Hi Kevin:

    None taken. You're right, sometimes I do sound really detached from
    the pieces that I make. I think sometimes it's the accounting/finance
    mentality coming out and sometimes it's the fact that my abilities
    to create jewelry don't live up to my standards yet. You don't mean
    to imply that it's all happenstance though, do you? I mean, there is
    some sales-oriented interaction with the customer at some point,
    right? 

    Sorry, but you are making me think of the post the other day about
    CraftBoston. I think it read something like...."you're not going to
    make any sales while you are standing outside your booth, talking on
    your cell phone" 

Best Regards
Kim Starbard
