Tucson Gem & Mineral Show {Part 1}

February 7, 2013 · 1 Comment

IMG_6767The 59th annual Tucson Gem and Mineral Show is in town! Well, it doesn’t officially open with all its exhibitors until next weekend, but retail dealers have already been flocking in from all over the world . This has become the largest gem and mineral show in the United States, and I couldn’t have been more excited to have exhibits just right outside my door. Not only do you see pure craftsmanship and the beauty of amazing natural pieces found from the Earth, but all proceeds of the show go towards the Tucson economy to support mineral knowledge and appreciation. This is the one thing I love about Arizona, people have a true appreciation for the land and what it gives back to their lives….but back to the amazing natural discoveries. We decided to enjoy the gorgeous day to walk downtown looking for pop-up vendors, and then headed to a mineral and fossil exhibit right next to my house. IMG_6770 IMG_6774 IMG_6776 IMG_6782 IMG_6785Breathe-taking minerals, gems, and fossils that you couldn’t describe but just look in amazement that they’re all found naturally in the ground that we live our daily lives on. I loved the pastel coral-like gems and the large organic structures that would become a jaw-dropper in any home…entryway? If only I had that kind of money…then again can money truly buy the beauty of these pieces.
IMG_6798 IMG_6800 IMG_6802 IMG_6804 IMG_6806 IMG_6810 IMG_6812 IMG_6814 IMG_6816 IMG_6818 IMG_6821 IMG_6824 IMG_6828 IMG_6830 IMG_6832 IMG_6833 IMG_6836I couldn’t help myself from occasionally singing…”Shine bright like a diamond…diamonds in the sky!!”….Through gems that sparkled like diamonds, minerals that gleamed like glass, and fossils of species unknown to the common person, I found this perfect emerald-green stone coaster for my might time tea. I’ve said it before, but I love anything that is beautiful and functional, like a native Arizona boulder turned into a wine rack. Now, that’s a piece to have near your bar cart!
IMG_6840 IMG_6842 IMG_6845Beautiful rose gold copper pieces and translucent stone sinks that would be the envy of anyone’s bathroom. IMG_6852 IMG_6855 IMG_6857 IMG_6860Can it get anymore stunning than the sunshine glittering from these crystals…
IMG_6866Can’t wait to see more unique pieces from all over the world and continue my search for amazement…

A Lover of Nature & Kindness, constantly smitten by the simple pleasures of life. Travel fills my soul with bliss & inspiration. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing. I love the outdoors & live for al fresco dinner parties, cozy candlelit romantic affairs with warm fires & blankets to share.

I dream about these things, it’s true. Yes, it’s all the small details in life that drive me & everything I do because we all deserve to celebrate every special moment in our lives…

tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight of the fact I get to create & "work" w. beautiful flowers; one of the things I love so much & one of the joyful parts of creating & sharing my work w. others. But this whole social media thing is weird right, the world is weird & broken right now -- as creatives seems like are new age question is "do I post this pretty picture when this is really happening right now?! but it's also kind of my job to put my work out there for others to see, right?!" ... but I’m learning, funny enough, by some inspiring women on this platform, it's ok to feel all these things while also sharing the joyous, cool & helpful things we are all working on, creating & hoping to bring into this world. Life is filled w. beautiful & sad moments, happiness, joy, grief, fear, doubt, love. All the tiny things🤍

& if anyone watched last night's This is Us, how beautiful was their telling of one's final moments, looking back at life. Ugh my heart😢
There’s one word to describe the first full even There’s one word to describe the first full event of the season…ethereal🤍

Event season is in full swing & it’s nice to finally step aside from planning to bring all the ideas, time & details to life!
“We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, “We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, rising & falling into our weathered souls…” - Angie Weiland-Crosby🌼

May is the start of a busy few months of events, so I’m going to make sure I prioritize Rest whenever I can. But also plenty of garden days, living & cherishing simple moments — because when the busy days will feel like a blur or the state of the world (big/small) only adds to the mental drain, I know these will be the things that keep me going🤍
Wishing @vanessa_elizete & Al a very happy anniver Wishing @vanessa_elizete & Al a very happy anniversary🤍my how time has flown, here’s to many more celebrations of love…
