Part 2 of 3

The following is a list of catalogs that sell beads and tools at retail
and wholesale prices. This list has been compiled from Ornament magazine,
the Bead & Button Reader Source Guide, The Bead Society of Greater Washington
Newsletter, The Book of Beads: A Practical and Inspirational Guide to Beads
and Jewelry Making, and the Lapidary Journal. Anyone with more
info on catalogs listed here or catalogs not listed here
should e-mail me at 'mva...@clark.net.'

For anyone who cannot download this entire list due to character/line limits
with your newsreader, try the ftp site: anon ftp ftp.clark.net/pub/mvaughn;
if you still can't get it, please e-mail me at 'mva...@clark.net' and I will
happily e-mail you the list in two parts or whatever way you can read it.
