Going to school! - as well.
I really never mentioned it because well, I was kinda shy about it.. but...
I decided to go back to school. I'm going to be taking history and taking on a role as a jeweller's apprentice. I have decided I am so much in love with my antiquing that I want to be an appraiser and antique dealer. I'll be spending much of my time in my favourite shops learning the difference between a Louis the XII and a Louis the XIII chair (and yes, that makes me happy)!
I'm also taking side classes in Business Law, Investing in the Share Market and Jewellery Making.
I plan on my areas of expertise to be furniture, clothing, jewellery and mechanics.
A lot on my plate...
but...
I start my side classes next month and I go back to school in August!
;D ;D ;D

Re: Going to school! - as well.
Congrats - fantastic!!
It all sounds very interesting and fun!
I did very basic silver smithing about hmm 20 years ago, lol - I loved it. If you ever want a bunch of scrap sterling silver to melt down and start afresh with let me know, I have a good handful or two maybe three of it which Ive been wanting to get rid of but dont like to just throw out.

Of COURSE I would like that!! Did I ever tell you I used to do jewellery making? I can melt that down and make you something with it and then make myself something as well. Teehee. ^-^
Ahhh I love this kind of stuff. Silver, wood, jewellery...
Re: Going to school! - as well.
Fabulous - no I didnt know that.
I have slowly but surely been throwing out / giving away the bulk of what I own over the last 2 years and the silver has been bugging me for ages. Its yours!
I love craft but I dont feel its where my life is right now - not jewlery making anyway. Im all about reducing my belongings to 2 suitcases so I can travel like a vagrant :-D
Re: Going to school! - as well.
Pft, well you're not wandering like a nomad without me being able to give you a shiny bit I crafted myself for you to remember me! (and probably think, 'oh god why am I keeping this again?')

Congratulations, Lil! Glad you're doing something that will make you happy. ;D
Re: Going to school! - as well.
Congratulations on going back to school. I am currently a 13th-year Senior at the University of MN. I got some time off from my job to go to school full-time and I'll be finishing up next Spring. Kind of weird being a 30-year old college student, but on the other hand, it's pretty cool.
Currently taking International Relations, Philosophy and Cultural Diversity, and Astronomy. Next Semester is all Asian Language/Literature classes.
Re: Going to school! - as well.
Congrats, LM. I hope it works out for you.
Re: Going to school! - as well.
Congratulations, Lilith--way to go!
