First can I just say that you are just the cutest thing ever!!!! And may I welcome you to the fold. You have officially joined the rest of us and I also need to warn you, it gets worse. Hahaha!!! I think your stash is perfect. You have so much there to work with, which tells me that you are paying attention. You may not have a favorite direction yet, but that being said, some of us never really find it so you are in good company. If you would not mind a little advice from an old hand and a hard core beader? Let me just say this. Your stash will outgrow your space faster than you can even imagine. Do yourself a favor and go thru and clear out items that you know you will never use. There is no real expiration date, so you can opt to keep them forever. What I do when I clear my stash is put together at least a gallon sized baggie with items I no longer want taking my coveted space. Then I will call girl scout leaders, teachers, and others who deal with crafty young people that would use those items and give them away. I do the same with my paints and other things. It helps give them inspiration and something fun to keep our young people creative and occupied. Afterward, you feel so good about giving some stuff to others that you get inspired to create. At least I do. You have wonderful beads. Make some wonderful jewelry or lamp shades or purses or tote bags. You have everything it takes. Trust your instincts. You got this. Thank you for the video and your introduction. Very nice.

❤ your collection thx for the tour

im new to making Handmade jewelry and i plan to sell what i make and all of your beads looks like so much money to me, i dont know if you make stuff to sell all i know is that you could make so much money from all of your beads, it was a fun tour, ive just started buying from bee bee craft because they sell so much that ill be able to make back the money from what i bought from them, ive started with just making earings next i plant to make bracelets and necklaces and then sets, have a good day !

Make suncatchers with the crystals

Well thank you for mentioning that most artists are not totally organized. I needed to hear this badly. I feel so much less alone now. Thank you ❤

❤❤❤ty

i love the white clear drawers you have, i also make jewelry and ive been looking for something like that since the ones i have are too small and barely fit anything, like my restock drawer is filled to the top and i can barely open it can you please give me the brand and size of the drawers you have please?

Yes I do want a more in depth video

I love your bead collection I also really like your first case

こゆきビズです🙂

So glad you are doing well and working hard on being successful. Not an easy road, but in the end, it all pans out. Love every bead you showed. Especially the lampwork beads. Most of the jewelry I make and sell are of those types. Lastly, we all have that ONE CAT!🤣🤣 We look forward to hearing from you soon. Take Care and Congrats!♥❣🤎💓

Love the yellow and reds together. Maybe a 3 strand bracelet or stackers would be nice. Makes me want to head on over to Micheal's right now. LOL!

It sounds like you're very busy, so thanks for taking time to make this video. When life slows down for you, I hope you'll post more. Those beads are indeed Tiger Eye - Golden Tiger Eye and Red Tiger Eye. Those are a great shape. Take care and hang in there!

Just found your channel. Love your taste! Being that this video is from Nov 2021, you might have already looked up the beads you weren't sure of. If not, I think the teardrop and the blue druzy beads are Crazy Lace Agate, but don't quote me on that. I have an app called Rock Identifier that helps me a lot. It's the first and only app I have ever paid for, but it's worth it and a lot of fun to use. I'm gobsmacked that you got those gorgeous big beads for so little! I use big beads pretty much exclusively, so I'm swooning over your finds and totally jealous. Well done! The Dalmation Jasper nugget shape is often called rhombus. I think the Lapis is a higher grade, because of the consistent dark color. The dragon beads... wow. The Turquoise heishi beads (could be African Jasper) are my favorite of your finds. Stunning! I think the 3 big oval beads might be Cherry Blossom Agate. The carved flowers are usually made from Jade. The peach colored bead shape is usually referred to as a smooth rondelle. Heishi have all flat sides and rondelles are rounded. Could be Strawberry Quartz, but most likely Cherry Quartz, which is actually made from glass. I'm not sure what that last green stone beads are, but they're lovely. The polka dot Kazuri beads appear to be bone. I've been buying African glass beads since the 70s and I've never heard of Kazuri. Glad you had that info for us to read. Search KZbin for how African bone, brass, and glass beads are made (particularly Ghana glass beads). Super low tech and incredibly fascinating. I think the star cut beads are Jade and Carnelian. I've never heard of Silverite before, but I'm drooling over that gorgeous color. Very happy to hear a fellow beader use swear words in their videos. Makes me feel at home. LOL! What a fantastic haul!! Glad I found your channel today. Subscribed and will definitely be back.

