Bugle Bead Treasure


In retrospect, blog reader Kyndra's note was way too casual. Would I want her Italian great-grandmother's bead stash? Gee, sure, I guess, right?

Oh. My. It came in a groovy rice pudding box (for the bonus) and when we took the lid off a collective gasp ran around the room. This was booty of the highest order. Ropes and ropes of glass bugle beads in dreamy never-seen-before colors. 

They were all in a terribly tangled mass, and Clara spent the last two days sorting them out and making plans for matching knitted garments.

Kyndra. Thank you.

  1. A lovely gift! Once the untangling is done, the sorting out of new supplies is often the best bit! So much potential, so many plans, so much inspiration. Glad you have some new colors to play with.
