Gem show?

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

I was wondering if there is any interest in a Gem show at the store? Possibly in the fall? If there is any interest in this idea I would love to here it. Most of the items for the show would be brought in for the show and gone after.

Down at the store the beat goes on. There is a lot of interest in hemp right now. In the 60’s we called it macramé today they call it hemping.  I like to encourage hemping with the idea it gives the kids, teans and adults something to do. This is one thing guys like and we see quite a few guys in picking up big hole beads.

Basic hemping is very easy and can be learned in an afternoon. I can show anyone the basic steps on a Saturday down at the store.  Getting started early, around noon, is a good idea. Remember, this is not just for kids. I saw a great rug in an old magazine the other day along with some groovy plant hangers.
