is a couple hundred dollars worth of beads.
The glass seed beads, which are my staple:
The EGE spent a couple evenings last week going through the bead drawers and listing what I had so I wouldn’t duplicate. I did anyway. Some colors I just can’t resist in those little tubes.
Dyed pearls:
Smaller dyed pearls for sewing on fabric ($50 worth):
The dyed coral looks good with the glass beads I got in the antique store in Eastland:
Not a lot to show for a lot of shopping, is it?

Ooohhh, but how pretty! It's hard to walk by a bead store!

I'll tell you a little secret...you can dye your own pearls with Rit dye. I've done it. You just have to find the pearls that are of the same surface consistency as the ones you just bought. Hard to find at Michaels, but easy to find at a good bead shop/show. I used to do it for belly dance costumes.
so yummy!
and you know you will use them (I am helping you justify pretty beady-beads!)

Beautiful.
Bless the EGE. Between inventorying your beads and being willing to stop to look at horny toads, he's a gem of a man.
