RC studio ~ bead sourcing

Today was spent sourcing new beads at a show in Santa Monica & then quick trip to Berger Beads downtown. I got a taco downtown that was delicious, a very successful day all in all. Except for the evil Russian lady dressed in gypsy attire who tried to sell me 20 brass jump rings for $40, then attempted to strong arm me when I declared I was no sucker. Yea right I could get sterling silver ones at that price. Luckily things perked right back up when I found my old friend with his dazzling Bi-color citrines. He always has the best quality gems, is honest and priced competitively. I spent my whole month's alloted supply funds on his sparkling beauties in less than 20 minutes, but as you can see below it was worth it~ blue topaz, garnets, citrines, moonstones, turquoise skulls....
