Home...with new beads!

I'm back from a buying trip for a few days, and then I'll be running off to do the Knot Just Beads show in Milwaukee, WI.

How was the buying trip? Um.

Amazing.

I bought nearly 100 lbs of beads.

I am not exaggerating.

Most of it is glass, some of it is vintage. I haven't even begun to unpack the other 50 lbs of beads I bought the week before. I am swimming in beads. I'm hoping to have some of the new stuff at the WI show, and it should be all up in the eBay store/Etsy shop fairly soon.

Some of it might be up a little sooner because I found some old favorites, which you might recognize below:


From left to right: druzy agate geode slices, turitella agate, amethyst nuggets, silver needle agate, sunstone nuggets, lodalite quartz, grossular garnet, ammonites, amethyst slices, laguna agate

I thought I would never see those gorgeous faceted lodalite quartz beads, and the beautiful turitella agate flat beads as well! This is awesome. I will definitely be restocking and listing new stuff all month. I can't wait!

Y'know, now that you mention it...wow. Yeah, I have really gone crazy this summer. But this is good--I have three bead shows in the next couple weeks, so I did need some new inventory. :) Let's hope everyone else likes these new beads, too!!
