Bead and Button provides the greatest opportunity to buy....STASH!!! As if I need anymore...but it's hard to resist all the beautiful things you can find at the show.
 |
| Wooden Buddha beads. I've seen these all over the place and finally broke down and bought some. |
 |
| Buddha close-up....I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille. |
The treasures below are from
Bead Paradise....the best bead store on the planet!! They have a great website. If you can make it to their store you can buy some fantastic baubles on-line.
 |
| Tuareg beads. Lou saw these and instantly asked me to make him a bracelet. |
 |
| Gorgeous old glass |
 |
| Some big metal bead :)) But very cool!! |
 |
| Rubies!!! |
 |
| Old stone stamp |
 |
Silver medallions...two elephants, two horses, and a lion...oh my!!
|
 |
| Baule brass medallions |
One of the coolest things at the show were these drusy shells. I didn't know things like this even existed. It made me think how amazing this planet is...that it can make these gorgeous shells. Found these at Horizon Mineral owned by Joe Jelks...such a nice man!!
 |
| Turquoise from the Kingman mine in Arizona. Summer just cries out for a turquoise bracelet...or two. |
 |
| Sonoran dendritic rhyolite....maybe one day I'll perfect my skills at setting stones. I certainly have a huge stash of cabs. |
More stash later.....Au revoir, bye-bye.
