ReplyDeleteooooooooo gosh, this is amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis actually makes me kind of hungry looking at all of those great beads. Maybe that has to do with how much of an appetite one could work up doing all of that hard labour bead shopping.

ReplyDeleteYou are such a great shopper! Next time please buy doubles and send me half! (Commmmissionn!!) I've never seen little faceted turquoise like that, and all the jaspers, I feel a little sick, that must be how envy feels. Do have fun and show everything!
