Edelweiss, EdelweissEvery moment, you make me happy!
Bright and clear, sparkling here
I am so happy to bead thee!
Glittering bright, through day and night
Glitter and sparkle forever!
The colours of roses or eggs from a Phoenix
Ebony moon faces or bright garden glass mix
Strange looking cones for gathering up strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Matching stone pendants or 
Vampire Jasper Splitrings
and Chatons and 
hang charms for cancer,
Round Rapid Cap Rivets and the snaps and the tools These are a few of my desires and drools ...
When the skeeters bite
When the traffic jams
When life makes me mad,
I simply remember my favorite beads,
And then I don't feel so bad.
With my most profound and humble apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein.
I want to point out something about these new rivets and snaps that you should know. You will notice that some are plated over brass, and some are plated over steel. The steel ones are significantly cheaper, but will rust with time if they get wet - and are best suited for projects that are not going to get damp - more like crafty items. For a more durable rivet, i.e. for leather bracelets, choose the plated brass rivets instead.
If you are visiting Toronto for the games (Go Canada - we rock!) and need a sparkle fix, and want to come into the best bead store in all of Canada (IMHO) - and see all the new stuff in person, we are easy to drive to or transit to - and we have free parking! Map and directions here!
