Keep your fingers crossed
I just spent an hour with the widow of a jeweler here in town, who is selling off his old equipment. Some of the stuff he had! I gave her a list of what I really wanted, and told her I hoped I could afford it. Her reply, "I'm sure you can..."
It's a bench. And a lapidary set up. And hand tools. *drools*
She's getting it all appraised next week, so hopefully I'll be hearing from her soon-ish after that.
*thoughtful* You know, if I'm able to cut and polish my own stones, I may never leave the workshop....
I saw District 9 on Sunday. A very good movie, one I'm still thinking about. Decent use of the shaky!cam, quite a bit of blood and gore (gratuitous use of Explode Person), and a lot to be thinky about. Two appendages up!
Going to see Inglorious Basterds tonight with the World's Best Niece. Then I have to bake a cake. :-)
