Of course, I went to the Gem and Jewelry Show last weekend at Vet's Memorial.  I wasn't in a great mood to bead shop because I wasn't feeling well, but I had to go anyway. I noticed that several of the regular vendors were not in attendance and that's a shame. I really didn't come out of the show with much this time. I did, however, come out with a a few strands of some beautiful Brazilian agate beads from which I have already made some earrings .  I will post photos of them soon-hopefully this weekend. I need to update some pictures anyway.Don't forget to shop at a small business this Saturday.

If you're looking for essential oils, fragrances, diffusers and body butters in the Columbus, OH area, try The Oil Refinery and Reserve located at The Shoppes at 1030 Alum Creek. I love their shea butter with coconut oil-especially during the winter months when my skin gets dry and lotions seem to all but disappear within a few hours of application .  This product is whipped and coconut oil added to give it the perfect consistency. They have great gift items and stocking stuffers.   Check them out.
