    Just to update my husband is still in the hospital (it's more serious than was expected per his last CT) 

     

    Puppy is still gone, though I have a wonderful women who set traps for me and cameras to try and catch her... 

     

    I appreciate you all... I read everything today . I just haven't had a second to myself until now. I often feel, God stretches us in these hard times and maybe this is just my families time to stretch a little... 

    thank you guys for your support I really needed it...🥲

    I lost my puppy today she ran away, my husband has been in the hospital we are waiting to see if he needs surgery .. and I'm just over here ready to emotionally just break down... 

    I haven't been active because it's just so chaotic and if any of you have any good juju or believe in a higher power I could really use the prayers...or should I say my family ... 

    I'm not looking for sympathy just some really honest good energy and kind words..... And I'm trying to keep my heart humble and remember there are those going through so much worse in this world... And my little first world problems aren't anything of measure... 

    It's just what do you do when you are so overwhelmed and you gotta keep going?

  23. What to take/bring to a Marble Show

    Bring your curiosity and a good small flashlight.  The room doors will be open days in advance.  Walk in, say hi, take your time.  ASK QUESTIONS!  See it as a learning opportunity more than a buying opportunity.  I suggest that you hold on buying until you have visited all of the rooms.  Then go back for key buys.  It is better to buy one $50. marble than ten, $5. marbles.  IMO - the real value of a show is LEARNING.  There is so much opportunity to learn because you have the glass IN HAND - not some pic on the Internet with variable lighting, color boosting and bad focus.  Nothing compares to having the marble in hand.

    Ask WHY it is from a certain manufacturer.  Look at the glass, opacity, transparency, movement and color.  Don't try to learn all manufacturers at once.  Narrow it down to concentrate better and learn more.  Good sellers will answer questions without spin, hype or impatience.  Oh - and don't drop someone else's marble.  That's bad juju.  Develop a sense of who you are talking to - and who knows more and has more accurate info to share.  Beware hype.  Know when you are being hyped.

    Some of the rooms will stay open quite late.  Much to be learned late.  Most of the show is 'over' behind the scenes before the show day begins.

    Have fun!

     

    😉Solid advice!!! Just coming from a show not in a hotel (I spent a lot of time with the sellers and other marble collectors) asked a million questions, listened to stories and got answers on some of my burning questions about marbles I had... 

    So that would be my only add if you have questions write them down or bring the marbles in question and a black light flashlight :)

    oh and many people have cards for contact in the future .. def snag them if they have it. It's great to stay in contact ☺️

     

    thanks for asking I hope to go to other shows myself so the advice was heard over here too 🥸
