A Magpie’s Treasure
I have been organising the vintage beads in preperation for the shop opening and I keep finding the most wonderful treasures! Our plan is to have one whole wall of 200 or so glass jars filled with glass beads, buttons and findings from the 1940’s and earlier. I think my favorite pieces so far are little swarovski snowflake pendants, the coolest oval glass cabashons with butterflies and itsy bitsy glass flowers. Also there is a bead (that I just made earrings with) that I am officially smitten by, they are round flat 1940’s black lucite with little rhinestones set in them and I am calling them ‘galaxy’ beads. And so much more to come…
