Wow, so going there :-)

This is probably the people involved in putting together one of the most intact T-Rex skeletons.

Heard it had been pre-purchased by someone in the LA/Hollywood area and that James Cameron was going to do a film about it. Oh, and that it was going to tour Europe before going to L.A.

|THE GIVING SEASON| Anyone else start their holiday shopping early? I like to start early otherwise I am easily overwhelmed. I know from experience if I start looking around early I am less likely to buy something last minute from a big box store. This year many smaller businesses are still recovering from the last few chaotic years. I guarantee that anything you are able to spend in a small business will be appreciated. The owners and families do a happy dance every time a sale is made. You are the reason why we are here. Thank you for your consistent and solid support. It means the world to us and our local businesses.

For all your October (or Anytime) Opal needs.

So many more here as well.

Responsibly sourced, made and priced.
