post randomcon

We had an illustrious time at RandomCon! We were reacquainted with old friends and made new acquaintences, which will in turn, become old friends. The youngsters enjoyed the video game room, and the old board games like, “Apples to Apples”, “Yahtzee”, “Dominoes”, and “Conflict.” Matt, Espy, Lorena and Duncan were privileged to play “Tunnels and Trolls”, with its inventor, Ken St. Andre (Kenstandre@yahoo.com) . Also, we were fortunate to meet Todd VanHooser (www.toddvanhooser.com) and watch his role playing game, “The Laughing Moon Chronicles”, based on his epic books. This is sure to be a successful series based on the enthusiasm of the gamers. During all this mayhem, we took a break and joined an enthusiastic group to preview upcoming movies. This will be a spectacular season for adventure, thrills, and comedies! Matt brought his own handcrafted pieces for “Settlers of Catan”, and was, himself, ardently received. Thanks to people like Bob, Susan, Craig, Gary, and Ric (www.FlyingBuffalo.com), the convention was friendly and invigorating.

March

Well, I did update the website, but it is a constantly changing creature with its ever increasing need for my attention.
New this month, we have updated our vintage jewelry page... sorry, we have been cleaned out of our posted jewelry - yeah:) this is a good thing, as new ideas mean new adornments!! Email us with your requests!! We love getting them.

March 14th we will be at the 2009 St. Patric's Day Faire and Parade.

I am tossing the idea around of putting a birthday cake idea page on the website..... time, time, time.. I wish there was another me!!!

January

Well, it's the new year!! What a beginning. Unfortunately, I didn't get to post January's events as we got so dang busy that I just didn't get to it. So, we had the Gem and Mineral Show (which was fun- it was hard to keep our profits because there was such cool stuff there, but we managed) and coming in February we have the Highland Games in Phoenix. Should be a blast. We hope to see some old faces and learn some new ones:)

Now for updating the website!!!! I'm getting to it. Hope to have it done by February.

December

December is a crazy month. We have been so busy!! The shopping season has started and we are not complaining:)

We met so many nice people at The Way Out West Bird Show. Lots to do and see there:) And we made some new customers.

We had a wonderful time at the Greenfield Holiday Boutique. Lots of nice people with good taste in jewelry!!

Coming up this month....

We have a Car Show December 13th.
(will post more information as I get it)

For all you who have been asking if we will be planning to attend more of shows, we have decided to wait till January to attend any more so that we may get ready for the holidays ourselves:)
February will be huge and we do have a couple lined up for January.

Sorry for all of you who have been shopping off the website. We have been tremendously busy and I just haven't finished updating our website and much of our jewelry has sold out. I will be updating in the next few days to put up new and take off the old. Thanks so much for your understanding. Keep in mind that we have a large inventory and that we probably have something for any occasion -ask us what you are looking for and will find it (we can email a picture-it's much quicker than posting it on the web). If you've seen something from one of our shows that you are interested in, email us to see if it is still available, even if it isn't, we might have something similar. Thanks again for your understanding.
