My Bead Soup Blog Party Beads & Stuff!

I got my package from my partner, Beth of Vintage Sweets this week. She sent me gobs of stuff! And it's all copper, which is the metal I've worked with least. Coincidentally though, I've been recently starting to tip-toe in that direction with some findings and dangly leaves. Now I've got more than I know what to do with, and I'm really excited about it.

Everything was packaged neatly, and enclosed in a lovely vintage tin.


There were some purple & green crystals and pearls in cute little tic-tac containers:


Some Czech glass leaves and a pair of abalone beads:



Some copper wire in two gauges, the focal and clasp (plus a bonus bird):



And some various links, beads, and Viking braid:




I can't wait to get started, but there's so much to choose from I'm a little overwhelmed. I'm excited to see what I come up with. Thanks Beth!
