Yes, she knows there are other lampworkers here, but those two "speak" to her. Personally, my list of talented beadmakers is quite long and a lot more eclectic, but DD is 14, knows what she likes, and because of her age, knows what the entire world should be like!
Interestingly, she loves the Bali I buy (the more unique the better), but turns up her nose at 14K findings. I've been working on a piece for Mary's upcomng wedding (Meijhana Kitty), and she _loves_ that.
Bob's first job was as import manager for a women's clothing company. The company had been family owned, and every executive position was held by a family member. One day, Bob went to his best friend, the owner of the place, and said, "Why on Earth is your sister on the payroll? I've never seen here here, even once."
The guy laughed and answered. "She's my "design consultant" I have a courier bring over a sample line to her home each season, and she tells me what she likes. Whatever she doesn't like, she sends back. Basically it's a well paying job to keep her out of my building!"
Some days I think that's the kind of job DD aspires to - look at all my stuff, pick out what she likes, and allow me to retain those items that don't interest her. Being well paid for this would be quite welcome, too.
Dream on, kid. I'm counting on her getting a job tht pays so obscenely well that she can keep her poor, old, ugly mother in Beads and Diet Coke.

Wow!! I am truly honored to be one of your daughter's few favorites. :) Thanks for the kind words, Kathy! I understand about loving Bali but not gold. I am the same way. A lot of younger people (my sis's age - she's 22) have told me that they love silver but hate gold. Sounds like your daughter and my sister are very similar - fashionistas! My sis's unusual but trendy sense of style is one of those things that I think she got from the older generations of my family. She's really into the stuff from the 40's and earlier. She keeps telling me what stuff is coming back into style, and she is always right. Surfs ebay like a madwoman, too. Just wait. :) Your DD is not far behind!!
Very Nice!

I agree with this.. DH & I are of different faiths and when we got married 15 years ago, we opted for a JP.. Saves a lot of hassle I can tell you!! I have noticed though, that it's much better if you know the celebrant...

My sister and her husband hired their JP to come to the country club where they were married. The club set up a "chapel," and the JP put on a very nice, personalized, but non-religious service. I thought it was as nice as Bob's and my Catholic Mass, and a lot nicer than my stepsister's ceremony (long story, but the priest kept calling her by someone else's name during the ceremony - ouch!)
They found their JP by word of mouth, actually by asking at the Rod and Gun club to which they belong. A couple of people said that this guy was great, and he was.
By the way, having a JP certainly does not preclude the three ring circus type wedding. My sister's wedding was a lot more elaborate than mine, and hers was a civil ceremony. I worked my bum off behind the scenes so that all that glamour would "mysteriously appear." It was a beautiful wedding, but boy howdy - it was a lot of work.
My brother's wedding reception was very memorable for everyone - mostly because The New Kids on the Block had the number one record in the country at that time, and performed at the reception. (One of them is my SIL's brother) I only know this second hand; I was pregnant with DD and spent the entire (and I do mean entire) reception in the ladies' room, throwing up. We hadn't told anyone that I was pregnant because it would have taken some of the specialness away from my brother's wedding. Bob kept telling everyone that I had eated "bad shrimp" the night before. (He could have said "bad ginger ale and saltines, it would have been the truth).
I keep telling DD all the gory details of having a three ring circus type of wedding, and offering to give her large sums of money to elope. It's not going to happen, though - she wants her day, and of course, we'll give it to her. I have promised myself, Bob and DD that I will not be a pushy mother of the bride. I'll just write checks and keep my mouth shut. :-)

My wedding was 6 weeks from propsal to reception, and the only reason it took that long was because we had to wait until my MIL-to-be returned from Ohio.
What I wanted was a simple civil ceremony with my MIL, my brother and his family, and the Professor's youngest sister and her family and lunch at a local restaurant.
What I got (when SIL-to-be found out) was: a simple semi-religious ceremony at the local Unitarian Church, my brother and family, my MIL, her twin sister and her husband and daughter, one of the professor's brothers and numerous members of his various families (long story), several friends of the Professor's nieces, and a couple of people who wandered in by mistake. SIL #1 decided to take over the reception... Mum spent $200 on flowers. Auntie Marilyn took pictures.
Totally out of control. At least I only had to pay for the minister and the chapel.
Oh, yeah. I *did* get to wear Something Nice. :o)

We may still get married by a JP, or perhaps a pagan minister...he couldn't get married by a Christian one, he would feel hypocrital (that's why he has already said he couldn't get married in a church). But we just don't want to get married in a city hall office, or in a judges chambers. Something a little more nice...
Mary
Oh I agree totally!!!
I got married at Dawson Falls on Mount Egmont in Taranaki NZ in October (which is spring here) and it snowed when we got our photos taken.. Lovely it was... aaahhhhh
Mavis
That sounds lovely too.. I think weddings should have some significant setting.. I'm just glad I got through mine with not too many hitches.. My Dad died the Sunday before and we buried him Wednesday and I got married on the Saturday.. A mixed emotion time if ever there was any. Dad didn't want me to put it off, so we got on with it. Still, it was a lovely day..
Have a nice Waitangi BTW.. and all the best camping.. I personally don't like camping!! LOL
Mavis
That is SO nice! I can just see it. I told DH and he thinks it's lovely too.
We got married pool side at the resort near our house in West Aussie. The photos overlook the marina where we spent many a pleasant afternoon sipping coffee and strolling. So it was very memorable. And the food at the reception was spendiferous!!
We're off camping for our very first Waitangi holiday weekend!
We must be connected by esp or something at the moment, I just painted some beads in pinks and beige with fuchsia spacers.
Yours are just....aahhh, so so lovely. You impress me so much, honey bunch.
In Alaska you can ask a friend to marry you. They go to the court house and fill out some paperwork. In our case, Dan's best friend was chosen for the honor.
We were living in Kenai at the time and there is a central location, kinda like a park, with a gazebo overlooking the Kenai River, the inlet, and the mountains. We were married facing all that beautiful scenery. I'll always remember it as very special.
