Richard Homer in Berkeley

[kimikocat]

Hello...

I got a postcard in the mail yesterday from Pave Fine Jewelry, a jeweler in Berkeley, California. Richard Homer is going to visit their store. I have no relationship with Pave, just thought maybe y''all might find it interesting... I think you have to RSVP for this event. I can''t remember all the details, but they do have info on their site:

Yes, that is the whole idea. I attended one of these events in Minneapolis last fall, and wrote about it here. Link

It is a lot of fun if you can make it. There is no pressure to buy and you learn a lot.

Flygirl--

Now I''m thinking about going to this! Any other Bay Area PSers want to go?

I don''t have the budget for anything on this scale right now. I''d just be windowshopping.

They would still love to have you.

I didn''t buy anything from Richard Homer, but I did decide a number of months later to have the store owner and designer make me the pendant in my avatar. I hadn''t known about her work before. So, windowshopping is good, for you and for them.

Hope you can make it and post some pictures!

Any other Bay Area PSers game? PM me and let me know... Maybe I''ll make a group reservation

It''s at their Fourth Street location, in Berkeley. Just think of all the other shopping you could do...before the Richard Homer gemstone party!

ps but i''m still thinking about going!

 

[kimikocat]

Oops! I''m used to forums w/ PMs.

Ah well, leave a msg here then. It''d be fun to meet other PSers.

I am thinking of going. The only day I have available is Thursday. Can anyone make that?

 

[mercoledi]

Please please please someone go and take a zillion pictures? I''d love to go myself, but I''m stuck on this crummy east coast.

 

[shigidigi]

I would be game for going and could probably make it on Thurs. I would LOVE to see his stuff in person. Hell, I would also love to buy a new shiny toy but saving for a home has really wrecked my ability to "spend"!

 

[kimikocat]

Oh, I totally understand that whole thing about being short on cash for new shiny toys.

I have a few ongoing jewelry projects so I don''t have money to spend on loose stones

I wonder if they''ll let me in "on the spur of the moment"?

 

[mercoledi]

So did anyone go?
