I've spent many of the last few weeks making tons of gifts, but I haven't had time to post anything to the blog or ShelyChic Studio on Etsy.
When I stopped to make pieces, I realized I was a bit bored with the ShelyChic stash. I hadn't been bead shopping in ages and was just a few beads short of inspiration...with tons of half-finished projects and many unposted pieces.
Enter...a tiny ad in the local paper promoting a Bead Show at the Expo Center. I was so excited to shop for some new beads that I took an early leave from work on Friday, collected my son early from school and ran across town for a shopping spree.
My son Noble loves shopping for beads. He was delighted when the seller referred to little gems he found on the floor as "pocket beads.") Translation: Noble could collect them and put them in his pocket.)
While Noble rummaged for fallen treasures, I sorted through nearly 2,000 pounds of vintage crystal, handmade buttons, Czech firepolish crystal, Indian beads and gemstones. I picked up some common crystal and a few uncommon finds - including vintage alabaster pearl form beads, West German glass beads and hand-painted glass buttons.
I can't wait to get started on some new projects, but took a few moments (despite the rain) to shoot some existing pieces and post online in the ShelyChic Studio on Etsy.
