New Beads

Picked up some new beads yesterday and today.  Yesterday I was in Petoskey on my way up to give a talk in Cheboygan and stopped at Indian Hills.  They had some cool stuff, including some beads made by local people.  I am finding myself attracted more and more to those unique beads.  Also had a great conversation with the staff.  Imagine that your job is to work in a shop filled with cool beads like that and to make jewelry all day to be sold in the shop when you are not busy with other things.  I also am drawn to semi-precious stones like amethyst, lapis, jade, tiger's eye (my old favorite), garnet, etc.  It is true what they say, when you start beading beads really do take over your life!
