A. P.'s finished brooch!
Unfortunately I still haven't gotten the camera set up correctly, so the red rubies look pink. It's a nice piece. Pat made an adaptor so it can also be worn as a pendant. He's going to have a lot of Fun with this lovely surprise!
Pat was test wearing Shooting Stars.
Laurel asked if she could have it for the store. The next day K. K., one of our first serious Collectors, came in and fell in love with it!
We met up with Nancy and Norman L. Nancy was able to articualte what it was that had been bothering me about our second Reflections pendant. (Which is a Big Help!) We had a nice lunch, in a restaurant whose name I've forgotten, literally sitting over a creek! Then we went onto to "Swamp North", their family's cabin on the edge of the National Forest. We spent a wonderful afternoon talking and relaxing while listening to the creek.
I forgot to photograph them, but, Pat had re-strung two gorgeous turquoise necklaces for Nancy. We made a new traditional-style clasp for the stunning squash blossom that had been her Mother's. Nancy put it on while still wearing the beautiful Black Opal Ancient Seas pendant we had made for her Birthday and Anniversary last year.
At the time we hadn't even seen her squash blossom necklace . . . What is so amazing is that both pieces have essentially the same design!!! And they really look like they were made to go together!
We missed meeting up with Marina P. and David when they came to town. I'm hoping we still can so we can engrave her Heart of the Mountain pendant. (We signed it but forgot to engrave it's name before it went to Bellagio Art to Wear!)
We also made it to Painter's Greenhouse for their first Open House and Sale! Our big project this Spring will be putting in a rock garden on the hillside beside the steps and the wild lilly/foxglove/columbine/iris bed. So, of course, we loaded up on sedums!
Something tells me we're going to need a lot more plants . . .
