you are very welcome

Im working on it. My computer keeps freezing. I had to reboot!

Not a problem so is my computer I ahve had to reboot 4 times tonight

And there is MORE!!!


This Ametrine is GORGEOUS. The stone is actually more amber than it appears, the angle and the flash caused an exaguration of the refraction. The stone is large, and set in sterling silver, ready for a chain. This is an exceptional and exceedingly gracious significant donation.

This topaz is stunning. I wanted to include the information on the stone, but I had to photograph it being worn to show the size. This is very valuable peice. The clarity and colour is amazing.

The big honkin blue ring is a real earth mined stone

I can hardley wait for this...they look amazing

I think I may have some interesting items from my last estate sale, will post on monday when I have time

Woiw do I ever love the blue topaz. Any chance we can bid online??

Absolutely!
I put up a thread about how to do it. In a nutshell if you post an opening bid here, then I will open a thread for bidding specificly for that item, with your bid being the first.

The online bids will compile until the thrusday of the show, then the highest bid on line becomes the reserve bid at the silent auction. Any item that is bid on online will close at noon Saturday.

If you would lie to start online bidding for the Topaz (Gorgeous) or any other item, then just post your intent and opening bid and away we go!

Ok here we go. I'll bid $100 for the blue topaz.

Wow, Susan that is fantastic!!!
I will start the thread right now!!!!

I hope it was enough! I love that ring! Who says $150??
