This week I have all Turquoise (copper green) beads up on ebay. I'm very proud of the oceanic sets, they turned out very pretty. Currently my favorite set is the link below. You may wonder why is it is called Oceanic #2, #1 sold with BIN. WHOO HOO. I always enjoy choosing 3 or 4 colors and uses...

Ah ... but there's more. Yes there is. The fourteenth century authority of Sir John Mandeville known as the "Lapidaire" states with precise clarity that our magical stone also protected horses from the ill effects of drinking cold water when overheated by exertion. The Turks--it would...

Does anyone else think getting spam messages that say "Jesus wants you to save, Refinance now the Christian way" is particularly crass?? For some reason these really, really bother me, but then I'm easily irritated these days. Things are looking up though - I got my ballot in the mail today and...

I think I'm too tired for puns... is that possible? ;) I managed to get a LOT done today, with the erstwhile help of the Wonder Twin powers of Cori and Lori, but the upshot was that I didn't get it all done until just now, and it's LAAAATE! OK, maybe not that late, but I'm a weenie, and I like my...

A lot of people who posted regularly left this group due to all the unpleasantness we had last Spring. I notice JoAnn Pawles is no longer around. Has anyone heard from her? This post should follow the one about Kathy-N-V, Mary & Arondelle being away from the group, but I can't access older posts -...

After a week busily sewing (not done yet, but then, am I ever?) I thought I'd pop in and say hi. We just got back from Hanmer Springs were we have had the most luxurious time, poaching in the thermal pools and generally lolling about. I also went to a gypsy fair yesterday and got to see inside one...

I haven't posted lately, but I have been lurking...it feels like forever. Many things in my life have changed. I am now a mom of twin boys. Since I was 24 weeks pregnant I haven't been able to lampwork (very long pregnancy with many health scares for the boys). I am just starting to get some...

Another sick ebay spoof that *almost* got me. "Unpaid Item Strike" for an item very similar to something I bought recently. The fact that I never sign in to ebay from an email link (have my own shortcut) kept their sick idea from working. The email of course looks and 'sounds' legit. Please be...

Hi Everyone, A quick update to fill you in on auction news. I still have two sets of lampwork beads on eBay, ending in the next few hours. In case you haven't seen them already, Venice is a set of shimmering golden pinks, plenty of tactile beads in this set with that pixie dust shimmer that makes...

Come on Spring! Here's some petite pink roses and some more florals on ebay; http://tinyurl.com/5cqwo Thanks for looking! -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com

I recently lost my collection of over a dozen Tagua Nut carvings that I have been collecting for several years from www.redhorseranch.com I had moved the box they were stored in out to my garage recently. Each carving was wrapped carefully in tissue paper and then put into its own deep set...

Tomorrow the Antique fairs start. Alas there are 2 of them on, bad timing on the part of the organisers. Which one do I go to or since I am trying to save money for my GW anniversary (9wks today) do I go at all. If I don't go I am bound to miss some treasure. If I go to one I am bound to miss...

My DS and FDIL gave me the neatest thing the other day. They are moving out to the Bay area in the fall and are sizing down. They handed me an old cigar box full of old beads. Some were made from polyclay by FDIL. I could wring her neck. She had real promise but moved on to other art forms. ...
