On Saturday (the 13th) My Dad and I went to a Gem and Mineral show in Bakewell at Lady Manners School.
It's the only show I get to go to now, having no car. But I had a lovely time looking at bits of rocks.
Got a few mineral samples and a couple fern fossils that came from a coal mine in France.
The prettiest thing though, is a 16" string of bronze freshwater pearls (5mm) that only cost me £5.
I now have to figure out how to string them to their best advantage. I've a few ideas - including the standard knotting on silk thread (I'm thinking a soft brown or soft pink).
I'm off to look at the few photos that were taken at the show. Maybe I'll upload a couple.
Later.
