Janet Kay’s Musings

There are activities in Denver that are pretty big and great and fun!! The local Gem Clubs in the area started this many years ago and I have been told it is second in size to the Tucson Gem show only.
Beginning on Wednesday, there are a couple of shows that sell everything from beads, gems, finished jewelry to items made from gem stones--such as?? Last year I bought a gaudy mortal and pestle made in India for the silly low price of $15. Also picked up some cabochons for $3 each.
These shows are scattered around Denver--mostly on the north end starting at 48th Ave and I-25, two shows at the Merchandise Mart and the bead show is east off of I-70 and Chambers Rd.

The Club show at the Merchandise Mart starts on Friday and goes thru Sunday--I especially enjoy the demos done by the rock guys and girls in the club. Maybe because my son and grandson will be there showing how to facet clear stones. Check them out--Ron and Chris Snelling. Chris (age 17) has his first showcase this year. He's pretty amazing with his work and I know I am impressed but he has had a great teacher in his Dad all these years.
