Building up the stash...

...like it needs it?

Found some bargains when I was at Festival of Quilts.

Much wiser to sell the beads in the small packs for 50p because then you can buy more of a wide range of colours and the total is still reasonable. And yes this was on my list, but just a few of these colours, thinking I would have to purchase large packs. I would have done a small pack of that one off size 11 pearl coloured beads but they were out.

And then these...

Because I had an exhibitor badge on and it was before the show opened for the day, I was offered an extra pack along with the deal they already had signs for. Cool! Should keep me going for a while. I do use buttons from packs like these for blouses, but I also want to work out a plan for using them some  way in the daily project.
