darlene Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 WOW, Kathy girl, you shipped out the orders ALREADY!!! I just got my pin! I adore the copper cloisonne! Just beautiful! I'm frustrated that there's no school Monday so I can wear it and field all the "What is that?" questions! Well, a whole Memorial Day weekend off after all those school and district orchestra concerts... I guess I'm not *that* frustrated, BUT...that is one gorgeous replica of the first album!And copper goes with *everything*!!!Thanks for the quick-ship! --Dar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hey Darlene... so there ARE advantages in living JUST up the road from Kathy and Bernie's. We have to wait for some pilot to find his/her way to New Zealand for ours. Still we might beat Marvin yet... Muzza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringer Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I just got my pins, very nice quality. Well worth the costs. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Mine hasn't found it's way to Iowa yet--course our mail can be pretty slow. When I was dating my husband it took a card 10 days to reach him from 160 miles away! Muzza might get his before I do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlene Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 They definiely ARE worth the wait !!! Very beautiful and unique. Thank you Kathy and Bernie !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snazz123 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hi Bernie and Kathy. My pin arrived today and I must add my great thanks to you two for creating this beautiful piece! The copper is so beautiful and the pin hefty - as weighty (in a good way) as Eric's illustrious career. The double pin/backing pieces are necessary given the heft of this treasure.Thanks for drawing my name! For those of you who want to buy this item, I strongly recommend that you do so. You'll be very please with this great keepsake.Bravo! And thanks again!SNazz123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspyrock Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Got 'em and they look fabulous. I also understand why it has double stick-posts on the back -- it does have heft. I already have it on my Raspberries cap. Dare I say I already modified it a little. ( gasps going up now ) Not the front --- don't worry -- just the posts on the back. The posts are longer than the clasps so I cut just a little bit of the posts off w/ a wire cutter and tried to cut at an angle too --- did better w/ one than the other (you may want to get a trained professional to do this). ** Then I put it on the front of the hat, a little off center but the clasps themselves were a bit bothersome so I put it on the side so the clasps are between the outside fabric and the inside hat band. Perfect. Should be less concern about this with lapels on sport coats and other thicker garments/coats.***That's all for Raspyrock tip of the week.*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 No sign of them anywhere here. I think a Customs Official is probably wearing it proudly.Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor4Life Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Got mine today!It's also a bitch to get anything from Canada as well. I ordered a CD from Roger Hodgson's site a couple of weeks ago, and they told me it might take as long as a month due to customs!

marvin Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Yeah I know. My brother-in-law in MN sent my son a Christmas gift in early December, he received it toward the end of January.On the other hand when I send stuff from here to people in the States, they receive it within a week.

Raspbernie Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 We often complain about the U.S. Postal Service, but I gotta tell ya, I had SOOOO many Eric Carmen and Raspberries books returned from Canada without being delivered that I was starting to think I needed to send everything TWICE! Once to get it returned to me and again to actually get it delivered! They seem to be VERY particular on how the customs declarations are made and I understand will even charge recipients fees before allowing delivery of parcels! I hope the pins I shipped to Canada get there safely :-)Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzza Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have just got ours here in New Zealand. Hey Bernie, it might be quicker to send things for Canada to us and we could send them on They are certainly great and well worth the wait Marvin.Muzza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspyrock Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 20 years from now we will be sending it (pins) to the LUNAtic EC/Raspberries fans -- on the MOON and they will still get it before Marvin!!! ... so start working on your NASA Alliance frequent flyer points!!

Muzza Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 You'd be most welcome Marvin. And that would bring a 50% increase in New Zealand board members According to the date stamp on the envelope they were sent on the 24th May and so took 5 days to get here although if you take the date differences its probably only 4 days. That's pretty good service Muzza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumiko Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I haven't got the pin yet,either...And I hope it won't be charged...because CD's which I orderd to Japan had been chaged at almost same price of 1 CD!!I'd better move to NZ !!?? But anyway I look forward to it!!!Again,Bernie and Kathy, thank you very much for the pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hey Kumiko... you'd also be very welcome. Especially as you could make all that delicious Japanese food I have enjoyed during visits to Japan. So the number of New Zealand Board members will increase by 100% Muzza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
