Bead Peeps Bead Swap Partner

On my last post, I told you what I sent my Bead Peeps partner for the bead swap. In this post, I am going to share what my partner sent me!

Linda Anderson of Bead Peeps is the administrator of this event. Thank you, Linda for all the hard work you do. I can only imagine how much work goes into organizing something like this! 

There were a couple of rules to follow, the most important one was to send something that is an artisan piece. What is an artisan piece? Well, that is something that is handmade by someone, not manufactured.

Linda paired me up with Cynthia O'Toole of Sparkles and Sweets.
Let me just say....she sent me a TON of stuff!!!! I was a bit overwhelmed, to say the least, lol. 

So, here is everything

Now let me break this down...

Cynthia knew I love the ocean...

So, she sent me some things 

from the sea!

Then, there were the pendants....

...and then the beads!

oh...another pendant....5

and another....6

Some more glass beads...

There were a lot of glass pendants and beads!

We both like a little bling, so she sent me some...

Cynthia also sent me some links...

...and fancy clasps

...and some more links...

...and some split rings and bead caps!

I love bead caps!

And then, there was this piece. I love this piece! Not sure what I want to do with it, something very special. Funny thing is,  I sure would love to have my kitchen counter tops in this style and color. It kinda reminds me of specks of sea glass...

So, there you have it. Cynthia sent me a TON of stuff. Stay tuned to see what I do with it...
