Sorry, AnitaT, I didn''t manage a pic of your Tacori setting, or your VanCraynest, but they were both lovely.

Anyone else, feel free to share your pics from today! Thanks for coming out and contributing your sparklies and your smiles!!! Hope to see you all again soon!!!

 

[Fly Girl]

Looks like everyone had a great time! Thanks for sharing the pics with us.

 

[AGBF]

Wonderful pictures! Especially of you women...you are a great looking bunch! It makes me afraid to attend any gathering. You are all decades younger than I am!!!

Ditto-it was so much fun meeting everyone! Thanks so much for organizing and taking and posting pics, vc10um! I hope I can make it to the next GTG!

And Deb I''m sure you''ll fit right in-PSers are a good looking bunch no matter what their age! Plus I would love to meet you and see all your gorgeous Gurhan pieces!

(And I''m sure everyone else would too!)

 

[vespergirl]

Hey guys, I''m so sorry that I missed it today, but it looks like you had a great time, and I am really looking forward to the Tyson''s GTG soon! Can''t wait to meet you ladies!

 

[cellentani]

And in case any of you are interested, the next Intergem show is February 19-21. I will most definitely be trying to go, probably on Friday.

 

[Skippy123]

You all are such beautiful ladies and beautiful jewelry!!! Looks like a great time!!!

 

[AnitaT]

LOL-- I was just visiting the Intergem website myself! Today''s GTG was lots of fun and, for me, informative. I appreciated everyone''s suggestions about gemstone vendors for my new Tacori project. Visiting TJB with PSers is the way to do it. We browsed and delved into details about jewelry with the sales associates. I was able to stare at the pieces and dream

. However, the real fun, in my opinion, happened at the restaurant

. What a treat to see everyone''s gorgeous pieces in real life!

 

[vip0802]

i had such a wonderful time with these lovely ladies! it was so great to finally see the faces matching up with the screen names.

the sales associates at TJB were so kind to let our little group browse and try things on! John(?) was a hoot and did anyone catch his right hand rings? he was definitely a ring-stacker lover like me.

i agree with AnitaT - the real fun was at the restaurant with all of us just passing around gorgeous sparklies! i can''t wait until the next GTG!

vc10um - thanks so much for organizing and the photos! it was a great idea!

i''m still upset that i didn''t bring my camera, but i did get a crappy iPhone pic of cellentani''s gorgeous ring collection.

this woman has amazing taste!

 

[iheartscience]

Yay! I was hoping someone got a picture of cellantani''s gorgeous roll o'' rings! I''ve been dreaming about her Dan Stair red spess all night...

And there''s AnitaT''s Tacori setting in the background! It was a gorgeous setting-I can''t wait to see it all done!

 

[Clio]

It looks like you all had such fun! I''m hoping I''ll be able to make the next one.

The whole gang...

hey vc10um, would you mind e-mailing me this photo? it''s such a nice pic.

thanks!

 

[winternight]

It was great meeting everyone! I don''t post so much so I was a little nervous about going, but I think we all just got along great! I have to agree that the restaurant was too fun. I''m planning on going to Intergem, just not sure what day yet.

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

I''m so jealous - it looks like you guys had so much fun! Would''ve loved to have met all you lovely ladies!

 

[tropiqalkiwi]

Were any plans made for a gtg in Tysons?

If not, is anyone still interested? There are plenty of good jewelry shops out there, and I''m sure we could find a good restaurant as well!

 

[zoebartlett]

I''m glad everyone had fun! The pics are great! It''s always fun to meet others from PS, isn''t it?

 

[vc10um]

We hadn''t made a plan to GTG in Tyson''s yet, but my winter weekends just exploded on me, so I shrink back from being the organizer. But rest assured I will attend if I can!!!

 

[princesss]

I''m interested. I miss the DC area, and a reason to get back would be nice (other than, you know, friends and all of that).

 

[vc10um]

Just giving this thread a little

to see if anyone wants to take over planning duties and start an InterGem and/or Tyson''s GTG Thread...
