Coming Soon to Your "Neck" of the Woods...

Like a kid before Christmas, dreaming of beads I had yet to touch.

All in eager anticipation of the Denver Bead Show.

Couldn't afford Tucson.

Had to wait

and wait

and wait some more. Oh so impatient.

And then...

Oh happy day!!!!

It's Sunday and

my bead stash has tripled. In short, it is ginormous. Pardon if that isn't a word.

New Thai Tribe silver, rustic wooden lime green, boho brown and candy apple red. Caramel orange and lovely lapis blue.

Turquoise. Turquoise and more turquoise.

Ancient silver rounds and clasps.

And then there are the pendants...

Pendants that make me ache to match them with glorious beads of all shapes and sizes.

All coming home to roost.

All coming soon to your "neck" of the woods.

My background photo log wasn't ready for the invasion: Brown and dull and shabby.

Add beads - and POOF all is colorful, creative and rich.

Had I only known this all my life, I'd have avoided all those pitfalls and pity parties.

When Janet's down and out, give her beads.

Let her play in them to her heart's content.

Let her be with her beads.

Aaaahhhhhh....
