Hi Lisa,

    The number of recent posts may have decreased because many of the
    active posters here have been off to Brad Simon's four-day Jeweler's
    Bench Conference in Buffalo, NY. 

    I just returned last night and was pleasantly surpised to have been
    able to put faces to the many names I se here. Great fun, informal
    event, but very, very educational, and a chance to see many vendors
    in a venue much lass crowded than the normal large jewelry shows. 

    I was invited to teach a full afternon class relating to jewelry
    photography, and two other clases relating to the handling of
    colored stones at the bench. I had too much fun and I thnk everyone
    else did, as well, judging from the buzz. 

    United Precious Metals gave us a tour of their facility, breaking a
    long-standing tradition of allowing ANYONE inside their facilities.
    Very educational and impressive. The group was then taken to nearby
    Niagara Falls for a visit, and THEN to the Anchor Bar, the home of
    the riginal Buffalo Wings, where everyone feasted. And UPM most
    generously picked up the entire tab! WOW! 

    Next year, the event is in Los Angeles...for more information visit
    BWSimon.com and subscribe to the free Bench newsletter. 

    Just a great event for bench jewelers and store owners!
