so many pearls, so little time

Wow, my eyes were getting misty looking at those incredible photos, too! I thought I was the only sentimentalist, but apparently Pattye and I had the same reaction.

The blues are gorgeous, and that purple! I'm speechless...

I'm flat-out, knocked out, on the floor, can't get up. Can you imagine? Implanting the bead, caring for the molluscs, waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more for harvest and then getting those! I'd be giggling like a kid at Christmas and you'd never get a single pearl away from me. Thank you so much for sharing.
