My first bead memory

I am trying to figure out the probability of two active, posting members
of this newsgroup, neither of whom know each other offgroup, both
being from Downers Grove IL.

-Kalera

I KNOW. Isn't this the oddest place? RCB, home of the weird.

I think you're the
first
person who's mentioned the SCA.

Jeanne, Tink's friend (who doesn't post here anymore) is active in the SCA.

Candace?

Cheers,

Mine is that of my mother spending three hours with a pair of tweezers
up my nose, trying to get a square yellow bead out of it, when I was three
yrs
old. *sigh again*

~Candace~

I don't know you terribly well yet, Candace, but I'd have to say that's a
very
Candace introduction to beads......

I would have to agree. Completely. Uhhg.



~Candace~ your local hemp goddess

Yes! I'm pretty sure I had those and I know my sister did (cuz I played
with them!)

On the positive side, I always loved my grandmother's jewelry... she had
lots of nice "paste" pins... a few of which I'm priviledged to own. And
she
loved beaded necklaces.

Mine too! My paternal grandmother was a gorgeous Russian woman who loved
"lady" things. I got most of my sense of being feminine from her. I
loved
dressing up in her costume jewelry, lipstick, and petticoats. I still
have
some of her stuff (though not the lipstick).

But I think my first bead memory has to be pop beads -- those beads that
linked
together and could be pulled apart, POP! We had them in the 50s, and
I'm
sure every generation has had some version of them since then.
