Ginger's Journal...: Shopping in Guadalajara
http://gingerthacker.blogspot.com/2009/04/shopping-in-guadalajara.html
Just a personal journal of the goings on in my life. Wednesday, April 1, 2009. Lauri, as you know, has a gallery here in Ajijic, and she does most of her buying for the store in Guadalajara. She also takes clients to Guadalajara for shopping trips. She was taking Barbara today, as well as buying for the gallery, so she invited us to go along. . Imagine "enormous" and double it! I honestly could have gotten lost without Lauri.) The aisles were very narrow and the vendors sat on stools next to their me...

Ginger's Journal...: Made New Friends
http://gingerthacker.blogspot.com/2009/04/made-new-friends.html
Just a personal journal of the goings on in my life. Tuesday, April 7, 2009. It has been another beautiful day in paradise. I hate to even think about leaving! I had taken a Benadryl before I went to bed Monday night, because the post-nasal drip caused me to cough all night the night before. It sure helped me sleep well, but I didn't wake up until 7:30 am Alberto came an hour early this morning (I was barely out of bed). . I had accidentally grabbed the mousse instead of the hairspray! Lauri has two gold...

Ginger's Journal...: Rings from Guadalajara
http://gingerthacker.blogspot.com/2009/04/rings-from-guadalajara.html
Just a personal journal of the goings on in my life. Thursday, April 2, 2009. I talk to my sister, Judy, almost every day. We were talking about jewelry and she wanted to see the rings I bought in Guadalajara. I discovered that taking pictures of silver is very hard to do, as it blurs. This is the best I could do.

Ginger's Journal...: A Day of Pampering...
http://gingerthacker.blogspot.com/2009/04/day-of-pampering.html
Just a personal journal of the goings on in my life. Thursday, April 9, 2009. A Day of Pampering. I have not had a manicure in probably a year and it has been at least 6 months since I had a pedicure. I can't even remember the last time I had a facial. I decided to splurge and have a day of pampering, including a massage. I took the bus early, so I would have time to eat breakfast. I knew I would be in the salon for a minimum of 4 hours. At 10 am I showed up and was ready to be pampered. I had the best p...

Ginger's Journal...: Gallery Shows
http://gingerthacker.blogspot.com/2009/04/gallery-shows.html
Just a personal journal of the goings on in my life. Saturday, April 4, 2009. Lauri and her friend, Barbara, picked me up about 4:30 pm We went to two gallery showings. When we first walked into the gallery, there was a staircase leading to the 2nd floor and the Mariachis lined the stairs. It was quite impressive. I didn't get a picture of them on the stairs, but here are a few of them playing in one of the display rooms. Barbara and Lauri are checking out the carved statues that were displayed.

Ginger's Journal...: My Dichroic Pendant
http://gingerthacker.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-dichroic-pendant.html
Just a personal journal of the goings on in my life. Sunday, April 5, 2009. Lauri brought over the pendant that I made in her class. Here again, I am having trouble taking a picture that doesn't blur. Dichroic glass is difficult to photograph because of the light refraction. Anyway, I'm quite pleased with my piece. What do you think? Posted by Ginger Thacker. April 5, 2009 at 8:43 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). More of the weekend. Create Your Own Reality. Ready, Set, Go . . A Day of Pampering.

Ginger's Journal...: Happy Easter!
http://gingerthacker.blogspot.com/2009/04/happy-easter.html
Just a personal journal of the goings on in my life. Sunday, April 12, 2009. Today has been a quiet day. I sent Easter greetings to family and friends, washed 4 loads of clothes and hung them out to dry, watered all the plants and worked on updating my blog. I was 4 days behind on my blog, so it has taken me most of the day to get it updated. I had lots of pictures to load. Wishing everyone a Happy Easter! Posted by Ginger Thacker.

Ginger's Journal...: Jewelry Day
http://gingerthacker.blogspot.com/2009/04/jewelry-day.html
Just a personal journal of the goings on in my life. Saturday, April 11, 2009. I met Lauri at the galleria and spent several hours with her. She closed about 3 pm and we went to the 1st house sitting house. (She now has a 2nd house where she is looking after the cat while her friend Barbara is in the States.). The following are the ones I made. Sorry about the flash reflection. Jewelry is hard to photograph! Here are the pieces that Lauri made. . The first one isn't quite finished. More of the weekend.

Ginger's Journal...: Galeria Dos Lunas
http://gingerthacker.blogspot.com/2009/04/galeria-dos-lunas.html
Just a personal journal of the goings on in my life. Monday, April 6, 2009. Today I met Lauri at her Gallery in Ajijic. I took the bus for 5 pesos (35 cents US). Her gallery is only open from 10 am to 2 pm Dos Lunas means two moons. She takes in consignment for a lot of artits and jewelry makers. Here are some pictures I took of her gallery. This is a display in the 2nd room. There are some beautiful dichroic glass plates. This is one wall in the 1st room with jewelry displays. When we left Lauri's galle...
