I totally lucked out this year – the housing that I was counting on fell through at the last minute and I seriously thought I wasn’t going to be able to go to Tucson this year.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

Then one night I was reading through my “Tucson Gem Show” Google Alerts and saw a “room for rent” notice from…are you ready…Kate McKinnon!!!<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Yes – that Kate McKinnon – of the books, workshops and http:\/\/katemckinnon.com\/<\/a> <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

This is one of my favorite pieces from her Gallery pages – it “is” Kate – structural with a touch of whimsy. A fine silver castle ring with a move-able sunshade! <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Kate is known for her book Structural Metal Clay…but keep your eyes open for her latest from Interweave Press – due out this Spring.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

$\"\"$ <\/div>\n

…and as if that weren’t enough Greg Ogden and Andrew Thornton are also staying here – they are in town to represent Green Girl Studios <\/a>(Cynthia just had baby number two and is at home<\/a>) at the Too Bead True Blue and Tucson Bead Shows.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Did I mention that we are 2 blocks from that show and about 10 minutes from all the others…great location!<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

OK – just had to gush for a minute -this house is FAB! Good Night!<\/div>\n
