A fish pendant with matching accents from Clay River Designs and porcelain dragonfly beads from Splendid Loon Studio
Tiny spacers from Clay River Designs
yep, I went crazy twice at Green Girl Studios.
Here is an incredible bird bead that I got from Kim at North Fire Designs and a flower I got from Ofilia Cinta, whose booth was just two down from mine
Ooh, my special treasure from Anne Choi! This one really spoke to me. It says “be not forgetful to entertain strangers” and it has feathers around it. It reminds me of my grandma and my mom, who love to feed and watch the birds.
A copper and sterling pendant and a toggle bar (it says Fly Away on it) by Coliebug Beads
And last but not least, shell and wood pendants and beads by Lillypilly Designs Good stash, huh? I can’t wait to start playing with all of these!

June 15, 2007 at 7:31 pmThat’s an awesome stash! I also hit Green Girl Studios, Anne Choi, and Lillypilly Designs at Bead & Button. I didn’t notice the skull bead at Joan Miller. Bummer!

June 16, 2007 at 12:16 pmThis cracks me up. That is the only skull bead I have ever made. It was inspired by Gaea’s work and reminded me of Melanie’s Wicked Trinkets, so I gave it to her. Maybe there will be more at Halloween.

June 17, 2007 at 1:15 amOoh, this is a great haul! I had 36 booths on my list and only made it to about 27 of them, sigh. I missed Green Girl Studios – wah! – but I did pick up two Anne Choi beads and a cute koi pond bead from Joan Miller. I’m loving your wonderful Terra trinkets, too – thanks again!
