Aloha!

How lucky can I be? Here I am in a Hawaiian paradise and I found a beader's dream shop! You can see the link to The Bead Gallery to the left, but here are a couple of pics of some of my favorites. Lauren and I were there for a few hours giggling over all the variety.

This bunch of flower beads grabbed me with the natural textures of bone, shell, and silver that are going to end up being gorgeous all together!

And, this honu (that'd be the turtle) is showing off some very cool Czech glass beads that were personally designed by the shop's owner, Jamie. The color combinations and the patterns on the glass are fun and soothing all at the same time.
