May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 9

Ella,
I have only been to King of Prussia once- for the Beadfest this past August, but I am sure that show would also be one of the larger shows. I don't know if the vendors would buy from individuals or not, but certainly worth a try to ask. Even if they don't buy, they may be able to give you some suggestions about selling them. One thing I have found since starting to make the jewelry is that the other people doing the same things are one of your best resources. I've gotten to know some of the vendors a little, and if you are nice and talk to them, they are willing to give you some ideas and sometimes a better deal if they remember you. Plus it's just fun to go to these shows. As far as selling my jewelry goes, my DH and I (he makes glass things-mostly pendants) have done several craft shows this past fall. This is just a hobby for us to give us something to do. The best we have done and the biggest event we have done is Olde Salem Days, which is a HUGH!!!! show in Salem, VA which is right beside Roanoke. They say that it draws 100k+ people every year. The vendor next to us this year was from PA. P.S.-we just recently stayed at the Poly in WDW and we went in to the Wyland Gallery there, and I don't know if anything will come of it or not, but the manager noticed the glass dolphin my DH was wearing, and asked him to e-mail some pictures of some of his pendants-he makes a lot of aquatic animals. He's only been doing the torch work for about a year, so he was thrilled. ....Vicki

Thank you so much Vicki....you really have helped. I'll go to the King of Prussia show in March and I'll go on Sunday early. The vendors might be willing to purchase after a lot of sales. I don't have that much to bring. And like you said, it'll be fun!

If I were you, I would call that manager of the Wyland Gallery and remind him of your work. You never know. Good Luck! Hope you find out that he's interested in buying from you. The glass dolphin sounds beautiful.

I spent the afternoon at the hospital and the news is not very good. They had to put Frank back into a coma. He has way too much congestion and he is heading towards Pneumonia. They have to put some type of meds down and suction him. They said can not breathe on his own at all. But it a Catch 22...the longer he has the ventalator, the worse the Pneumonia...but while he has Pneumonia they can't take out the ventalator.....

He tossed and turned a lot today and they had to tie him even more tightly so he does not pull tubes out.

Lisa-I'm so sorry about this news, it must be so hard on all of you. Hang in there!

I just tried to call Blake to get his e-mail address so I can send him a current picture. No answer. No voice mail. Must mean he was on the other line. Or maybe he got spooked by our phone conversations yesterday and just didn't want to answer my call.

It just means that he's not available because he's busy doing something, probably work. Just call back another time.

Remember when we used to get busy signals and no answers on phones all the time. Technology has spoiled us.

Holly, non of us honestly believe that he got spooked. He was so happy he called you and told you he wanted to see you soon and to call him.

Just try again.

Ohhh if they get it can you ask them if I can see it? I've seen a Cat 1 and 2 but I still want to see a Cat 3 and 4.

Wishing Mickey and Will good luck and that they get their Cat 4.

I'm still in the lifeboat, I checked again today and no assignment yet.

Thanks. What program are you going to do Kaylee? Are you doing Mexico in Feb? Lucky you! Where will you be staying?

Deb...I run a weight loss program at the office...it is a physician monitored program that I put myself on occasionally...this year I am starting it with a 7 day liquid detox and then 5 weeks of the diet program. Not so sure how well I'll do, but I'm giving it my best! We are going to Mexico (ziehuatenejo) in March for 10 days!
Noel, have a great trip and a great birthday!
Lisa, so sorry to hear that he is back in a coma

Hi guys-long time no posting. How is everyone?

yay the semester's over!!!!! managed to pull 3 A's and a wonderfully fantastic B in my pharmacology class (man that was a hard class!)

Have I missed anything huge on here? We finally got a room assignment --6313, no upgrade for us oh well, at least we'll be on the boat!

got the first half of our plane ticket--we get to Orlando @ 8:15 Friday night, will buy the return when SWA releases them on the 20th.

Have you guys looked at the shore excurscions? wait what am I asking, of course you have!

Hi there. Well done on the grades. Still waiting on a room assignment here - we're Cat 6 so could be they are working on them.

I spent the afternoon at the hospital and the news is not very good. They had to put Frank back into a coma. He has way too much congestion and he is heading towards Pneumonia. They have to put some type of meds down and suction him. They said can not breathe on his own at all.

He tossed and turned a lot today and they had to tie him even more tightly so he does not pull tubes out.

Sorry to hear this Lisa. Will keep him and you all in my prayers.

what can I say Tebow is a typical man....spread out for all the world to see on the floor (hut his head is keeping my feet warm)...I wonder does he know he is missing parts?

I should update on our lab adoption as well....we, were pretty much approved for Mousse depending on a home visit and after much discussion John really felt we aren't ready to handle an animal with such needs. Deep down I am sure he is right but I still wish we could have given him a good home.

That is a brave decision. Better to decide now than a little way into the adoption.

Deb, we're cat 4 come visit us and have a DOD on our veranda

I want to see a Cat 3

You're all wwelcome to visit Gydell, Deb and me in our lifeboat, but not all at once.

Deborah, what it Nero?

 

[granmaz]

Ok, I should look at the whole post before I ask questions!!!!

 

[granmaz]

Not sure I have enough photos that are interesting. I seem to have taken loads going into and coming out of Castaway Cay!!! Well you have to keep trying for that perfect picture don't you?

We don't like having our photos taken really and of course no children to snap either. Our friends are not in the least bit interested in our vacation.

 

[granmaz]

No room assignment yet here. At least it should be warm in the lifeboat.
