Bead and Button Stash

Still trying to catch up on blogging.  Bead and Button was a whirlwind of activity, not the least of which was shopping.  So let the hoarding begin.....

From my favorite bead store...Bead Paradise...

Dutch made milky glass African trade beads from the 1700's

Very old amazonite...I looked at this strand all week long...then finally bought them.  The strand is amazing. Check out the large beads at the center of the strand.
