This 'tree' of wonder caught my attention - as well as all the birds within - but like many booths, these vendors sort of 'major' in something and 'minor' in something else. Either way, I was blown away, and had to share part of my Denver experience. Email me (or Reply) with questions, learn more about the event at www.DenverGem.show

PLUS, I'll be selling at the following BIG SHOWS:

• Denver Gem Show Sept. 5-14 (at the National Western Complex) INFO

• Topsfield Fair Oct. 3-13 (in the Trade Center building) INFO

• Fall NJ Gem Show Oct. 8-12 (NJ Convention Center) INFO

In the meantime, any (and every) day - our Portal Crystal Gallery is open 7 days a week - in Arlington Center, MA at 489 Mass. Ave. from 1-4pm (starting at noon on Saturdays)

Charlie Kirk, huh? What a brutal and senseless end. And for what? Nothing. Here was someone with a mission, who actually cared about his life, and the lives of others. And a cowardly terrorist (yes, get used to that word, and behavior) took his life rather than listen, or argue, or organize, or vote. And at the age of 22 no less. What does this say about the younger generation's capacity to cope and co-exist?

Anyway, I'm feeling good about what I've done here in Denver - last weekend - hopefully some shots in the arm, financially. It hasn't been that great, relative to other shows I've done. Don't get me wrong - I loved my space - and my vendor neighbors. The audience - while it has nice & appreciative people - is generally a bit jaded and entitled, given that it seems to be a buyers' market. It's hard to justify such a huge offering of vendors to a relatively small number of attendees. Actually, the turnout is good - with promotion stronger than ever - but their wallets are split and foot traffic is dissipated by literally square miles of merchandise to peruse.
