SoCal peeps! Anaheim Intergem show Feb. 22-24

[Selkie]

Don''t forget, next weekend is the Anaheim gem show at the convention center. I''m sure some of the vendors will have been in Tucson, so you''ll get first pick of their goodies!

 

[Selkie]

Oh yeah-Free pass!

 

[coatimundi_org]

Thanks for the info Selkie!
Wish I could go

I''m going to wait for the Santa Monica one--much closer

 

[kcoursolle]

I don''t think I can make this one, but if you end up going take some pictures of the bling for us!

 

[Selkie]

I''ll try! Maybe I can smuggle a camera in

. I''m going to pick up my benitoite pendant and hopefully settle the insurance issues on the ring that got lost in the mail.

 

[musey]

Ooooh I wanna go... maybe a good place to look for a wedding band?

 

[EricaR]

I''m thinking about trying to go, too. Depends if I''ve kicked this stupid cold that has been bugging me for two weeks.

Ohhhhhh.. Selkie.. I wish I could.. !!

Why not? We should get a few San Diego gals to go together!!

 

[EricaR]

If anyone wants to meet up I''d be totally willing! I live very close to Anaheim and haven''t yet met any PS-ers in person! I want to start scouting out wedding bands that work with my ering as well as stacking rings for a RHR.

 

[luvmyhalo]

I would LOVE to go! I was going to go alone (none of my friends have the diamond gene) but it would be nice to have some partners in crime! I''m also looking for some fun stacking bands. I live about 30 min from Anaheim. Which day are you gals thinking of going?

 

[Mchllmarsh]

I think that I''m going to try to go! It sounds like fun, I''ve never been before.

 

[EricaR]

I want to look at stacking bands, too! Sunday works best for me as I have plans all day Saturday.

I''m due on March 28. Think the hospital with discharge me if I tell them I need to buy a push present?

 

[Selkie]

Oh, come on T-gal, you could just pop over to the gem show after delivering, and get the sprog innoculated with the jewelry bug early!

 

[luvmyhalo]

Did anyone go today? If so, how was it??? I''m soooo hoping that I''ll get to go on Sunday. Hubby is driving back from Amarillo, TX. If he''s back in time to watch our little one, I''ll skip down to Anaheim and look for some treasures!!!

 

[Miranda]

I may go tomorrow luvmyhalo. I''ll let you know how it is.

 

[luvmyhalo]

Thanks Miranda!

 

[Mchllmarsh]

So I went today, and I couldn't help but buy something!

I got a pair of Pink Zircon round gems.
1.94ctw
05.5mm

I'm so excited, I cant wait to set them!

 

[Mchllmarsh]

Ok here they are...

 

[luvmyhalo]

Oooooooh.....They are so pretty! I went today too. (Thanks Selkie for the free pass.) I got a cute little stacking ring. Its diamond and yellow sapphire. I''ll see if I can take some pics with the hubster''s camera and post a pic. The vendor gave me her number to call when I''m ready to order some more. Stackables are addictive!!!!!

Oh good, I''m glad some folks went. I didn''t get to go after all, but will try for Santa Monica in March. I''m looking forward to seeing pics of your band. And MM, those zircons are a GORGEOUS shade, and I''m not even much of a pink fan.

I think the Santa Monica show will be better. A few people I talked with today said that there are many more vendors at that show then were there today.

 

[Mchllmarsh]

Thanks... I was very excited!

Is the Santa Monica show going to be better? I might be interested in going to that one too!

 

[Selkie]

It''s definitely bigger. IT spreads throughout almost the entire SM Civic Center. There''s more vendors, but there''s also a larger proportion of non-fine jewelry vendors, like beading supplies. A lot of fun, and an easy way to kill 2 or 3 hours.

Ohhhhhh.. Selkie.. I wish I could.. !!

I couldn''t. One, Steve''s daughter had a Show Choir performance in Whittier on Saturday.. and I have been sick - AGAIN - since Friday.. dang it all to H-E-double hockeysticks.. ARGH!!

I am sorry you are still under the weather! Another friend of mine got a bad cold for 2 weeks, got better for one, and the cold came back again with same symptoms. She knows someone in her lab that had exact same pattern cold too. I think it is a resistant virus that incubate quietly fr a while but comes back with fierce

. Anyhow don'' forget to disinfect your toothbrush with boiling water or just replace it so you don''t "reinfect" yourself. Take care hon!
