Sorry, I couldn't make it down there but I'll see you tomorrow. Stop by my table. I will bring the Bennington's and clays with me but I'm not going to put them out for sale to the public. But I would like to get a good opinion on them. Barb

And because I don't have a lot of my own marbles and am taking a some of the vintage marbles, I will fill up my table with what I will call for this show my "Marbles Morphed into Seashells". I'll have some made up as wine stoppers and some as ceiling fan pulls. Barbara www.barbbbeads.com

I didn't get around to taking pics this weekend but trust me, I'll have PLENTY left after this show. I'm not taking that many of the vintage marbles to the show. I just need to get my husband to sort them out into categories.

Al, I was only planning on coming for the day of the show, but I'm thinking I may take Thursday and Friday off from work to get prepared. Maybe I will come by for the pre-show. I don't live that far away from it. I'd love to get some opinions. See you soon, Barb

Yes I know I should have posted pics. I'll try to get some taken and posted by this weekend.

I'll be doing my first marble show at the Orange County Marble Show in Fullerton, CA on March 20th. I'll have some of my marbles that I made there but since I don't have a lot I will also have some of my husbands vintage marbles. I know hardly anything about vintage marbles so can I ask for advise about pricing? I have LOTS of Cat's Eye marbles. They're so common I was thinking probably around $.05 - $.10 a piece for them. Is that about right? Also he has a bunch of clays and Bennington's in varying sizes that I will probably take. He hasn't studied the market in ages and I never have so I have no clue what fair market value is. I'm not looking to make a fortune, just clean out some clutter and collections. But I'm sure these are worth somewhat more than Cats Eye's so any guidance would be appreciated. Barbara
