Sensational Beads
Oriental Trading serves specific useful purposes but is mostly just a sorry load of junk that I find kind of disturbing. I only save OT catalogs from going straight to the trash when I know I have a birthday party or some other event coming up. So today, I was about to dispose of what I thought was another OT catalog when something on the back cover caught my eye: it was a beads only selection. What the. . .?
I searched it cover to cover and I am converted. I have so been wanting to experiment with jewelry making but keep being intimidated by where to start. I feel like I would need to sit in the bead/craft store for a long time to make comparisons and figure out exactly what I need. Enter Oriental Trading to the rescue. I can browse the catalog a thousand times and be as indecisive as I want.
The 60-page catalog has a pretty amazing selection — fresh water pearls, charms, spacers, glass, stone, wood — and all the hardware and tools you need to put everything together.
See more or request a catalog here.

It's not me. It's Lisa, the lovely guest blogger. Add her posts to my daily 3 and it's like a whole new blog!
Very cool beads....
Checkout artbeads.com--they are the best site I have found. (And I found you through Lisa.) And they don't charge for shipping. And they have pretty pearls.
wow! I thought OTP was a bunch of crappy gimmicks sprinkled with a few weird Christian-themed boondoggling kits. I'm up to my ears in jewelry sites these days . . . I'm gonna rock this one tonite!
