It's official...I have too many beads.

Just free your mind. Pack up that shoebox of s.crystals and send them to me!

I'm ever so kind as to oblige you!

Penny, you are wise beyond your experience. It is true, grasshopper....."too many beads" is an impossibility. ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!

A month's worth of groceries?!! I'm movin' to your house 'cause you must have the most incredible mealplan imaginable.

Seriously, now I'm trying to think if I have any particular component, the collection of which would fit into a shoebox..... size 6W shoe: nothing. size 11EE shoe: nothing size professional basketball player's shoe: maybe my seed-beads, since I rarely actually work in them and so only own 'a few'.

Actually, I have spent the past 2 days contemplating selling a huge portion of my stash to allow me to quit the hell my job just reorg'ed into and keep food on the table long enough for my disability pay to kick in....

Well IF you really want to sell stuff how about taking a part of each whatever and sell it. That way you aren't "out" of any item (still have all the goodies) but you have less overall stuff?

Just an idea,

Where are you I'll come pick them up to ease your mind. I would not want anyone to feel guilty about beads. Save you the S&H cost. Armand

You and me both, sister...hehe.

Ok...now my bead stash isn't small in my eyes, but compared to what you all are saying I have NOTHING! LOL! And that *includes* my own polyclay beads! What makes this so sad is that I've been beading for years now.

Well, it sounds to me as though you have barely enough beads. May I refer you to my sig line? It's a direct quote from a customer I served a few weeks ago. She said it with an perfectly straight face.

LOL!!

]Call it ]inventory and don't feel guilty.

AMEN! SECONDED! OMTP!

i've got a whole ROOM of 'inventory"!

This actually good advice - it would be one way to decide what stays and what goes. Junk can include colours you don't like anymore.

]Maybe I'm materialistic, I don't know.

naw - i'm a magpie. i collect sparklies!

I will share them with you Fiddy. Don't forget I live in bead starved Britain.

Unless I mail order it is a major undertaking for me to get beads. The nearest best bead shop is an 1.3/4 drive away. It takes more than a half day to do the round trip and browse round the shop.

There is one nearer but out of five items I wanted I only got four and the staff were disinterested. Couldn't care less sort of thing.

Mail order is okay but it is not the same as handling the beads or finding two little treasures in the corner of a bin.

Someone once told me "You can be a great deal more creative with 2000 choices than with 200 choices." You're just making sure you don't limit your creativity.
