Do you keep a bead inventory?
Now with hind sight I wished I had.
I have just been rummaging behind my beading desk to see if I could find the wire knitter that I have. I pulled out a box and in are 31 vintage crystal necklaces with a total of 48 strands. These were antique fair finds. I got to be known as the lady who was always looking for crystal beads. Stall holders would keep them for me and I felt compelled to buy. I hated to disappoint them by refusing. The prices were always good, only a few pounds each. I have not been to an antique fair now for about 2 years, In the first instance I started to collect them because I wanted to make a beaded lampshade. Never did make one apart from putting a beaded fringe round a plain cream lampshade. All the other beads I have are in drawers and boxes. I did at one time have drawers labelled with colours, crystals, delica's and so forth. Alas though some drawers got too full and other beads were pushed in. It is a mega search for some of the beads. How I wished I had kept a record of where and when and how much the beads cost when I got them. Also where I put them. Memories plays tricks as one gets older. There still a lot of beads that were in my BFNR still in the drawers. In another box are the beads that I bought in Amsterdam when I met Bart there. He took DH and I to shops that we would never have found If we had been on our own. Still think of you Bart if you are reading this. Hope everyone is okay Hugs Shirley -- Shirley Shone http://www.allcrafts.org.uk |
