Hello Everyone!

But it's time to start getting ready for Halloween! Will beads be part of your costume?

I've been having a blast going to thrift stores with my family, and finding a lot of great vintage craft books, including some really fun jewelry making books from the 70s. I've been writing about some of them in my blog at
