Thank you for stopping by and for ...Hello Tribalis!<br />Thank you for stopping by and for the lovely comment.<br />They do look like hematites (thank you for the suggestion) but as I remember it, they aren't. They were labeled as something more exotic. Of course, I still don't remember what they are, only what they aren't. I always think I'll remember what I purchase at shows and of course, never do. And then the same stones often have numerous names.......so it's hopeless. Or maybe I could take the time to write it down when I'm buying it........hahahaha Anvil Artifactshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246256420629683122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555174565681262998.post-61266601583083288792012-11-16T22:59:01.839-06:002012-11-16T22:59:01.839-06:00Thank you Bond Girl.

Sorry, I don't know where it was taken but you can track it back to the original source from my boards. We used to go see the manatees at Blue Springs on 17-92 outside of DeBary, Deland. They were literally right there a few feet from you. And yes, I have wonderful pictures that I've taken somewhere.....in storage like everything else I own! Thank you Pinterest for making it so easy to share!<br />You sweety! Thank you! Ok, but if you're going to Gatorland just for me, you have to go up to the top level of the tower to feed the gators. then have chills up your spine (like I always do) when you see how many of them come out of nowhere. Ack and the sound of their jaws snapping shut! I never went swimming in gator infested waters after going to Gatorland. Yikes! Just got a chill now. Hope you have an absolute blast! Please do tell all about it after you go. :) Anvil Artifactshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246256420629683122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555174565681262998.post-43281725878934508552012-11-16T22:46:47.959-06:002012-11-16T22:46:47.959-06:00Thank you fanci!

The-longest-move-in-history-ugh! <br />You've been missed. But if I had a moose mama and baby napping in my front yard like you do, I'd be looking out my window too and not in the studio or on the computer. Fantastic post on your recent blog.

Kidding, of course they didn't mean to do it.........?????<br />Thank you for your kind words about my box top jewels. Much appreciated! Setting up the new studio will be fun. For the first, oh, 15 seconds at least, right? I am so looking forward to hammering something. But I think my hammering muscles have all withered away......

Even so, a great thing to find two that similar! Once we get settled and I can start drilling and shaping rocks again, you'll see some of our finds.

I always LoVe them all...if I had to choose...the fossils were my fav, closely followed by the wave assemblages which I swooned over in the magazine and the ice queen.<br /><br />Glad to hear you found a new abode and we all want to see photos of the new studio!<br /><br />Was your manatee photo from Crystal River or just random? I want you to know when the lines slow down at Gatorland and they do the resident special I will go there just for you. We have gators in the neighborhood here but it'll be interesting to learn more about them...more than just how to outrun them!!! ;)<br /><br />Your photos from the fair were cool! Especially getting a pic of Tex before he fried. All that fried stuff though...fried beer and gator....ich!<br /><br />Good Luck with the unpacking!martinisfor2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05935263427060069544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555174565681262998.post-89922852809945035642012-11-08T11:29:34.429-06:002012-11-08T11:29:34.429-06:00Man it's so great to catch up with you in anot...Man it's so great to catch up with you in another of your long, super fun posts chock full of humor and beauty.

Cremated Tex and people stuck in the sky though? Gives me the willies - I would almost prefer fried beer and butter to that!<br />That frying is just bizarre.<br />Gorgeous box top jewels as ever. I love the fossils, and those eggy looking beads are perfect with them. The squared off shields are fabulous, and I love the earwires on the Peruvian Opal numbers too. Unmistakeable Anvil style - love it.<br />All good luck with getting this last bit of your marathon move out of the way, and I hope you have fun settling yourself into your new studio.<br />Lots of hugs,<br />xoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxox :O)Petra Carpreauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634177424863587214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555174565681262998.post-15297233373488343772012-11-06T22:08:13.412-06:002012-11-06T22:08:13.412-06:00The festival of lights looks completely amazing......The festival of lights looks completely amazing....<br />And what's the deal with the sideways pics?

Picked up a few things at our favorite stores jewelry sale last weekend. Been making some wine glass charms, my niece says she wants to get sets for many of her relatives so I am cranking those out. They are all big wine drinkers and her husband is the youngest of nine kids! <br /><br />Fried beer...................that just ain't right. Beer is supposed to be cold and liquid. <br /><br />Obviously you have a house now, congrats on that. Hope the move goes smooth and a studio space is set up quickly for you. Although you seem to be doing well with a box lid!
