Hello!

Oh my gosh... RCB is totally turning
into the Place to Be.

Haw! It always was......it's just that some folks didn't know it.

As for the young retiree part, you're not alone there either. I retired at
38 due to massive health problems, and there are lots of us "disabled but
beading away" people here in RCB.

That's right. I retired at 32.

I always knew it was the Place to Be.

My name is Jane-I've been reading the RCB for
almost a month now-sometimes replying to posts, and not being able to
figure
out where they went! Just the other day, when I answered Dr Sooz's
question
about a dream project, I finally figured out you had to click on the
little
+ symbol to see what other people had written!! Wow-do I feel sheepish?!
And
I am the one in my family who has used the internet the most! Just goes to
show you can always learn something new...
Which is why I searched out RCB-I am 33-and have been
stringing/weaving/wiring beads for about 17 years-and I love to share
ideas
with other people. I live in Cary NC, which is right outside Raleigh, and
I
am originally from Charlotte, NC. I worked as a Fine Arts merchandiser
when
I first came here(2 1/2 years)-and quit last summer to be with my kids.
Today-I am almost afraid to even mention it, lest I don't get it, but here
goes-I am going to interview at the premier bead store in the
triangle-Ornamentea.(Bedizen) Please, may I ask that you keep your fingers
crossed? I'll need blessings, especially if I get it-to make sure I don't
give them my paycheck back every week after spending all of it on beads!!
Someone asked if I had any wreaths/crowns to show-not really-all
I
have ever imagined would cost a fortune I don't have at this time-but I do
think someday I would like to make up a few and try to sell them to Bridal
shops in the area...my attempts so far have only been with dough
flowers-for
my daughters-which are sweet and lovely-but not exactly the shiny and
glittery things of my imagination. I have made a few masks that are up in
the store I used to work in-I should go and get a picture of them, I
forget
the camera every time I go.
When I was in high school I apprenticed with a silk
doll-maker named Caty Carlin-and that has been a big influence on the rest
of the story...I'll stop babbling for now-and come back later to let you
know how the interview went...I am afraid to even tell my husband-he knows
I
LOVE beads-but the plus side of the job is that there are
benefits(although
it's a small business-it's owned and run by women) and I think the
environment is excellent...we shall see!

Agh - I NEED that t-shirt!! (ok ok so we all need it)

Welcome! Just wanted to pop in and say hello. I checked out
Ornamentea's website, and found a cool mug and t-shirt that I wanted
to let everyone here know about:

It looks like a cool place, and I hope you get the job. And I hope you
have money left on each and every payday :-)

Welcome Jane, glad you unlurked to join in the fun.

With regard to this:

crossed? I'll need blessings, especially if I get it-to make sure I don't

I'll willingly give my blessings but really, there's not much hope. I work
part time in a fabric store. I sew. When the new season stock comes in I'm
completely crazed. I get a good discount which is just as well, I don't
leave my entire pay cheque at the store.

One of the best things about working in the bead store will be that you have
something in common with customers right away. I find this to be the case in
the fabric store. I don't sell so much as act like a 5 minute best friend.
Every day is fun.

Good luck and I hope you get the job.
