I like to support local agriculture, which means finances (and freezer space) are a bit tight this week. See, my beef person and my lamb persona both killed a few weeks ago, so I have, counting part of a deer, a couple of turkeys, and some fish, close to 300 lbs of meat in my freezer at the moment. And I should really only be buying essentials until next pay day.
It seems I need to re-define "essentials".
There is an awesome pewter and rock shop near my house, with a great section for beaders - lots of pewter and sterling beads and findings, plus an amazing selection of stones, in many shapes, sizes, and cuts. I always spend too much money when I am in there.
I convinced myself I could stop in today and only buy a package of lobster clasps I "needed".
Riiiiight.
I grabbed my lobster clasps, and then thought "Oh, I'll just take a look, get some ideas", and I saw this:
I also found these:
They were listed as "fusion goldstone" - fused regular and dyed blue goldstone is my guess. They are 4mm size. I bought 2 lengths (about 30" in total). I think they will look quite nice when combined with a silver triskele that recently came into my keeping.
So much for my "just lobster clasps".
Sigh.
Guess I'm eating a lot of meat between now and payday.
