tehehehehehehe.... what Kat is up to.....

5 bags and 4 large heavy box of beady goodness!

Sorting sorting sorting.....

This pile still needs to be sorted...
Just Saturday I typed about how much fun I have pawing through a big pile of stuff..  Well, I just bought out a fellow jewelry maker's stash of 6-7 years.  The Gal is retiring and everything had to go.  I got a good price on it, and while most of it is stuff I'm not using much right now, seriously half the fun is discovering what she had !!

So far I've picked out some base metal findings and most of the sterling for my "keep" pile.  The displays, glass beads and stone beads are not really something I'm using much right now, so they are mostly going into the "sale" pile.  I've already got another jewelry maker friend of mine interested in what I don't keep, but if that falls through, I'll just bag them up and take them to the flea market with me to sell.  Eventually whatever is left will go on my Etsy Destash site.

Still, I have this large box still to dive into.. I know I should be cleaning the house or working on my build a line challenge ( my original design didn't work like I wanted it too, so I'm sort of mulling over other design ideas... ) but I"ll probably be having a grand time rummaging through my pile of treasure!

Oh, what fun. I was able to do something similar several years ago. I'm still using stuff from that stash, though most of it has gone away via various means as much of it wasn't my style either. Enjoy yourself!
