Help, i bought too much SALE
uh.. i came home from keastree 's and well..... went to a bead show.
this wouldn't be such a problem, except that i met several of my *wholesale* suppliers there and picked up my beads in person.
(i also established a couple of new wholesale accounts, and made notes of some folks i need to deal with in the future.. oh yes, and bought a beautiful glass frog on a pad pendant, for no good reason.. ribbit!)
so..... pictures to be up ASAP... but i have added these beads to my bead inventory, and want to sell them FAST! yes this is a longish list. and YES the stock i had left after Pennsic is on sale also, so if you saw it at Pennsic and want more. Pennsic prices still apply.
Lengthly list of my sins.... (all prices are per string, and sale prices are strictly temporary until i get my budget back....:
