Saturday I spent some time running around town trying to find some components and went to two bead stores which I’ve never visited. The first store wasn’t that great for me and since I’m not one to trash a reputation, the store will remain nameless. The second store, however, was a much more pleasant experience.
If you ever get the chance to do so and live in the local area, stop by Colorbeads of Roswell. Not only do they have a great selection of mineral stones, they have lovely higher end gemstones. As a matter of fact, they also happen to be doing a 50% off sale right now and of course I couldn’t just walk away empty-handed:
From top to bottom: Carnelian faceted twist ovals, Prehnite diamond kites, Iolite faceted coins, Quartz faceted heart briollettes, Moonstone faceted rice, Citrine faceted square pendants
From top to bottom: Quartz faceted rectangle, Labradorite heart pendant, Smoky Quartz faceted rectangle
I’ve hardly broken into the strands from my previous purchasing spree. So that’s it! I’m doing a self enforced moratorium on non-necessary purchases until the end of the year! Hah…let’s see how long that lasts…
