about 3/4 down the page The only stockist I have found so far is in UK and the cost to buy and ship to Australia is
about $23AUS - which is a bit steep even for a fanatic like me! If anyone knows where I can buy a pattern for a
better price I would really appreciate a link. TIA[/quote:3134b6dd97]

Thanks Pat. I got that far too, but could not find Twisted Threads in the internet - and ringing is not really a
viable option from down here. At least not for a single pattern. I will sit up until the middle of the night and pay
overseas rates to chat to my friends, but not to try to order a single wall hanging pattern lol. The one and only
time I considered doing an order this way I got a very confused woman on the phone who finally admitted she had only
been working in the shop for three weeks and she really didn't know what she was doing. But she only admitted this
after about 20 minutes. I gave up on that order and said I hoped she had a nice day, and hung up. I now make it a
rule NOT to ring overdeas to order. If they can't take an order by email (I don't have my fax hooked up anymore) I
usually just look elsewhere or manage without. It's not like I can't live without another pattern lol I just
thought someone might have seen the pattern, that's all. -- Cheryl & the Cats in OZ o o o o

Posted by Anonymous on Tue Jun 13, 2006 9:59 PM Post subject: Re: recommendations?
not only that...it won't be all that expensive. turkey is still a relatively inexpensive country. and lovely, kind,
tolerant, hospitable people (just stay away from the city!!) i'm putting together a website...just got my new digital
camera so i can update what i had before my old one died!! here's my ad from Craigslist before i thought about offering
a residential glass course. Off the beaten path I have a small fully furnished two-storey guesthouse attached to my
main house in a very small untouristy Turkish village. It is available on a reservation-basis for long-weekends or
longer stays. It has a private entrance, small bathroom with shower, kitchen and dining area, a bright sunny sitting
room with a fireplace, attic bedroom with twin beds and a terrace with a lovely view all the way to the Greek island of
Mytilini although the coast is 10KM away. It's very simple, quaint and very cosy. I'm looking to let this guesthouse
to someone who wants/needs to get away from the hectic pace of the city, perhaps an artist, writer or professional who
craves nature, peace and quiet (albeit with the sound of sheep bells and the occasional donkey). It would be a good idea
if you were an animal lover since my cat is fond of visiting that part of the property and my dogs (2 boxers and a
boxer-mix) although not free to roam, are segregated from the guest house, but do inhabit the back garden and will be
'curious' to see a new face on the terrace. I have an ADSL connection for your laptop, 24/7 hot water and all the good
clean oxygen you can breathe! Meals can be provided at a nominal cost so you get all the benefits of a holiday OR, you
can fix meals for yourself. It's your choice. Please, this is a conservative area and heavy drinking is frowned
on...although we do occasionally have some wine with a meal. If I'm not bogged down with work, I can even show you some
local places of interest that are definitely NOT on the normal tourist routes. Otherwise, I suggest you bring a car
because we're far from all shopping areas and local transportation is irregular at best. We can discuss your needs. Get
in touch. Contact me via email to discuss terms and availability. Stone Owl Cottage - the best place to get away from it
all. Original URL: http://istanbul.craigslist.org/apa/148681747.html Lauri Levanto wrote:

snowed in without electricity!!! that was very hard to deal with! but since then, i've been a bit manic about
multiples!! the nearest supermarket is 35 miles away, over hill, over dale, winding mountain roads...so when i do go, i
stock up. and moonraker is definitely a great teacher..with tons of patience and tolerance for my dumb questions... i
am looking around for a good ceramic core iron now from the US (my transformer is here and i believe it will work
fine)...i also will eventually invest in a Weller 100P... I may try to offer a 'residential' short course for
visitors..(tourists from abroad) and let them stay in my guesthouse while providing 25 hours of instruction and studio
time...it's a really neat idea whose time has come...having multiples of everything...(including soldering irons) makes
a lot of good sense in this case as well. thanks you all for your encouragement...i feel as if i've got a new lease on
life... ar. the 'goddess of glass'!! FlameNwind wrote:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::APPLAUSE!!!:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Wow, Moonraker!! That is the
BEST explanation of electricity I have ever read! And, unlike texts and classes that I had to take while getting my A+
certificate in computers...I didn't fall asleep once! If you don't teach, you have missed your calling. Really,
Arlene, if you are still confused after that incredibly well constructed explanation, you might want to get a local
electrician's help over there to set up your studio and do what Moonraker suggests...buy American! Also, I think
Michele's suggestion that you "stock up" is really solid. I never lived in Turkey (although with Moonraker's
instruction, I think I could deal with the difference in the delivery of electricity now!), but when I lived in the
wilds of Maine where we were "snowed in" for months at a time, I learned the value of having multiples of
everything that would be difficult to live without until we could get dug out, plowed out, and take the trip to Bangor
(nearest big city) to re-stock. Can't imagine not having back-up soldering irons! Sounds like this is quite the
adventure you have taken on there, Arlene! Wish you the absolute best in resolving the challenges! Lori Interesting
idea the "residential" course. I work with warm glass and never tried my hands on stained glass. Could be a
good excuse for a holiday in Turkey -lauri[/quote:25ffa5f103]
