Dear Listees:

Greetings all. Lots of news to share this week.

TUCSON 2009:

For those of you planning on being in Tucson for the 2009 gem show,  
please stop by and visit me in Room 230 at the InnSuites. We will be  
open from January 31 through February 14. As usual, I will sharing a  
showroom with my good friend Anne Black who recently celebrated her  
tenth birthday. Oh, actually that was her company, sorry  : )    
Anyway, many happy returns to Impactika -- ten years in the world's  
nuttiest business. Congrats.

Details, hours, Yahoo map yourself to our hotel and so on, here:

As always, Anne and I invite you to join us for wine, refreshments,  
music, and generally living the good life every evening at sunset.


Here is our print ad for the 2009 show:

I will be posting more detailed information about the Tucson show, the  
big party, etc., shortly.


LIMITED EDITION METEORITE POSTCARD:

Finally, I'd like to share news of a new collectible meteorite  
postcard with you. I am a great fan of vintage natural history  
illustrations, and I recently created a limited edition Sikhote-Alin  
postcard based on Victorian-era hand tinted mineral illustrations. It  
is called "Eleven Space Sculptures" and you can learn all about it here:

That's it for today. Enjoy the weekend, and thank you for reading.


Cheers from Tucson, the Meteorite Capital of the World,
