A few weeks ago I went out to Arizona to visit friends and family but I was also able to squeeze in a trip to Tucson for the International Gem and Mineral Show. It was an amazing day of shopping! I was buying pearls and stones for the next year. I can find design materials at this show that I can not find anywhere else. I missed the show in 2009 so this year was really fun and I had a lot of shopping to do. I am now beginning to really work on new designs for this spring! Here are some photos of my purchases..
