Jewelry Swap and Sangria...
  ...an evening of BLING.

Rebecca had a good idea about everyone getting together and swapping/trading/buying their extra gemstones, findings, materials, tools, and jewelry supplies. The result was some amazing booty, nosh, and conversation. Highlights of the night involved amazing saffron-infused Sangria made by Milly, exquisite antique jewelry brought by Flo, and intense discussions of bee-keeping, cheese, and pawn shops in the Four Corners area. Thanks to everyone who participated and a special thanks to Sharon for hosting us!
