Hahahah true!

Anyone know of shows that come to Raleigh or the triangle area?

 

[CathyKeshi]

LOL, Battah ... no weirder than the rest of us, I'm sure! I'll happily meet you at Chantilly if we're going to be in the area; it would be fun Once or twice, I've seen a strand or 2 of really nice Tahitians at the Intergem shows, but seldom ... very seldom. I've bought keshi and freshwater; nice but not the best. More to practice with or make decent gifts from. Nothing beats our vendors here!

 

[battah]

Agreed, great stuff for fun projects, but the quality doesn't compare to our vendors here. Well, let's touch base when the august show gets closer! I live in the area so it's easy for me to pop over there.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Battah, I'd love to, but doubtful I'll make that August show. We have a wedding to attend in West Virginia, and we're taking the vintage travel trailer over to WVA for the entire weekend. I'm sure there'll be another show later in the fall; Chantilly is a popular stop for Intergem. Hubby Walter's cousins live 10 minutes from the expo center, and our daughter used to live in Chantilly, so it's "home" territory for us.

so adorable!

I love the way you wear that necklace with the babies right up front. You're sure to get a lot of attention - so cute!

 

[SunSeeker]

Battah, CathyKeshi - I'm about 30 mins from Dulles and often go the Integem shows. Let me know if/when you plan to go and maybe we could meet!

 

[CathyKeshi]

Will do, SunSeeker I live 4 hours away, but get there quite often thanks to the relatives.

 

[battah]

Sounds great, ladies! We can have a mini-ruckus

 

[Icyjade]

I love your necklace! It's so different n fun to wear. How else do you style the rope?

 

[battah]

Thank you, Icy jade! It's fun to wear. I posted some pics in the beaders club forum, let me find you the link.
