but...Nah, not yet, this way is more fun for me, i get to go down memory lane with these bead buddies.
PROCEEDS FROM THIS AUCTION WILL BENEFIT VALLEY OF THE KINGS where the mighty Obie and Socrates live! A big cat sanctuary in Wisconsin. (*many other exotic animals live there too)
here we are, marveling at the beauty that is the tiger. The VOTK always needs funds to keep up with the food supply, especially in wintertime...
so, back to the beads:I put myself through college by making jewelry, thank goodness as now, I have no student loans!
The upshot is that I have LOADS of beads to get rid of, as I just don't have time to make the jewels so much these days.
From my travels, I have picked up charms and beads at flea markets, vintage shops, thrift shops, yard sales, bead shops, the world wide.
Some pieces I can't recall where I got, but I have made a little list to describe as best as I can.
as always, the auction starts at 99 cents.
here's what's in this auction:
4 x stretchy bead string for jewelry making (great for bracelet making)
1 x bag of assorted accent ball beads
