Hi boys and girls.

This hobby, for some a business can be obsessive. I expect more so than the average person in the community.

I have had a break from community stalls for near 6 months and felt the need to get out there again.
Have not ventured into net sales.
 
As all the metal I work with is silver, it needed a buff, what a pain that was!

I had't really checked just how many pendants and ear rings I had on hand so started to check the various hiding places.

The result surprised me.

These are the stones as laid out on a 30" x 72" table.


A little closer with 3 views.
Their are a number of exotics but the majority are agates, cherts, jaspers and thunder eggs from agate creek.






As for cabs alone that would require another table, and this is all done as a hobby over the last few years.

It is obsessive, however for me it is magnificent.

Any views on the matter?

Wow, what a loot.  yes yippie yes

You certainly are in good company. I like wearing things, but it slowly gets out of hand when it seems to take longer to choose what pendant to wear than the clothes. bricks

 Obsession has connotations of being unhealthy , this seems totally positive so maybe it should be called an insistent expression.
