earth treasures

I thought I was going to get to the show early .. I got there shortly after 10… and met people leaving with boxes of goodies .. a few were taking “stuff” to the car and would be going back for more. Already the crew were restocking… In the spring when they had their show, they restocked several times over the week-end. This show was mostly for vendors… restocking for whatever shows they would be doing over the holidays. I was glad I got there during a bit of a lull… Still I had to make my way around customers who pulled carts along beside them filled with their “finds” There was a really good assortment of fossils…

Being around all those wonderful earth treasures … was a “high” in itself.. What I brought back i will let sit for awhile so that the energy collected by them at the sale will dissipate…. I will let the sunlight and moonlight filter over them for weeks… before putting them away.

Have a “Let’s do it” attitude.

Even if a task is difficult, keep in mind we are presented with opportunities all the time, and that we can handle anything we set our minds to. When one door closes another opens.

The above natural raw sodalite gemstones were found on etsy.com Here I know that I can go down to the museum and purchase another small specimen, that is if I can’t locate what I’ve done with my own pieces. It was my desire to search out my piece that got me started on this particular blog. =^_^=. When opportunity knocks open the door!
