Yesterday was a busy day. I had several errands to run, a doctor’s appointment, the bead show, and dinner out. I won’t regale you with tales of my errands and my doctor’s appointment as they were all rather mundane and boring, but I’ll share my loot from the bead show.
Before that though, I want to introduce you to Andrew who’s with Green Girl Studios. He’s actually Green Girl’s brother and he’s a sweetheart. I look forward to seeing him whenever he’s in town.
Isn’t he a cutie? He used his wiles on me and I ended up buying all this:
I really love the mermaids. I have a “thing” for them and these are really beautiful. Take a look at the backs.
Don’t you think that makes these pendants extra special?
I also got a free bead for wearing a Green Girl bead to the show. It’s a real beauty!
I also got some charms just for me from Hip Chick Beads.
I especially like the one that says “Balance, Belief, Beauty.” I think those words are especially inspirational. :)
Here’s the rest of my goodies.
I really love those Panda Bears. They’re so sweet!
There is one last thing for me to share, but I didn’t get it myself. My lovely mother bought it for me as a gift. I wish I could remember who the artist is, but alas! My memory! It is shoddy!
I just love the colors! In certain lights it also looks green.
I wish I had taken more pictures, but even though I was there for two hours I still didn’t really get a good look at everything. It was such a whirlwind of people and now I’m just exhausted.
I did manage to get some new earrings up on the shop though. Since I’ve been doing such tedious and complicated designs, I felt the need to do something simple. So I came up with these earrings.
It was a really nice change of pace and talk about instant gratification!
I think it’s time to try and recuperate from all the hustle and bustle.
Happy Saturday everyone!

That’s quite a haul! I can see how you didn’t go too crazy. Just picky? I’m wondering if that means something different to you than it does to me. LOL Love the beads, especially the mermaid ones. And also the pandas. They are so cute.

Those are some gorgeous beads! The pandas are my favorites, I think, but they are all beautiful.

The little owl bead is adorable. I can’t wait to see what you make with your new stash.

That’s a really nice haul. The panda beads are really cute.
Can’t resist the earrings…

OMG. Amethyst and pearls. I’m so drooling over that. The cat charm is adorable!
;)
(you knew I’d say that…)
And yes, he’s a cutie! Not surprised you succumbed to bead purchases.
(((Hugs)))

Woo Hoo!
What a great haul!
Now I am less confused. I thought Andrew was the Green Girl and could not believe that Andrew was a girl name. Now I feel better.
Btw, guess what I got in the mail today. :p

Love the owl!! The pandas are cute, too. Is it my imagination, or has the whole world gone panda-crazy?

I love the new stuff, and wonder what fabulous ways you will use it. So very interesting and inspirational.
Also, although the new earrings are simple, they also have all the special details you are known for in your beautiful creations.

Also, while completely untrue, but something not quite a compulsion for me to say, “I was an owwwl exterminator.”

I love the words on the back of those pendants. Love the hearts, as always. :)
