In which I "invest" our retirement in glowing rocks

| 16 Comments

So, guess what bead store had a 50% off sale this weekend? The one near me? Yes it did. And, this will be an easier question for you: guess who was geek enough to scope out the store in advance?? You guess me? It was me.

I had plans for this sale, this 8:30 am on a day off sale. I could do it, I could win!

And I did:

The key for those of us who might follow along in my little life follows.
Labradorite, blue and green glowing rock
agate, fancy black rock
Moonstone, surprise, blue glowing rock
More of the Labradorite, but this time tiny, cut, and more expensive!
Silver beads

So, after said investment, I squirreled away my acorns purchase into my purse, and zipped home like I had the Golden Ticket. I told Mendon about how really, life is about happiness, right? And so, it's OK to sometimes not be all about the 401K, right? Sometimes, we need to buy glowing rocks like a kid with a Dark Crystal fix, right?

After retiring to my mess of a beading space, I looked at my Preciouses and realized that they were awfully... grey. While this realization might have allowed the briefest bit of regret, it took a whopping nanosecond for me to remember that the stones are glowing and consequently cement my love for them.

See self-promoting advert on the side bar, that is my store. It is the means through which Mendon forgives my "investments."

Jealous! I don't even know if there *is* a bead store close to me. (I do, however, know where an extremely high priced yarn store is. I guess they sell good stuff, but no matter the quality, it's out of my price range!)

I made some pretty earrings the other day with green beads and leaf beads. They still need a bit of tweaking since they're on the heavy side.

Enjoy your sparkles.

OOoooh, pretty beads. Shiny beads!!!!!!


Hi Hayley

Kristen,
What is your email? I will send you my new contact info. My email is the typical first and last name at gmail, no spaces or dots or anything.

In Latvia, my best friend's name is Agatha, though in Latvian it's spelled Agate. So for her birthday every year as a joke I buy her jewellery made from agate rocks! It's a very beautiful rock, I agree.
