That's a nice sized pot of seed beads for £1.10. I'm very jealous! I went to the Nottingham bead shop today and bought a few bits. I always end up buying prettiness and then not knowing what to make with it. You'll have to post us some pics of what you make with your haul shiprob

I was very restrained at the bead sale this morning ....here is my stash.


I spent about £18 alltogether.

Now I will have to think what pieces I can make with it all :j

Ooh, haven't been to one of their sales for ages, must look up when they are on

do they do their sales countrywide, do you think they come near me? (Nott/Derbys border). Please will you tell me how to find out too? I find myself sadly lacking in places you can actually go and look/feel the beads before you can buy them around here
