Mini Work, No....Gem Show, Go!

OK This is what the cottage looked like when I got up this morning...It still looks like that now...

We went to the gem show again today.  I didn't get to look enough when we went the first time.  Too much talking and having fun with Amare and April.

Poor cottage....
This is my stash from today.  Two more strands of the coral.  A huge rope of turquoise nuggets and various other strands.  The two pendants and the turquoise donut were Valentine presents from Walter.

It will be turned into jewelry over the next 12 months...Then back to the next gem show and start again... Most of the strands were a dollar a piece.  A few two dollars. The top coral and the turquoise were the most expensive....Three dollars a strand.  And you wonder why I wanted to go back for a second time....

 As soon as Tessie saw the pile, she started grabbing.  Her main item of interest was a string of Evil Eye beads.  I am not sure if she thinks that they will protect her or she thinks that she can do evil things with them...  I am not waiting to find out... They are soon going to disappear.
I forgot to tell you.  When we got home, this was what I saw in the bedroom... Tessie inside Zar's den and Zar on top of Zar's den...

I could hear him shouting through the glass..."I told you it would work!".

It seems that while we were away, he devised an alteration in the wrist bands for Daisy's house.  They now also work in his den.

I think that the cuffs are going to have to disappear. Soon he will have them working in any mini structure in our house...I should never have let them wear the cuffs outside of Daisy's house.  She warned me.

Maybe I can distract the Terrible Two with pretty beads and tell them that they have to take the cuffs off to look at the beads... Sure....That will work....Maybe....

See you tomorrow.

Lovely beads. You will have a lot of fun creating beautiful pieces with them! Never a boring moment with Casey and Zar. And Spike is the observer!

Lucille, I had absolutely nothing to do with Zar's escapade today! It was all Tessie! I was with Spike, observing...LOL

Interesting to see green evil eye beads - they usually just come in blue. There are plenty here in Dubai, along with the obligatory tourist souvenirs such as key chains, wall hangings etc.

Lene, at the gem shoe here, I imagine that you could find evil eye beads in every color of the rainbow if you looked hard enough. There was even brown and yellow ones where I got the green ones...made in China.

Forgot to say, I prefer the blue ones, but by the time I got there, they were gone, or they never had them.
