Ok, update on the Gathering bead bazaar and conference. Amazing. So much fun and we sold a ton of stuff. Awesome! Mark and I made it into a little vacation and stayed in the Seattle area for another week. It was beautiful, the weather was great and we just loved the area.
I treated myself to one extravagance while I was there. A tool. A beautiful, fabulous tool made in Italy by a master lampwork toolmaker. It's the Carlo Dona bellflower press. I love that thing. It was ridiculously expensive. I will have to sell a million of these flowers to pay for the darn thing but I figured, wth. It's a business expense, right? Oh, and by the way, I have actually made a million of these flowers so ...
Oh and now I am also making some kitties.
And there's always the murrini and silver glass calling my name...
But we will save that for next time...
