"Earring gauge" should be 21 gauge. If it's half hard or dead soft you SHOULD be able to wrap it. I re-read your post where you say, " I purchase my earwires so the guage is thick. I just can't seem to wrap the wire around because it is too hard?" Am I understanding that you are using the earring wires instead of regular

IF I cook, our menu is similar to Courtney and Cat's. The only way you can get anyone in our family to budge on the menu is to bring in a new in-law who has something from THEIR traditions. We're stuck in a BIG rut in our family. The longer this thread goes on, the more I'm thinking about doing a small turkey (Mike wants ham) and the fixings

People ask "Do you do classes?" and I tell them what classes we offer, explain what this class is or what that class includes for the price, show them samples from the classes and more.

Normally, I love the holidays - but this year we have so many issues because of my mother, her health and her stubbornness, that I'd rather just skip them altogether. It won't be a happy season this year - regardless of what we decide to do. <sigh> Deb

My menu is very simple - whatever the restaurant is serving! We did Thanksgiving with my mom at her caregiver's home last year. Quite the "non-event". We have been talking about having a Thanksgiving Day party at the store and inviting a bunch of our friends, but so far, we're just talking. I'd be just as happy having Big Macs

Cat - what size leather? 2mm? Suede/latigo? "Large" hole is subject to interpretation - a hole as large as a pony bead or a crow bead? I'll check in my stash at home, but it looks like Billy might have it covered for you. Keep me posted. Deb - I saw your e-mail, but figured I might as well answer here.

I'm not an expert in vintage costume jewelry repair, but I often have customers who come in and need to replace a missing rhinestone. DH Mike glued one back on a man's ring almost 5 years ago and he still comes back a couple of times a year and says, "See, it's still there!" When I replace rhinestones (without prong settings),
