| Margo Field's Floral Fantasy Class |
Greetings Beady Friends!! One month since my last post and I am a renewed woman! It is amazing how life ebbs and flows with ups and downs, struggles and ease. We often think a difficult patch will end up being the rest of our lives. But always, things change. In the last month, I have had a wonderful time reconnecting with y'all at the shop. I was also able to take my children on a trip to New York to visit family. I saw loads of my closest cousins, who I haven't seen in several years. I even had the opportunity to reminisce about first grade with friends from that far back.
If you follow Poppyfield Bead Company on Facebook you know that while I was on this trip, I picked up over 30 pounds of unique and vintage beads. I got delayed at airport security in New York City because my bead-stuffed backpack was impenetrable on X-ray. After being "swiped" for explosives, we were allowed through. But not before a long line of frustrated travelers formed behind me. Less than 12 hours after my plane touched down in Albuquerque, I was hauling that pack over to the shop to start unpacking and drooling. I am so excited to share these unique beads with you. I discovered that I have purchased vintage Swarovski crystal under the older label DSW, which date from before 1949 . In addition, I have teeny tiny 15/0 and 16/0 beads from "Czechoslovakia"(not Czech Republic) which are more than 20 years old. Even some of these labelled 14/0 are smaller than a Japanese 15/0.
I am rolling out the NEW BEADS as I get them inventoried. Available now are:
 |
| 47ss Dentelles /Chatons |
- Vintage Czech 47ss Dentelles/Chatons in Light Sapphire. These are approximately 10.5 mm faceted stones with a pointed back and a flat top. They have a gold foil back and are in beautiful condition. I am selling packs of 4 stones for $3.50. These are vintage and in limited supply. When they are gone, they're gone.
- Vintage Swarovski 18mm Margaritas in Crystal AB. Big and beautiful and in perfect condition. I am selling these for $3.20 each. These are also in limited supply and when they are gone...they're gone.
