sold!!

we spent the day at the shop today

and it was slow due to all the rain

yes it poured almost all day!!!

if you were here on a cruise ship on that day

then i apologize for all the rain!

we had decided to close up shop

when a couple came in from australia

i showed her around the shop.

i showed her this piece.

it wasn't cheap

cost 35.00

i told her the artist, yourgin, had said that it was really a show piece

and he couldn't budge on the price 

just wanted people to see how beautiful it was.

she said,

it is lovely 

so lovely

in fact 

i want it!

sold!!!

the proud new owner!

it is lovely isn't it?

to be honest i am sad to see it leave the shop as i would often

walk to the window, hold it up to the light

and admire the colors of the blue and the streaks of iron pyrite

weaving its way through the stone

this was handcarved and polished by yourgin..

one of the many beautiful pieces of work 

in the made in roatan shop.
