Has she had her eyes checked lately? Just kidding, please thank her for me. Maybe it will inspire her to wrap your cabs, tell her that if I can do it anyone can.... Well, her mom just had eye surgery last week, so it's just a matter of time! LOL I'm way ahead of you on that plan...I told you, it's all about planting the seeds. Sometimes it just takes longer for those seeds to germinate! LOL She did ask if you did any of those wraps that look like trees around the stone. I said I didn't think you had, but I felt you were more than capable of doing something like that. Ahem....  😀 Well you are good at getting results! I have not done tree of life wraps yet, maybe some day... |

My first sale was a flat top Ocean Jasper for $20 and I included a free cab since it was my first sale.  |

So, here's an update.
I ended up selling 2 pendants, which is ok. My coworker said the crowd and the amount of vendors was light due to covid. Either way, I'm happy they sold, it gives me some reinforcement. Now, along the lines of jasoninsd 's post and the amount of generosity people have shown me here on RTH, I've decided to do sort of a "contest." I'll send a SFRB to the first person who can correctly guess which two sold. They'll be numbered 1-12 from left to right and top to bottom (look at the original picture in this thread). The stuff I send may not be spectacular, but you never know what I might send. The winner can choose between slabs for cabbing, local agates/jasper from this area to tumble, or pet wood from here. I'll check from time to time to see if anyone gets it right, and it will end on Monday. Oh, here's the kicker...you have to also say which one sold first!  |

Congrats on the 2 sales, miket!
The first show that Vince and I actually participated in, we had 2 trays on a shared club table. Within 15 minutes of the show opening, we sold a small Rhodocrosite cab and thought it was going to be easy. It's the only cab we sold over the whole 3 day show.
You did really good selling 2!  |
