Description

The listing, My 2nd HUGE Bead Lot! MUCH more than pictured!!! has ended.

HUGE AUCTION- not all beads are shown- pls read the details! My 2nd Bead Auction!

I used to make jewelry for a living & have loads of amazing beads & findings that I've decided to part with.

The photos do NOT reflect the number of beads included- (there will be MORE than shown- I just didn't want to take them all out for the photos.)

NO seed beads in any of my listings! All beads are glass, wood, ceramic and plastic unless otherwise noted.

Here is an itemized MINIMUM count of the beads for this lot:
1. 15 PAIRS of earring findings (silver toned)
2. Clear plastic beads of various sizes & shapes @ least 80
3. Glass & Ceramic beads- these are some of my absolute favorites- I will group them together in colors. 80 small beads & 15 larger beads
4. gold hoop findings for earrings or can be used to make pendants 2 pairs- total of 4
5. Head pins: silver 1" & 2" in length- at least 30 in all
6. various faux pearl beads- at least 2 different color tones. 120 small & 30 large
7. MY PRIDE & JOY BEADS: 2 rhinestone balls (nip) cut crystal glass. I was saving & saving these for something spectacular... & now I am hoping one of you will do just that!
8. Another of my FAVORITES: 3 HANDMADE beads- just gorgeous. I bought these at a craft fair from an amazing artist. I have a few more that will appear in my upcoming auctions!
9. 2 BLACK & GOLD painted wood beads- these hurt to part with!!!
10. extra gold & silver earring findings- no backings w/these- but you can purchase them at any craft store! 5 pairs 10 pieces total
11. mix of small metallic and painted beads: 250

If this auction goes to 500 credits I will add an additional bead for every credit!!! & NO SEED BEADS!!! :D If it goes over 1500 I will add A LOT of seed beads (that won't count towards the bonus beads!)

Shipping is free in the US- will ship to Canada for a nominal postage fee.

Great auction...

:D I am having so much fun watching the 1st bead auction- I HAD to list another! :D

Aug 20th, 2011 at 3:34:14 PM PDT by

Yes! Beads shipping to Canada! I joined Listia with the idea that I could get rid of some extra stuff and get some beads to kick-start my jewelry business, and so far I haven't found many people with bead listings who are shipping to Canada.

I couldn't see why not as long as the winner pays the extra upcharge! :D

Aug 20th, 2011 at 6:04:24 PM PDT by

I think most people just can't be bothered, really... though they'd get a lot more business if they did. I've been fanning everyone I can find who ships to Canada or lives in Canada.

I think you're right about both the bothered statement and the more business one. I actually added that because I started "talking" to a lovely gal in Canada that was interested in a couple of my baby auctions... and she was just so ding dang nice I figured what the heck. :D

Hope people read these comments. I had a lot of fun with the 1st bead auction- just shipped it out. I counted about 700 beads before I said "screw this" and I just ended up guesstimating by look the rest of the bonus beads- and then chucked in an extra couple of bags just to make sure. :P I'll email the winner and make sure it's ok that I do the same here... this little girl just does NOT have the patience to count 2800 tiny beads! :D

I'll be listing another of these bead auctions this week- and most likely have enough for one HUGE monster lot of everything remaining. So be on the lookout for two more bead auctions!!! Thanks for making this so much fun!!!

I have genuine pearls that I am adding to each auction win- they are fabulous. :D

Aug 23rd, 2011 at 12:47:51 PM PDT by

Wow! This is a really nice lot! Watching! :)

Aug 23rd, 2011 at 10:25:44 PM PDT by

Thanks! I have some jade and pearl beads I am adding to the lot. I really can't believe how popular the bead auctions are. I just had another auction close- for a sterling silver bracelet that I paid about $85 for and it is still brand new... and it closed at 1/3 of what the 1st lot did! I had no idea how many creative people were here on Listia! I love it!!!

Amazing auction! Fanned you... watching!!! :)

Aug 24th, 2011 at 10:09:26 AM PDT by

yay! thanks! I think I have enough beads for 2 more auctions... one more just like this- and the final one will be everything that is left! :D