👍

Congratulations! And good luck a rojo busms

Well what is the price for these lovely beads. ???

Congratulations! How exciting for you! Fun little haul and cute earrings!

Those are really cute earrings!

Beads and cats are the perfect combo! The big downside of compartmentalized storage containers is all the empty space. But they stack and look a lot more organized... tradeoffs. The Dollar Tree (the $1.25 Tree) have 6 or 8 clear round containers with snap on lids. I use these in the plastic drawers you have to organize beads/findings. I like them bc if you store them upside down, it is easy to see the contents. They also sell smaller multi-compartment boxes which are great to store focals. You have a done a great job organizing, especially as you don't have a dedicated craft space. Everyone has their own method, but I would really consider get all my finding together, sorted by metal. It really helps design when you see all you options and it helps with inventory control of things used a lot... head pins, ear wires, toggles, etc... Echo is stunning btw.

What an exciting time in your life! Congratulations on both! 💕💕

I think the black and white ones are zebra Jasper but I'm not quite positive on that

The black and terracotta ones are goldstone. Goldstone is one of my favorites too. Great haul girl! 😍😍

This was great couldn't tell it was your 1st time making something on video!! Love the beads love the earings absolutely gorgeous 😍

The light blueish white ones that you got look like blue crazy lace agate with druzys in them. And oh my freaking HELL!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE those labradorite teardrops! Those are absolutely stunning and they are definitely grade a! I love this haul it's my favorite one that you've done so far! So many different and fantastic beautiful beads. The gemstones that you got every one of them look like they're worth every penny! You have fantastic taste girl! 😍😍😍

I would have so much fun sorting through all those beadcaps and spacer beads! If you ever go through them all then let me know in the silver pack if there were a lot of pairs or groups of ones that were the same that you can use all on one bracelet I'm just really curious because if there is lots of matches then I will like to go get me some too! Nice haul! Thank you for sharing 🙂

Do more videos.

Very nice. Love the beads.

This is great

*snorts* Cats! I have 8. It makes beading....interesting...if nothing else. LOL LOVE that first box! I have all my beads (I normally work with 10/0, 11/0, and 8/0 seeds, plus bugles of various sizes) sorted and stored...but all those extras - ear studs (and backs), ear wires, various types of clasps, etc. - are basically in baggies tossed into an empty toolbox. I really need to get those sorted better.

So I’m watching this 7 months later lol. Has anything changed?? If so would you film an updated version!? I love this video. I want that round suitcase looking contraption lol. Final question, do you only buy beads you know you’ll use or are you like me where something is pretty and you can’t resist buying it? I have so many beads I’ve only been doing this for a year and have no idea what to do with half of them lol looking for a new way to shop if that makes sense. Love your videos!

Nice🤩🤩🤩💖💖

Where did you get theses toggles and storagecase from?

Where are you getting theses toggles findings at?

Amazon has all kinds of toggles.

Saturn beads

Theses would look great with brown or bronzes like with tan pearls silver and, Antique bronze findings.

I'm a HobbyLobby shopper and Dollar tree Wal-Mart for deals.

Just found your channel! I love your nails and those beads! Let’s be best friends 😂😂😂

There really aren't a lot of shows in this area. I also live in WI and attended this show. Next one is in June 2022.

I live in Iowa. You're right about all the bead shows being in the South/Southwest. You got some beautiful beads!

Love, love, love your style the bead combinations your crazy cool and ecclectic ...i'm so subscribing. T.F.S.

Great haul can't wait to see what you create

Great haul! Thanks for sharing! I wish I new about that show I would have driven to Madison to attend. Do you know of any others coming to Wisconsin soon? Also, not sure if you saw that Eclectica Beads moved to New Berlin. I didn’t know until I drove to Brookfield and they were gone.

The teardrops are Sunstone. And the nuggets are Blue Lace Agate I believe

Hope you did good at the fair. Your items are lovely. Thanks for the share
