I'm glad you enjoyed viewing the stash and my designs. I don't know that I've ever worn anything orange in my life, but for some reason those squares begged to come home with me at a bead show. Please do visit again. I know I've been to your blog a few times now for other blog hops and enjoy it as well.

I think it is wonderful. Thanx for sharing pics of your stash. I enjoyed it. Your designs are beautiful. I like your earrings best even though they are colors that i don't normally use or wear much.

I was just thinking that the reason why some mean something to me has to do with taking the time to search them out. To spend time in a bead store or at a bead show, looking, perusing, finding inspiration, meeting the artists and vendors. That commitment to seek out the good stuff is part of what makes it meaningful and memorable.

I tend to find the best treasures at garage sales - partly because I can often learn about who the jewelry or beads belonged to, where they bought them, etc. I like the story almost as much as the beads.

(I blame it on living at the South Pole for two winters rather than admit I'm aging, by the way). Sometimes I attach tags to things with the name of the shop and city. Sometimes I just remember because something worth keeping in mind happened when I bought them. And sometimes I can't recall much more than which state I was in or how much they cost. I have better recall about things I've had a long time. Thanks for commenting. Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268892068265943767noreply@blogger.com
