with shops in my city.
iWhen i pass through mid town, on other errands, i peep into the
various cheap stuff selling shops , beads are now in , and plenty of
images are worked into beads. I also have some friends who live in
smaller towns and keep telling me waht they work on , thus i can shop
for them , or buy and divide the bags of Found treasures, last
thursday i sounds `beads` with little smiling faces ,,,, JUst what i
looked for ,in my last work i need many tiny faces ,,,
i stocked up on faces for me and my friend .. tiny flowers , some
giant Payyestes , little `false` tin `coins`,,,, etc , wonderful ,,,

We have two really good bead shops here that I like. Between them,
they stock everything from semi-precious stones to assorted shapes,
symbols etc, that you're descrbing, Mirjam. DS and I just finished a
bead necklace for one of his friends' birthdays. He loves making up
the patterns, and seeing how the different shapes and colours can go
together. It's a fun activity for March Break for him!

Thank you Louisa,
The shop[s] i go to , aren`t only for beads , they are cheap shops
with piles and shelves of many intersting things. I find that
sometimes it is cheaper to buy several necaklaces with more beads than
singular beads. In Tel Aviv there is a whole neighbourhood with BEAD
SUPERMARKETS,,,, for lack of another word.
Yes your son has it right it is a wonder to see how all the shapes and
colors combine together.

Quite a few people I know shop in thrift stores; not because they can't
afford 'real' stores but because they might get lucky and find treasures
adorned with lace, trim, buttons and/or beads that can be used in their
masterpieces.

This aren`t thrift shops , this are the kind of "everthinh for a
Dollar" kind of shop, you never know what they really will have , it
keeps changing , and i find this dynamics quite interesting ,,,
As i told here , Lace i get in BAGS from friends and colleagues who
collect it . Everywhere .

In my part of the world, thrift shops are run by charitable and
philanthropic organizations to raise funds and stock gently used donated
items. We also have dollar and discount stores that aren't always
cheaper for staples like food or hygiene products. I pop into one of the
local dollar stores every now and then because they sometimes have
unique frames that don't look like they cost one dollar.

We have lots of options
Charity run thrift stores. Wide range of stuff, sometimes find something
great. Got to look often.
$1 stores. Good for craft stuff. Think I should have bought more of the
craft scissors - like about 20 of them. They really work well
Odd lot or job lot stores. Insurance sale items, over stocks, irregulars.
Best part is they have fliers and you can tell if it is worth a trip.
Discount - I haunt the clearance aisles at Home Goods.
