Mule Days in Bishop for Memorial Day Weekend

Sherry added an Evershine pewter boot to this opalite heart making stunning pendants that are always popular.

Mule Days is one of our biggest shows – and fun, too!

We are part of Art in the Park and have an almost front row view of the parade on Saturday. It boasts being the largest non mechanized parade in America. And with all the mules and other animals, marchers, etc. it seems to go on all morning. Hope to see you there.

Where is Bishop? On the edge of the Sierra Mountains, on Highway 395 in Central California. A truly beautiful mountain paradise.

Gem & Mineral Show Joshua Tree California This Weekend

Wonderstone, is like snowflakes: no two are alike. The swirls of silica form patterns that allow our imagination to see almost anything. What do you see in this pendant? We collected this rock while on a trip in Northern Nevada.



This week we will be showing at the Spring Gem and Mineral Show in Joshua Tree California. The show is held at the Sportsmen’s Club. A community center in town, just outside of Joshua Tree National Park. Daily, Thursday through Sunday, this show is always great. AT 60 dealers, it is a big show.

What could be better than combining a great show with a great National Park. Hope to see you there.

London Bridge Renaissance Faire Lake Havasu March 15-17

Poppies on a hillside in our back yard

“The best year for wildflowers, EVER,” is on the minds of many, here in Southern California.  We have been travelling to South and Central America for the past several weeks and were glad to come home to the explosion of poppies – almost everywhere.

This week we are off to the London Bridge Renaissance Faire in Lake Havasu. This three day event, March 15-17, allows you to step back in time, role play or just wander among a time, centuries ago.  Food, entertainment, games and we will be there as merchants from the east as Bustin Glass and Minerals.  We have “Pirate Booty,” and many other treasures of glass art, crystals and minerals.  An event for all ages.

The south west desert should provide an abundance of flowers and a guaranteed fun time.  The weather is forecasted to be sunny and clear.  May your week be blessed.  Hope to see you there.
