Another Tucson adventure behind us......suffered with Influenza Type A for 15 days....it started during the show, several people got real sick....next year, Flu shot before the show....
Traffic was down a bit from the past 2 years, Nepalese buyers were out in force compared to the past.....Chinese buyers were down from previous years....good, red and large Coral selling great, Amber is down a bit again.....old stone beads doing OK, Venetian glass not so good......Gold and Silver beads did well......money was a lot tighter this year, lot's of people looking for trades as well....overall a good show, great to see the familiar faces and mingle with old friends as well as make some great new friends! I will be posting pictures and probably not caption them all, feel free to add info...I'm still under the weather.................the first pics are of the room getting set up
