Went to the Ashmolean

I went to the Ashmolean museum this morning... it is odd to see things in person that you've seen in an art history book. I love the seal stones... little gemstones set in rings or just as beads that have a design carved into them that you press into wax to place your seal on something. They had thousands of them and they are beautiful... such detail! I want one now... though I have no idea why I would ever need one or if I would ever use it. I also went across the way from the Museum to buy my ticket to the Chopin concert tonight. Several people are going to come and I am really excited about it. I am not sure if I should dress up or not though. Today's attire is pretty spiffy except for the boots-silk blouse and green slacks with work boots- so I guess I should be ok. Now I am going to the market to browse a bit more.
