Gem show

Instead of a flea market day, it was a gem show day. I didn't really need a lot of stuff - and there are beads I would like to get, but the sellers don't offer here - but I was in a sort of ethnic mood, I guess. This is my booty:



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.
