Yes, I have been working on that today as well as so many other things I need to do. I am also bringing some long pieces of Lauscha clear cane over one inch in diameter that has nice color ribbons running through them.

When I travel to Europe, I gather everything I have to take and lay it out on the bed and then if there is any room left in the suitcase, or if they allow me a second suitcase, I start looking for other things to take. Maybe I need 3 pair of shoes, oh yea they got towels, but I want my bath robe.

The same thing with shows, as I start opening boxes I see so much stuff that I think somebody would want, but way too much to take.

I am just glad that I have the energy, I only had enough jam to start working on weekends a few weeks ago, been a long journey, I need a vacation after the Gathering.

Will take proposals, trades, looking for fine place for me and wife to relax, prefer the trade winds and 71 degrees, but can go up to 83 degrees before I start to melt. Really do not want to go to anyplace where it rains all the time. I do need a bit of sun, my belly looks white.

Got a home on Kaui?
Or how about Dubai?
Distance does not matter
All you need to give me smiles
Is an airline that takes my miles

Mike;
Do you know if the vendor area will be open to people not registered for the gathering? I have to go out of town on Friday afternoon.

Look forward to seeing your booth, etc. (my first Gathering) - head to the airport in about an hour. Have any CIM Maraschino?

I can't tell you how much fun I had at the frit bar making up my own frit combinations, what a great idea.
The gathering was great, lots of beautiful beads and lampworking supplies.

Mike, Will there be any 'glass bundles' left over from the Gathering being listed on the website? I'm ready to place an order but didn't want to do it too soon and miss out.

Most of the bundles of glass will go back into inventory. We are in the process of organizing our back building which has close to 200,000 pounds of glass and I am sure we are going to find some unusual glass.

I think I will have some specials on pink. Over the years we have gotten many different productions of 256 dark pink, each production was a tonality that was usually different than the production before. This will take time..........
