Bead Soup Arrival



As it's well known, I'm one of the 200 participating in Lori Anderson's 5th Bead Soup Blog Hop, and my partner is Jennifer Cameron of Glass Addictions!!!!

Ok, I won't fill this post with "fluff", and I'll get down to the good stuff...the beads!!!!

Do you know how hard it is to refrain from opening the goodies long enough to get a decent picture??  Complete torture!!

And the sweet card Jennifer enclosed...cute color combination to boot!

A Green Girl Studios pewter starfish toggle clasp... LOVE!!

The focal and accent beads...more utter and complete LOVE!!!  I seriously have had to hide them from The Mr...as he's more than ready to sneak one to use on his bracelets...and believe me, that's a MAJOR compliment!! 

Jennifer's focal and gorgeous blue kyanite...probably one of my favorite stones to work with!!

The supporting cast:  Amethyst, blue kyanite, labradorite, czech, and cultured pearls!!


A few "group" shots...

Amazing, right?  I can't wait to dig in!!
