Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 She applied for collection assistant and my boss didn't like her but said the decision was mine to make. I took her and a little 18 yr old and they were the best collectors I ever had working with me. My friend went back to Alaska since her Mother's health is failing and the 18 yr old married and left the state. I hear from them both all the time. Bonnie in Alaska as made me beaded earrings with porcupine quills when they have been ejected, the pocrcupine is never harmed, she weaves beads between the quills. She has sent me some of the most gorgeous ocean glass that's washed ashore from broken bottles, glass fishing balls, etc. I have bowls of it. She made me a Ulu knife, etc..............Donna Jenni Billings <jenni wrote:that sounds like an amazing story... could make a great book =) How did you meet your her, Donna?
