note to Kit Ping and witchofnovember:
Because I've really gone off the deep end with the internet auctions and spent WAY too much, Ray has been greeting each mail arrival with cries of things like "how much stuff have you bought, anyway!!" or "how many things have you bought??" you said only 3 more things--etc etc, and I've had some things I'd made what I thought were offers that would easily be out bid on some things that I won, I've sent the last few things to me c/o you guys. When they arrive will you open them and make sure they are in one piece and Ruth can bring them down next time she come here. They are cameos I paid about 2 bucks for--turns out they are from Korea or somewhere so the shipping was a shock! Now I check the shipping costs when shopping--I'm not doing any more bidding or offering for now. I've got to recover too. Thanks I've been having a lot of fun though, and looking at a lot of sparkly stuff.
