K. and I recently went to the annual Rings & Things Bead Tour when it stopped by in Tampa. For beading fanatics, it’s like being a kid in a GIGANTIC candy store. I go with a budget, because if I didn’t, I would be in BIG trouble 🙂
Here’s what I came home with:
It makes me want to drool when I look at them 🙂
Here’s what caught my eye the most (above, left to right):
– Natural agate, 8mm rounds
– Red striped agate, 20x30mm puffed rectangles
– Cappuccino jasper, 25x35mm puffed ovals
– Carnelian, 8mm faceted rounds
– Paua, 16mm squares
– Rhodonite, irregular slabs
– Rhodonite, 8x12mm puffed ovals
– Cherry quartz, 16x20mm faceted puffed ovals
– Amethyst, teeth
– Amethyst, irregular nuggets
– Amethyst, chips
– Yellow jade, pebbles
– Olive jade, pebbles
*sigh* I get warm and tingly all over when I look at them.
They’ll be showing up soon in phone charms in my Etsy shop, Cell Chic, so be sure to drop by for a look.
You got a lovely selection; very colorful too. I love the coral beads; especially the ones that are striated. 🙂
