Onyx flowers and mother of pearl leaves.
Tiny cream coloured freshwater pearls.
An ethnic assortment - new beads in the traditional Tibetian style.
These are buttons - huge buttons. About 2" x 1.5". Material: horn. I am totally in love with these.
More ethnics - bronze beads from Africa. And those lighter ones - are an alloy of silver and copper - with a lot of copper. Very rustic - very cool.
Some drilled focal beads, mainly jasper and quartz crystals.
Some very long quartz crystals.
I haven't been posting much lately, sorry about that - a heavy work load at the day job, plus some health issues, have slowed me down a bit - and there just hasn't been anything interesting to show you. But I do thank each and every one of you that stops by. Your comments are very much appreciated.
Wishing you a wonderful Sunday, where ever you are.

My goodness, Renate! You must have the best flea market in the whole world! Your finds are always so wonderful! They even have a gem day! Wow!
Hallo Renate, gute Besserung und genieße die Sommertage, wenn möglich. Deine neuen Perlen sind wunderschön - so etwas bekomme ich hier nicht. Ganz liebe Grüße, Inge
First and foremost, I wish for you good health, Renate.
Sorry the day job is taking it's toll. Try to stay positive and remember your art is at the end of the tunnel (day).
And lastly, what luscious finds from these venders. I'm right in sync with you on these ethnic pieces. Can't wait to see how you use them!
What beautiful finds, those buttons, and black onyx flowers are lovely. Wishing you renewed health and strength.
Hi S - great stash of beads - lots of creative opportunities - love the large buttons - but of course I would probably cut them into slithers. Go and create well. B
Liebe Renate, your finds at the gem show are truly beautiful! I've been to a few of those and every time I felt overwhelmed with how much there was to choose from...
I hope your health issues are nothing serious and send you a big hug from hot and humid Savannah!!
Love, Silke
What beautiful finds today. Isn't it interesting how our tastes change from time to time! I hope your work load levels off and your health improves. It's always nice to see your creations...but you need take care of yourself first.

oooo!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! you find the most wonderous things my fren! i really love the stash of focals and the quartz wands you found ...
Hello Renate...what fun you must have had shopping at the gem show! You found some really unique beads, like those leaf-shaped onyx beads. I love the African bead grouping as well.
Like you, I haven't been posting much either - going on a weeklong break already! My internet connection has been slow here at the beach, plus I'm just enjoying being outside more now that it's summer! :-)
Don't you just love gem shows?!! Love your choices, and those buttons are dancing in my head too! Beautiful finds my friend!
Sending you prayers and good wishes that you feel better soon.
Hugs!
Great finds, I love the very long quartz. Bead and gem shows are so much fun but very daunting they are usually full of SO much stuff. I hope you are well soon, my thoughts are with you. Lorrie
