-> ->  RH> No plastic flowers for you eh?
-> 
-> -> No, no plastics. Silk, maybe.
-> 
->  RH> Ribbon roses?  Or doesn't Steve manage that kind of stuff?
-> 
-> No, I don't know if his fingers are dexterous enough to make any. Then
-> too, he might surprise me and try it.

I'd advise using florist's ribbon or grosgrain instead of satin though; 
satin's a pain.

-> 
-> We've got the refillable cups. What happens with loose tea is that it

Good idea.  I did snag some K cups last Friday, but only because I found 
Earl Gray on the markdown rack.  
 
->  RH> Got some today for free.  I can handle free.
-> 
-> I can too--and at some point I'll start the Attic Windows you sent the
-> pieces for.

AFTER Christmas.(LOL)  
 
-> -> And looks pretty to me.
-> 
->  RH> Ever go really vintage and make one of the Hawiian applique quilts?
-> 
-> Been working on a small one off and on for some years, doing it by hand.
-> Had to give up when the carpal tunnel developed and haven't picked it up
-> since the surgery--too many other irons in the fire--but will,
-> eventually.
-> 
 Hmmm, something else to teach Steve?  A friend's hubby used to do all her 
cutting.  It's not that much of a stretch.

-> -> We generally don't go to Walgreens, got a CVS only about a 5 minute 
walk
-> -> away.
-> 
->  RH> They might have it too, but I saw it in a big Walgreen's.
-> 
-> Nearest Walgreens is a ways away & they don't support our perscription
-> plan.
-> 
That lets them out. The CVS stores have the 85% most of the time.  It'll
do.
 
->  goes for half what it should have.  I've hit a hail mary play  or two
->  that way before.  It doesn't happen often but it does happen.
-> 
-> -> We're winding down the search now, except for some 12mm light green 
with
-> -> brown malachite beads.
-> 
->  RH> Green and brown doesn't sound like malachite.  I've seen the stone,
->  RH> but forget the proper name.
-> 
-> From my searching, I'm beginning to think it was adventurtine. Just
-> doesn't seem to be like even the lighter, synthetic malachites. If so,

Adventurine is often pretty translucent.  Something in the back of my brain 
says chrysocolla, which is the family malachite belongs to.  Not all of
them 
have the stripes.  Adventurine is mostly green, but you'll see some orange 
too. If it's translucent, it could be in the chrysoprase family too.

-> one of these days I'll invest in a malachite necklace (12mm alternating
-> with about 4mm gold beads) as well.

I have an 8mm one with gold fill sitting here somewhere.  Nothing that big.
