My first cathedral beads

Hiya Carol. All I can do so far is gloat over them! I reckon I need to buy more just so I always have stock *grin*. Part of the joy of beads is just HAVING them. In nice compartmented boxes. I like to be organised when I gloat!

If I feel at all stressed out, I just think about my beads, many a commute to work has flown by in no time as I plot and plan, using beads, buying beads, making beads. It takes me far away from my troubles...

And now I'm no longer the only woman at work as I was until 6 weeks ago, when I wear something new, there is someone there to notice. When I have shipments sent to work, I spread the beads out on the reception desk to share my joy with the CEO's PA and the marketing officer. A joy shared is so much better.

This invokes such wonderful images! I'd love to work with you, Marisa!

Carol in SLC eBay:

Ah, so THAT'S what I have been looking for! A lady who runs a local Catholic shop often gives me old medals, broken rosaries and such. I clean them, fix them (when possible), re-use parts, etc. Well, the last time, there was a small section of a rosary...just six or seven beads. But they were lovely beads and I've been trying to identify them. I made a pair of earrings out of a few, but have wanted more, more, more!

Thanks!
