Here in Kenosha they tried a winter craft show, call "Harbor Market". It is themed after the German winter fairs. I really didn't think she would do all that good being it was 22 degrees out, 25mph winds, and snowing. It was set up right next to Lake Michigan, in this huge tent, they had heat but was still cold. I was gonna help her set up the haul my butt to the Gem Shop. There was a woman there selling wire wrap fused glass and cubic zirconia, I talked to her, trying to get her to be a partner, my polished rocks and her wraps. The bimbo said she hates wrapping rocks because the shapes were to inconsistant, what a boob. She did tell me about a rock shop in East Troy, about 30 miles away, so I went there, and it's nowhere like my favorit place, The Gem Shop. I should have gone there like I planned, but as many of you know, ya have to check out any leads on a rock shop. Anyway on to the pic. in a moment. The wife had 35 bookmarks and sold all but about 6, sold alot of salt/peper shakers and a few rock necklace's, among other things. she mad quite alot of $ today over 350 bucks in 5 hours and the highest price thing was $10 . Here are a few pic of the crap she sold, when I got back to take these most of the display was gone and sold. A 10x10 spot was $25 for the day.

Those white things are wicks for a oil lamp. Wil1213, where are you in Wi.? Have you ever been to the Gem Shop? Cher, she got the cords at Hobby Lobby. Thanks everyone, she is pretty proud, now today she is taking me out to lunch, and while she does that, I'm gonna try talking her into buying me more grit.....
