It's been awhile since I've browsed a bead store. I've been on a bead shopping hiatus - trying to actually use up something before I go buy more plan.
This week, I've managed to get into two of my favorites again.
This afternoon, I was in the Twisted Jeweler in Fayetteville and snagged some opalite. I figured what the heck - I've never bought opalite and it was a steal -buy 1 strand - get 2 free!
On Saturday, I spent the day at Ornamentea... but that will be another post :) Before I left, I was stocking up on cool stuff like this Toggle Clasp from Elaine Ray Beads and
a raw brass sea horse. I can already see what colors he'll looks great with in my overflowing collection of nugget-sized mother of pearl beads.

Wonderful finds!!! I love opalite. It makes me think of summer...which I am very much looking forward to! ~Val
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you make with the toggle - I'd love to see it and post a link.

What are you going to do with that seahorse? I love that. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Please post a picture when you do.
