September came and went and I did not send out a newsletter. Hard to believe how many emails I got about that. Seemed by the time I got around to it, it was the middle of September.

Lots of new stuff added and a few changes have been made to make it easier to order from the website.

Since the last newsletter (8/7/2002), I've add 149 new items -- 86 in just the last 30 days.

The letter combinations we picked are based on the most common letter groups they are.
- 10 each A
- 8 each E
- 6 each I L N O R S T
- 5 each D K M U Y
- 4 each B C F G H J P V W
- 2 each X
- 1 each Q and Z

For those of you that ordered these in the first two days you got a real-deal. I had reversed the prices.

They have a "cats eye" look to them and are sometimes called by that name. Check these out... »

I have added a line of Marcasite and Sterling Silver Beads and pendants to my inventory. Most of these are handmade in Thailand. Great workmanship and design. 925 silver encrusted with sparkling faceted cuts of marcasite in an intricate design. Marcasite is often faceted into small rose cuts and was popular in Victorian jewelry. It is whitish to brassy yellow. Gradually darkens on exposure to air. Full Product Line.. »

If you can believe all the hype these things will align the planets and let you live forever. Who knows? They are pretty cool.
