Well the pic shows the damage you can do in a half hour feeding frenzy at a sale when you remember the unused Credit Card :-)
This was only a small portion of my total buy, but I've spent today going though every piece and there are some beauties. Best of all, everything is at least half the normal price ! Our policy has always been to buy the best we can and charge a decent price, so our savings are passed on to you.
Larimar ~ some huge pieces. Chryoprase, Mangano Calcite, Seraphinite, Lapis, Blue Lace, Prehnite, Moonstone, Black Onyx and more. Best of all a couple of Blue Kyanite crystals...
Hi Everyone. Well, buying is work but fun ~ but now our Apt in Bangkok is like a little Factory. Nicha in her office makes tons of beaded Jewellery, me in the lounge on the endless task of processing all the other Jewellery. We bought so much ! Usually I'm OCD on prices as I buy, but this time I pretty much just chose what I liked. Following the Heart usually works out well, especially when you brought that spare credit card . . . . .
Stunning Azurite/Malcahite/Chrysocolla from a new source ~ the Morenci Mine in USA. More Tourmalines ~ yes, Watermelon, also some fabulous vibrant Rubellite ...
Nearly finished now and happy to report I've bought a massive amount of new stock, a big restock of sold out items plus some nice stones we've not had before. Also a bunch of my own designs ( Raw Imperial Topaz and Tourmaline rings, Raw Kunzite pendants with Herkimers, Raw Crystal points with Watermelon Tourmaline ...... )
So right now I'm feeling rather happy. Especially since I've encountered so many obstacles for this trip ! A few weeks before departure I tripped over a kerb and broke a bone in my hand which meant wearing a cast. I tried to pack light, but struggling through Melbourne A...
Hi Everyone. Hope you're all doing well and enjoying the positive energies floating around ~ even though they're so often occluded by the daily barrage of negative news ! I crashed out on the couch after work, no TV book or laptop, suddenly realised ~ wow, I'm relaxed ! Hence the pic, to remind myself that actually gazing out of a window, doing and thinking nothing, is as important as all the daily doing :-)
So it's nice to get back into the uploads ~ and interesting to see how they've changed too. Up until recently it was a case if racing the clock to get as much up as quickly as possible....
Yes, next Thursday will be the shortest day of the year ! Yay ! Then the days slowly get longer and ( hopefully a bit warmer.) well, for all of us down under in the Southern Hemisphere of course as this is our Winter Solstice.
In times past this was a much more important celebration. The return of Summer was not a foregone conclusion. Just perhaps, Winter would stay forever ! In that case, definitely you’d celebrate with a genuine sense of relief when you saw the Summer Sun was slowly stirring and thinking about getting up earlier :-)
Really the Winter Solstice is the start of the New Year,...
Hi everyone and hope you're all keeping well.
Gilding the Back of the Buddha is a lovely saying from Thailand. It's actually to do with Charity. Some people want everyone to know they've donated and want it up front for all to see. The truly charitable, however, gild the back of the Buddha, not the front, because to them the act of donation is it's own reward.
Crystal Heart, of course, is more of a commercial Temple :-) but still I've been totally occupied in behind the scenes stuff rather than new uploads.
