Adventures

Well, since I'll be gone for two weeks, I decided to try starting early. Unfortunately, things never seem to go quite how I plan. I was elated that I actually knew where the Reston Whole Foods was; in the same plaza as our Michaels! I then proceeded to get lost in my own home town trying to find said plaza that I've been to hundreds of times before.

I'd seen online that Whole Foods carried ostrich and emu, and other types of eggs, so I went to price things out. MY. GOODNESS! They wanted $30 plus tax for one ostrich egg! I think I can get two for that price on eBay! At any rate, they did have a good price on large duck eggs (4/$3), and they had a small case of about 12-15 quail eggs for $6. So, I'll blow those out tomorrow and see where I go from there. The quail eggs are naturally spotted with dark brown patches, so, depending on the designs, I might have to cast them instead. We'll see. Maybe I can integrate the splotches in the design. As for the ostrich and emu eggs, I'm watching several on eBay to get a sense of the prices.

[On a totally unrelated note: thank goodness for strawberry season!]
