Bead Soup Partner & Swap

I haven't blogged a loooong time *hangs head in shame*.  I've had a lot going on and a big upheaval at home in that I'm now single...but happy. Big change though and so my mind hasn't really been in the right frame for creating...the cogs are slowly turning again now though, especially with a kick up the arse in the form of bead soup!! 

Firstly I'll introduce my lovely partner that I was paired with and then we'll get on to the fab beads I was sent!

Nancy from Snazzy Doodle Designs makes the cutest lampwork beads! Check them out at her Etsy Shop and swing by her relatively new and shiny blog for more info.




Now the goodies!  I received them yesterday morning with a lovely cover note from Nancy letting me know what I had received. Everything was beautifully packaged in a little box with a business card (must get me some of those!). 

I've never done a bead soup before so had no idea what to expect but I'm delighted with my little stash! Perfect colours for me and lots of different textures and shapes. Love! 


So here's what I received!  

A beautiful set of frit lampwork with flower focal.  
A large hole turquoise lampwork ring with silver dots.
3 enamel beads
A sterling toggle
2 coloured wire coils
A mixed bag of czech glass, vintage lucite and ceramic spacers

Aren't the colours divine!
