Beautiful Bead Shipment has arrived!!

I have been so excited waiting for a shipment of beautiful beads

to arrive - and today they were here!

Since yesterday I got my shipment of gorgeous hand blackened brass from the

lovely ladies of Fallen Angel Brass and today I got the beads,

I can really get to work making pretties for the Grand Opening Sale

to celebrate the opening of Tumblestone's new Etsy shop :)

(Ant the Farmer's Market of Course!)

A peek at what I got yesterday....

I had next to no chain left and out of headpins and jump rings! 

I wont settle for unmatching unless it's meant to be miss matched, 

so when this came yesterday I was SO excited! 

These are my necessities right here!

I love the Fallen Angel patina, it really is unmatched with anything I've 

ever come across. 

And then today.... 

I truly am so impressed with these beads. 

They came from Arte Bella Surplus <~ Her Etsy!

They take my breath away! My photos arent the greatest

but you get the idea!

(Pretty pic heavy!)

The silverclear beads look as if water droplets have been frozen in time!

  And those Carribean blue beads - to die for!

Look at those BIG cherry bon bon faceted beads in the upper right! 

 The beads on the left were a Thank You gift for the order  :)

 LOVE the beads on the top left there! (All of them really...) Those drops are the exact shade of Suicide Creek, a local glacial runoff swimming area.

Oh I am so happy with my order!!

Now I must get to work designing and creating pretties!

I've been on a sewing kick the past week since I was out of my 

Fallen Angel Brass - Here's a little peek at a few of my newer creations...

enjoy!

I'm off to create!

I just made my fave earrings so far!

Yesternight while I was playing with my jewelry

findings, beads and wires, I designed a few new lovely

pieces I will be adding to the shop shortly.

(I've already added them to Tumblestone's Facebook page,

I always give them 1st dibs a few hours to a day before the shop)

I designed and created this gorgeous pair of earrings,

I love them so much that I havent quite 

decided if I want to let them go yet....

Hand blackened brass and fire polished picasso Czech glass...

YUMMY!

If those beads were edible they would be so juicy!!

I guess we will have to wait and see if they show up in the shop

later on tonight or not! I never make two the same, that's why I'm being

so indecisive about this pair.

I've had two amazing days in the studio designing jewelry

so now I had better get some sewing done!

I have a prototype pattern to turn in to a reality...

and I went fabric shopping today!

;)

I found some amazing beads!!

I just had to share with you all

what came in to my mailbox today!

I have recently fell in love with the beautiful

sheen and colors of the Picasso style Czech glass

beads that I came across while surfing through Etsy.

I came across some beautiful beads at 

Avedis Beads based in Australia.

Have a look at these beauties!!

I knew I had to have some of these.

Arent they to die for?!

I knew I had to have some.

Also, they will go so perfectly with the hand

blackened brass that I love to use so much.

When I opened the package, I saw an extra

bag with a bunch of gift beads with a card saying 

"Thank you for choosing Avedis Beads"  :)

I loved how all of the extra beads (18 of them!) came in pairs

so that I could make a few pairs of 

gorgeous earrings or a necklace with what they gifted me, so

that was nice! Also, a few of the extra bead pairs

I love so much that I will be ordering them next time around.

And for a photo of what I got in my order:

They even had some nice chain as well.

The colors are so vivid and beautiful.

Avedis Beads has absolutely no idea that I have written this blog 

post. This is not at all a paid review nor do they have 

any idea that I even have a blog at all. I'm going to tell them though

and let them know how happy I am with their beads!

Thank you Avedis Beads! 

You have won another happy customer :)
