mmmm, beads...

No lampwork beads were made last night...a particularly unruly little two year old made sure of that. But that is okay, because today made up for it by way of new gemstone and mineral beads!

My friend, Cathy, made a trip to her bead guy in Ponchatoula, LA the same weekend I was in New Braunfels. She acted as my buyer (how hoity-toity a jewelry designer does that make me? I have a "buyer!") and did such a fab job. Here's what she purchased for me:



Last night I told Lynn I was going to have to make a trip down to Dallas to pick up some more pink stone beads for a special order. This morning he got online and found a wholesaler that I didn't know about until today. Oh my word, I was in heaven. I didn't go hogwild like I wanted to because I knew Cathy's package would be at the house when we made it home. That is not to say I didn't splurge a little though. Here's my haul:



Now I have no excuse but to spend Super Bowl Sunday making jewelry. Can't wait to get started!
