I do have some beads to list, but since I haven't photographed them yet, I thought I'd take you on a tour of my latest shopping spree (in no particular order)!These little porcelain hearts are from Nancy, of Round Rabbit Extra. Nancy was my Bead Soup partner, and I just can't resist her work, it seems! Right now, I'm just hoarding them!
This gorgeous little birdie is from LeAnn at SummersStudioEtc on etsy as well. The birdie is so pretty and nice to hold - I have been taking it out of it's little package and just holding it (no, I am not sick - you guys do it too!!!!).
This beautiful butterfly pendant is also from LeAnn. The photo just doesn't do the coloration justice - it is so beautiful, I can't wait to make some beads to match all the colors in it - this one is definitely just for me!
Finally, this beautiful polymer clay necklace from Zu - do you know Zu??? She is at Zuleykha on etsy as well. She lives in England and while her day job is as a professor, she makes these beautiful canes and creations. She also has some tutorials available if you do polymer clay work yourself!

Ok, that was my tour of spending - not too bad, I guess. I was stuck in the house all week because of the large amount of snow we got, so shopping was in order! I have only received my mail twice in the past week. I wonder if I bought anything else????

Ah, Sue, I love that you take that little bird and just hold her. They are very personal to me and created just for that very purpose. You have so many beads that I can see with the butterfly. I know Zu's work and it is incredible. Nancy's hearts are gorgeous and I can see so many ways to use these little beauties. I still can't imagine living with all of the snow you've had. Stay warm and dry.

What beautiful new pieces! I couldn't resist LeAnn's new birds either. :-)

These beads are so beautiful, LeAnn and Nancy are such talented artists. And the colours are gorgeous.
Beautiful collection. I would love to be stuck in the house for a week.

Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not. You may recall my partner was Margot Potter ; click this link to see the blog post I wrote of what she sent me! Here's what I made! Dangly earrings! Come see what the rest of us made! 1.

Puppies!

I just had to include this photo of my friend Beth's new puppies. They are 11 week old Jack Russell Terriers. The smaller one is the runt of the litter, but too cute. They are Libby and Lucy!!! Click on the photo to see them bigger!

Another quick post!

I know, I'm on a roll today. Even though I got a late start, I've made beads, made posts, done some scrabble tiles, now I have to fold some laundry and think about dinner. Just wanted to post a photo and link to the ebay auction of mine that started last night - I like the beads, they have a southwest feel and would make a fantastic focal piece in a bracelet, or a whole bracelet too! You can click on them to go to the auction!
