2009 - JULY MEETING ANNUAL GARAGE SALE
|
|
Our SF Greeter, Nancy Stone, welcoming members and guests to our meeting. She hands out badges, signs in members and makes guests, visitors, and new members feel welcome.

|
While she was waiting for the
meeting and Garage Sale to start, Gerry White (owner of Beads by
Design and Southeast Regional Coordinator for ISGB) was putting together
packets for the Release a Bead project. This project encourages
ISGB members to leave beads for people to find as a way of letting our
local communities know more about Glass Beadmaking. A bead is put
in a little plastic bag with a note asking the finder to visit the ISGB
website to post a note about their bead and read about other beads that
have been "found". (see below)

For the Garage sale four tables were
set out with all sorts of glass related items that SF member brought to
sell and/or trade. This table had videos, mashers frit
dishes and a variety of glass.

|
On this table is a Vax Cox brass marver, a leaf press, storage jars for frit and powders and several graphite tools.
|
|
Lots more glass and Frit plus a marble shaper and the best tweezers for picking out scum and bubbles - there were a bargain at $1.00 each. If you missed this Garage Sale and you love glass and bargains you must come to the next one.

|
This table has a
Zoozi's press, shards, a face shield, a mallet, and some special yellow
mystery glass.

Is it more fun to
buy, sell or trade? Robin Snuttjer seems to be pondering this.
