While she worked on covering a terra cotta pot with polished stones, i made a few earrings and DH learned how to polish (on his buddy's polishing machine) and wire wrap stones!! it was really FUN!! we will surely be doing that again!! They asked us to come over since they are getting ready for local gem show that is quickly approaching! they already have a booth paid for in advance and asked if we had anything we can sell. so we are trying to get a few items together to get money for the REAL FUN that will be coming up in Jan. / Feb. Quartzsite (scroll down a bit to see the shows ground photo to just ONE of the shows!!)
i can hardly wait to go to this Arizona show! We have gone to the local gem show, last year & LOVED it and this show in AZ is WAYYYYYYY bigger and cheaper! i am so excited about it! :)
Anyways, back home and the FUN we had this past weekend! hehe
We picked up this skull for DS.
this photo of three glass & foiled plates doesn't do them justice. they are really LOVELY!
same with these next two dresses. these photos just don't do them any justice.
this black dress is totally AWESOME, with some bead designs on it!
This FUN lot was only three dollars and includes a jade rock, a node rock, along with three bracelets, a cross and a heart photo locket!! BARGAIN! :D
i could hardly resist this BEAUTY!!
i also found more ephemeral and because DH bought something from our book guy, he gave these to me! :)
and last, i found another FUN pair of shades for just two dollars!
Goodness how we LOVE that swapmeet! it was too funny today when we were at our friend's place, another friend of hers stopped in and asked where i got the top that i was wearing, and i had to laugh and said the swapmeet... then not to long later, she asks about the rings i had on and got the same response! lol i REALLY have filled my life with things from there! AWESOME things, too!
Well, i am just HAPPY to have that swapmeet since we really didn't have a decent thrift store or dollar store in our area for a long time... only recently, (within the past year or two) a COOL dollar store moved in downtown.
What are some of the things YOU like to do? i would LOVE to hear it! Cause i LOVE when you visit ME! :) Thanks so very much for sharing this time!! have an AWESOME evening!! HUGS!! And i will see you in the morning! :D

Oh, I have heard of Quartzsite! From all over, RVers go there and campers too...it is SO hot in the summer but in winter it is lovely. I bet the gem show will be great! I think they have a lot of carnelian you can find out there, too.
I can't wire-wrap but I hear it is very fun. I have seen some really pretty rings and things from wirewrapping.
Hmmm..what do I like to do? Well, today, I did two "fun" things! One was clean up a whole cup of coffee spilled on the computer desk by a cat!!! Oh joy! And the other was "pick up the beads." I forgot the cell phone had a magnet in its little carrying case, and it somehow PICKED UP a whole washcloth where I had my tools and a lot of little beads paired off, and onto the floor they all went...bounce bounce bounce bouncy beads...LOL...
Good Morning Shirley:)
