Some damage is being done, I must admit :grin:

Yes, damage is happening! But taking a break and watching the dances!

Well, isn’t “damage” the point @tepowell & @Ziacat,:grin:. I know just seeing the art and visiting with artist is part of the experience, but I’m glad damage is being done and am excited to see the results! Always good to take a break Zia. All the visual stimulation can be overwhelming!

Thinking of you guys today too and hope everyone is having fun! Despite reading this entire thread it didn’t occurred to me that the World Cup game I’m going to today would also have a clear bag policy. Luckily I held on to this one that one of my horses blankets came in. It’ll do!

What fun OO! Now I’ll have to show this to my husband…I tend to occasionally hold onto packaging “Just in case”; he steals my stash and throws it away! You never know when it could come in handy!

Nice variety @tepowell!

Very cool stuff, although I already drooled over your pieces (my gosh, the Lita necklace), and love them. I was tempted by one of Milford’s kitty cat rings, but it was a bit too big - BTW is it turquoise in the bottom of your cat earrings, and do you know what the top stones are? And of course I love your Mary piece. So nice that she won another award!

I will post my stuff eventually, but I’m getting ready to drive home. It was fun to see everybody. I got to say hi to @Ravenscry and @TAH, but it was so nice to spend some wonderful quality time with @chicfarmer and @tepowell; thank you ladies! Since I was on my own it was lovely to have company. I’ve gone there other times by myself and still loved it, but it was more fun to share my jewelry passion (obsession?) with you gals! Everybody safe travels, and @tepowell we will see if you manage to do any more shopping tomorrow :laughing:
