High Winds in Columbus on Sunday!

Hi. :) I had wanted to post this earlier (last night), but our hotel had no power or internet connection due to high winds!


Hello to Eileen from the wind shelter and hello also to the couple who helped us with our tent! A HUGE thank you goes to Michelle, of Stella Shows, for her help in getting us to our taxi. In spite of the tornado-like ending, I loved this show. Stella Shows people are wonderful! They are good Samaritans and they treat people right. We had good experiences with the Country Living folks, too. It was a great show for us.

We had a particularly nice time yesterday with three women: (left to right) Tara, Tina (mom) and Nicole. Here they are, wearing their pendants that they bought from me.


Something funny had happened the day before with Nicole. She was trying on the Circle Quarter Pendant and, when I handed her the mirror, I told her that she had a really nicely shaped head. There were about 15 people in front of the booth at that moment, and, thinking on her feet, she said something along the lines of “I have been waiting such a long time for someone to notice!” Everyone laughed (I probably laughed the loudest). Thanks for the fun conversations (not to mention the tip about the chocolate covered frozen cheesecake), girls!

Speaking of funny things, someone said something today that I cannot believe I hadn’t either thought of or heard before (we have been doing this business for 10 years). A woman was deciding between the Indian Nickel Pendant and the Buffalo Nickel Pendant (two sides of the same coin). She asked her guy what he thought, and he suggested, with a chuckle, that she “flip a coin.” I LOVE THAT!

I have three jewelry pictures for you today. The first is what we call the Mother and Child Necklace. It’s a Heart Dollar and a Heart Dime, together on one chain.



Here’s the display of silver dollar pendants: Circle, Circle Dot, Sunflower, Push-out, Daisy, Lady and Heart.



Here’s a rare and fun thing, the puzzle necklace. I cut the five pieces out of two half dollars. Each piece has an interesting coin image on at least one side. All five pieces make the square pictured. If you take out the tiny square, you can make a different square from the remaining four pieces, as well as lots of other shapes (like a Tangrams game).



This coming weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday), we’ll be at Lyndhurst in Tarrytown, NY. If you’ve read the blog, please let me know. I’m pretty excited about it. :)
