whatever is on your mind this blog is moderated by jamie yocono owner of wood it is custom cabinetry in las vegas nv her website is wooditis com if you need to speak to an actual human call 702 672 8981 now let s talk wood saturday june 22 2024 shopping in chinatown we have a terrific chinatown here in las vegas so big in fact that there is a second one developing on the south side of town i m more than thrilled some of the best produce you will find are at the various asian and hispanic markets here in town their prices are way better than the big box grocery stores and better yet the variety is ridiculously diverse i needed rice the other day and decided to head to sf market in the heart of chinatown sure i could buy rice at costco but then i d miss all this grocery diversity and yes there are many asian grocery stores to choose from 99 ranch is one of my favorite greenland too which is a funny name for a store in at the korean town mall but i was on a mission for rice and two people told me that sf market has the best prices so that was that enter the store and to the right is a well stocked produce department i mean this aisle features more varieties of bok choy than i ve ever seen it s hard to tell by this photo but these strawberries were almost the size of tennis balls heading over to the refrigerated cases the sprout section was impressive and their mushroom selection is ridiculous i m assuming that some restaurants must shop here as their prices rival those of wholesale food purveyors and i mean who needs a five pound bag of cleaned garlic i don t know of too many stores that sell duck eggs ok i went a little overboard in their noodle department but then when i rounded the corner and found the ramen aisle i thought i was in heaven need rice i picked up a bag so large i had to buy several oxo containers to store it like most other asian stores they have a live seafood section and will clean and cook your selection tbh i can t handle choosing a live fish and then watching it die so i never buy live fish but need a lobster or some fresh catfish this place will hook you up this store is only about 12 minutes from my house so it s pretty convenient to shop there makes me happy posted by wood it is at 4 57 pm 1 comment wednesday june 12 2024 pics from the jewelry and gem show there is never a lack of things to do here in las vegas personally i am looking forward to the star trek convention later this summer but meanwhile this caught my eye a friend had told me that she and her hubby fly to phoenix for the gem mineral and jewelry show so when i saw that there was one coming to vegas i immediately signed up and i had no idea what to expect it was held at the world market complex a huge campus right in the center of town this was built almost 20 years ago and is home to many furniture showrooms with 315 000 square feet of showroom space seriously it s huge back when it was first built entrance was strictly controlled you could only stroll the aisles if you had a business license and were involved in the furniture industry i went there when it first opened and was shocked when i visited a showroom of a chinese furniture manufacturer who was selling whole bedroom sets for less than what the materials would cost here seriously i looked at a 8 piece bedroom set for around 1100 and did some quick math in my head just the materials for that set would have run me around 2500 and the quality was decent not great but certainly reasonably well made so it was a bit of deja vu when i walked into one of the conventional halls to see what all the fuss was about the gem and jewelry show first off rows and rows of jewelry not my jam but there were a decent amount of people buying it appeared most were private individuals not owners of jewelry store seriously anything jewelry wise that you wanted was probably there to be honest my eyes started to glaze over all the rings earrings and necklaces on display i mean thousands of them it was definitely a sensory overload so i headed over to the tables that didn t have jewelry and ran into a local fellow who was keenly interested in these knives on display he was a knife maker and gave me a quick tutorial on the types of antlers used for these knife handles i fell in love with the next booth selling these amazing laser cut pop up greeting cards they had dozens and every one was better than the one before i bought a few and since i was listed as a buyer on my badge i got them wholesale who doesn t love a discount then things got serious and i started walking down aisle after aisle of gems rocks basically some polished some in raw form it took a minute for me to understand the pricing everything was sold by weight amethysts seemed to be one of the more popular stones but opals seemed to be a close second there were rows and rows of tchotchkes like these skulls and more this photo is out of focus but i loved the texture of this photo and then i found the real gems both literally and figuratively these amethyst geodes were amazing and the people at this booth were highly motivated to sell sell sell this book matched set reminded me of fallopian tubes when i said that the salesman he looked at me with a blank stare you couldn t sit in this couch as it was guarded by security but it sure didn t look comfortable around the corner from the couch was where i thought it started to get really interesting gem and stone dealers it s amazing to see all of this in one setting most bins had the price per gram listed on it and then each piece had their weight i fell in love with this peruvian blue opal and chose two matching ones upon weighing them and then calculating my wholesale discount this stone came to just under 30 i had them put two aside for me until i could come up with a reason to buy them a little further up the aisle this booth caught my eye i fin t really see how it fit into the classification of gems or jewelry but i liked their sense of humor this huge alien sculpture would look great in my back yard but oy vey it was pricey i loved their alien pieces their wildlife was pretty great too honestly cactus joe s has better work more variety at a much better price point finally there were a few pieces of furniture crafted from stone or petrified wood there was a huge skull display i guess there s a huge following for these pieces but i didn t think they were anything special reminded me of the stuff you d see in a head shop in the 70s or 80s good times on my way out right by the exit i found what might have been my favorite booth and it felt like a nostalgic attraction these wares reminded me of driving across country with my family as a kid stopping at many small gas stations spanning the now historic route 66 or stopping at a stuckey s which always advertised their pecan rolls and native american crafts who doesn t remember those signs for stuckey s all up and down the highway this booth was filled with some very nicely crafted wares and he had a fascinating background these small beaded purses were superb and i was particularly fond of the maracas this turquoise inlay was just one of many inlaid pieces in his booth and then the exit appeared and it was time to head home would i attend again i m not so sure the wares there were definitely not my jam but it was an interesting way to spend an afternoon and with free parking free admittance and tons of icy air i could think of a lot worse ways to spend a few afternoons ps i ended up not going back for the opals i just couldn t come up with an idea for incorporating them into my furniture and couldn t justify spending 60 on two stones that would probably sit in a drawer forever aita posted by wood it is at 2 33 pm no comments
