Dr. Who, so the reference on the name was lost on me. The Arthurian reference is to the Lady of the Lake from whom/where Arthur received Excalibur: "Tradition holds that they are leaving it vacant for the lady Ami'Lya who will appear at this pond and call forth a great leader in time of need, though no one is sure who."
Does that quote from the decoration blurb make sense in the context of Dr. Who?

Yes, that quotation makes perfect sense for both. I knew about the lady of the lake in Arthurian tales, but I hadn't known she was given a name. In Doctor Who, the story arc involving Amelia Pond does bring forth a great leader in time of need, Doctor Who, who comes out of the shadows more than ever and fights a sort of galactic/temporal battle. Obviously, the 'no one is sure *who* is a reference to Doctor *Who*.

On second thought then, the Arthurian reference is probably just an accident. I still dig the pond though.

It is possible that the Dr Who kids are referencing the tales of King Arthur, thereby tieing everything together quite nicely.
My fave is the Butterfly Pavilion. I love stained glass and the internal illumination is really pretty.
