    To finish my thoughts on my last posting----- 

    I wrote" I am just trying to remember that wealthy people (who buy
    designer metalwork) rarely sweat a price tag for things that they
    want to buy...it's just a different mindset...to the contrary, often
    they find morevalue in things that cost more and they can brag about
    to their friends. OH gosh how cynical can I be?? So I have
    implemented a 15% increase in prices across the board for silver and
    have explained to my galleries why it was necessary..It was high
    time for new prices anyhow. 

    I've been mulling this over today and have another outlook on this
    $$ is sue...When the market is up, it means that someone is making
    money somewhere...the wealthy usually get more so during these
    periods (anyone remember yuppies?? yikes)This could actually be a
    really positive thing for all of us- as we are shocked into
    re-evaluating our price structures and get creative about our sales..
    'nuff said- 

Ciao from Maureen BZ (who is less cynical now after having a fun day in 
the studio)
