Sam the Clam. The Giant Clam! I couldn't resist him. Folkmanis puppets just retired him, so I got an order in before they ran out.

JEG: Oh, that sounds like fun! Syrie: Wowza. Those are gorgeous. The necklace is great, but your earrings are phenomenal! I love gemstones with pearls. And now for something completely different. Bead store, side drilled, dyed, freshwater pearls in the necklace, with a couple of stick...
