Harvest Festival

[cjsmith]

Today Rob and I went to the San Jose "Harvest Festival" arts & crafts show. (I'd link to its page here, but its QuickTime plugins keep doing illegal stuff and I get "strongly advised" to restart my browser. Grump.)

I was very, very good and did NOT BUY any opals. Not one. I did buy food, a gift for a friend, more food, a thing that miiiiight help make my bras fit, and a pair of earrings.

But one opal I saw and didn't buy is the thing I'm going to remember for years. Ahhh, if I were a millionaire... or if I didn't hope to go back to school. This opal was stunning. I wish I had the words to describe it; I wish I had a photo. I wish I had some way to show it to all of you. I loved it so much that what I most want to do is show it to everybody, so they can all see its beauty too.

It was forbidden in the gallery, but I almost asked the opal owner for an exception. :-) I think maybe I'm glad I didn't. Like you said, the picture would be shite, and then I'd say HEY EVERYBODY LOOK AT THIS SHITE I ADORE and it just wouldn't be the same. :-)
