What are you drooling over these days?

[NorthShoreTreasury]

I've been seeing some stuff that I'm drooling over right now, supplies-wise, and just wanted to share. (I won't cry too hard if anyone buys it out from under me, I really shouldn't be buying anyway.) =)

Not that I need any more good (bad?) ideas- but I would love to see what other people have their eyes on!

[NorthShoreTreasury]

Oh yeah, I forgot this:

Actually I love everything in this shop, but it seemed innapropriate to make a post with every single listing they sell, so I just picked something really special to show off.

[NorthShoreTreasury]

Okay, so I promised not to cry if someone bought my items, but then someone did buy "my" vintage bead caps, and a twist of jealousy stole through my heart once I noticed.

I consoled myself by going shopping for jewelry to upcycle at goodwill, and I got 2 excellent things. Will be back later to show you what they become!

I just love the color of these:

And Trudy, these made me think of you:

(Maybe not your colors, but thought they might make very interesting rosaries.)

Ooh, I like those tree of life pendants... One of these days, I'm going to get around to making my own tree of lifes (trees of life?)

I found this in Cindy's shop- Lux Metal Beads- I think it's pretty cool!

Not really sure what I would do with it. It might end up in the too special to use drawer for a while. It would probably make a really excellent center peice on a hemp necklace though!

My most recent addiction is to high school graduation keys from before the 80s. You know, the kind you get as a junior or senior that is usually a pendant.

[NorthShoreTreasury]

I never heard of graduation keys... Sounds interesting! You should find a pic and post it so we can all check it out!

OldWorldBeads is one of my favorites. I just got an order from there, including some beads similar to ones I'd bought from a now-closed shop that I hadn't found anywhere else. I bought all OWB had, and she made it a reserved listing with a generic "reserved" photo, so I can't link to it, but here's a pic of the ones I bought from the other shop. The picture does not do the green color justice at all:

The order from OWB is now sitting here. I'd considered pulling the rosary I'd made from the other beads and keeping it for myself. Now that I have more of them, I may just make one for myself - which is something I *never* do!

Here's a link to the rosary I have available made with the beads. Not to spam, but you can see the color of the beads much better here:

Yep, I know this isn't beads, but I still want it:

Does anyone else in here have any experience working with leather? I've never tried it before, but I think it would be a lot of fun!

[NorthShoreTreasury]

I also think these are very cool:

I've been kind of chatting with the girl who started this shop, it's a very new shop, and she seems really nice. I'm planning to get around to ordering from her one of these days!

Lately my new kick is pineapple quartz. Also, sort of, cherry quartz. So here's some fruity fun for everyone:
