In which I monopolize the global Bead industry

We haven't had a bling post in awhile, but it has been a crazy-busy month in the shop. I can't keep up with the holiday demand, I list stuff and it's gone by sundown. Crazy. 

I get that it's just a bunch of beads, but it beats doom-scrolling the headlines and it's cheaper than therapy. And, to be honest, I feel like I'm doing more to solve the world's problems by putting pretty stones on string than I did in the entire 30 years I spent living and working in the cesspools of DC. 

Some of these beads have existed for thousands of years. Some of them will still be here long after America has sunk into the sea. And who knows, maybe they'll actually spread a small amount of happiness to someone in the meantime. 

Fine, it's not much. But it's something. And it's weird how there's a little community growing that is centered on my shop, a fairly steady crew of repeat buyers who just "get it" with beads and like my stuff. We interact, sometimes they interact, I get comments on my socials, things like that. A weird little community we're growing over here, and I like it. 

Anyway, if you're interested in seeing more, I've put the link to my shop at the bottom of this post. Meanwhile, enjoy these pretty pics of some of my recent sales.  



For those still scrolling this far, you really should check out the shop, it's unending fabulousness over there. Click here:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/bongobeach/?etsrc=sdt
