I think I promised y'all these photos about a month ago. Maybe even six weeks. But here they are! Now remember, I hardly had a moment of time to shop while I was at the Bead & Button Show this year, so it's not as extensive a shopping haul as I would have liked. When I submitted my class proposals for next year's show, I told them I can't teach on Friday - my plan is to spend that day at least in the Expo Hall so I can help at the booth and both Mom and I can go browsing.
First off, one of the special things (among many!) about the Meet the Teacher's event each year, is that Swarovski sponsors it, and they provide a special gift for the teachers. This year's swag was the best ever!

| You know it's going to be good when you get a whole box... |

| OH MY! New colors and shapes and I'm feeling faint now... |
I have to admit, I haven't actually delved into the box yet to use the components because I get so much pleasure out of the whole treasure chest nature of it. I don't want to open it up and find empty spots!
I also managed to do some quick focal bead damage.
And then there was my spree at the always awesome Green Girl Studios booth. I took an overall shot, and then some close ups of my very favorite clasps.

| The key to my heart! |
Excuse me...I think I need to go fondle them all again...
The fact that it took you so long to share it with us is hard enough to believe ... but that you have had this stash since the beginning of february (6 months ago) and have not done anything with them is truly unbelievable.....
