We are moving here in a couple of weeks (eek, it's sneeking up on me too quick!!!), and Ken is going to have a study with a full size bed in it. I would like to ask my mother to make a quilt for us for that bed (since the only comforter we have is a grapevine-pattern comforter set that I got...

did you get my email with the pics of what i did with ur beads?? did u like them??? :) alia

Which kind of bead tip are you using? There are the "cup" type, with a hole in the cup to thread through, and the "clamshell" type where the thread passes through a hole in the joint of the clamshell. I find the clamshells a lot easier to use. Also, precious metal ones (gold, goldfill, or...

Where Are You???? hehehehe. World, be warned...Tamie is on her way!!! and she's gonna be mad at me when she finds out all the resources on this group, and all the friends, and how much money she is going to "have" to spend when she finds all the goodies here. Mary

I've had wonderful service from them - have y'all had problems? Their service is fine. I just have a problem with the quality (or lack thereof) of their beads. Patti

Just got a copy of the Mystic Trader catalog and they have some gorgeous semi-precious "eggs" and globes in it. Their website is: www.pacificspiritcatalogs.com Linda2 -- When love is your greatest weakness, you will be the strongest person in the

Good luck Kathy! I've never bought anything from them, but a friend used to get their catalogs and I loved to drool over them! -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com To subscribe to the Beadbimbo mailing list, send a blank email to:

A few weeks ago I bid on some lamp worked beads by June Crawshaw It was her first ebay auction and I was the only bidder. When the packet came there was no stamp on and I had to pay to get the beads from the post office. I rang June and explained, she was full of remorse. Then she remembered that...

Mj, I agree with you . The catalogs are gorgeous to the point that I ALWAYS find stuff I would buy--this is VERY unusual with catalogs and me. Sarajane Sarajane's Polymer Clay Gallery http://www.polyclay.com view my auctions at: http://www.polyclay.com/Collage/auction.htm

Reply: shipwreck-beads.com is great. Original Message: I'm looking for a good place on net to purchace, beads and supplys. I have been to a hundred sites and some look good.

Hi Mary, I'm not in Florida, but I was at a Hancock's Fabrics store yesterday in Des Moines, IA, and they were unloading "team" fabrics. Since most of those stores carry the same or very similar items, maybe you could try there for some of your team's fabric. You could make great curtains, or your...

that's one thing I love about this group, and the thing I missed about being away...the love of this group, and the wonderful things that pop up in BFNR's... Mary -- Joy multiplies when it is shared among friends, but grief diminishes with every division. That is life.

I have found great places to get Delicas, but what about size 6's? I want (need) some silver, copper & gold, to start with. My LBS is ordering some, but I need some to tide me over! Mandy

Hi everyone Here is my problem- I made this necklace with a black string ( not sure exactly what this silk type string is called). I dont know how to finish it, ie put the clasps. I have these spring looking things that I am supposed to put on the ends of the string, but then I am not sure what...

I am new to beading and thinking of starting some sort of part time buisness making bracelets and necklaces to sell at craft shows, etc. I am going to be going to Europe in 3 weeks and I was wondering if anyone knew if I could get any beads cheaper over there, or do you know if any cool stores to...

I don't remember if we have ever had a thread on this, but I'm curious as to what everyone's favorite semiprecious beads are. You know, the ones which end up in the "just for me" box? Mine are charoite, labradorite, and crysocolla. Patti, who is excited because she got into this show she didn't...

I got one recently. Hideously overpriced stuff, nothing terribly original. That said giggle their headquarters are here in Scottsdale and they have one shop in a small retail strip, another one in a recently-opened high-end mall and another one going in at the local Arizona Mills (pseudo...

Well, not all of them, but I have a few more relists AND some new beads up on both auctions. The new beads are two boro beads that I'm really proud of. After a lot of mulling, fiddling with beads and stuff, I decided to just let 'em out in the world by themselves to see what happens. Thanks for...
