I'd like to be inside at a Gem Show today. But then again, it's rainy, cool, and overcast here in VA.

is it? I'm heading back home to MD on Monday...

I'd give up the sun for a gem show (it may be sunny, but there's a cold wind blowing)

Here near Charlottesville it is.

I wish it'll snow once before winter is over I missed all the blizards...

Three days without power was NOT fun.

well, we really didn't get any snow here on the west coast this year.

awww I herd, luckily my parents stayed on for once...

I'm planning a summer tour to the westside. It's been soo long. I miss it out there.

Even our 911 phone system was out.

I want to hit the slopes before spring fully springs!

oh no..

keep us west coasters informed!

Do you hit Richmond or Charlottesville gem shows?

No, but I can.

Charlottesville is tiny, from what I understand. Richmond's isn't bad. But I haven't been in years.

Approximately 4. Since I had Da Boys.

Actually this is a trunk show. I can't do most shows, because I supply vendors, so I can't do the shows. I'm doing a private trunk show

for a friend

for a friends bead shop.

Ahhh.... Okay.

Gotcha.

Cool! And how very nice for your friend's cuctomers!

I do house calls though and your more than welcome to visit me at my house in MD.

customers...sheesh I do wish my fingers would behave themselves!

lol yes, I have naughty fingers too. Never want to listen..

Azillion here has out local seed bead guy in about once a month.

the economy was good so Eugene upgraded his retail space & a year later the economy crashed & he had to give up his storefront

awww....

Where in MD. My BIL and SIL live in Ellicott City.

Or near there, anyway.

lol

I *might* be able to arrange something.

I have to take the comment about the wind back-it's died down & is lovely out!

So?? How's it going? Are you selling lots?

If you see Sammie, tell her I'm sorry but I can't come.

My Dad's cabinet factory is in ellicot city. I'm in Bowie, only 25 mins from there.... I would love for you to come.
