Custom Order Bridesmaid Earrings

I got an email two weeks ago from a bride telling me that she loves my work and my jewelry pieces. She asked me if I can make 8 pairs of earrings to her bridesmaids.
I was so excited and honored to help her and be part of her big day. We messaged each other back and forth  and she decided what she wants. I ordered all the supplies I need to make the earrings  and  worked  on them right away as soon as I got them. The earrings now on their way to her place and I hope  her bridesmaids will love my work too.

It was lot of fun for everyone who attended this fest small children and adults for so many games, rides, and lot of food.
The weather was  perfect and everyone were happy it didn't rain.
Off course I was happy too for the huge crowd who attended the fest and visited my booth.  I sold many necklace sets, earrings and anklets:)  I got one custom order too.
Here are some of the pictures I took for my tent there.

Costco

I don't have anything to blog and then I got this email from a friend and said to myself why not post it here. It's a long post so forgive me.

Did you ever wonder how much it costs a drug company for the active ingredient in prescription medications? Some people think it must cost a lot, since many drugs sell for more than $2.00 per tablet. We did a search of offshore chemical synthesizers that supply the active ingredients found in drugs approved by the FDA. As we have revealed in past issues of Life Extension a significant percentage of drugs sold in the United States contain active ingredients made in other countries. In our independent investigation of how much profit drug companies really make, we obtained the actual price of active ingredients used in some of the most popular drugs sold in America .

At the end of the report, one of the anchors asked Mr. Wilson whether or not there were any pharmacies that did not adhere to this practice, and he said that Costco consistently charged little over their cost for the generic drugs.


I went to the Costco site, where you can look up any drug, and get its online price. It says that the in-store prices are consistent with the online prices. I was appalled. Just to give you one example from my own experience I had to use the drug Compazine which helps prevent nausea in chemo patients.

I used the generic equivalent, which cost $54.99 for 60 pills at CVS. I checked the price at Costco, and I could have bought 100 pills for $19.89. For 145 of my pain pills, I paid $72.57. I could have got 150 at Costco for $28.08.

I would like to mention, that although Costco is a 'membership' type store, you do NOT have to be a member to buy prescriptions there as it is a federally regulated substance. You just tell them at the door that you wish to use the pharmacy, and they will let you in.
