They're MY beads! In another lifetime I used to make regalia for my kids to dance. My kids no longer have an interest.

So would like to see go to some family who would feel blessed to have it. husband is having a COW! He does not bead, of course. I have fabric I'm about to freecycle.

Now I love books.......but these we will never read. These are ancient books, not even in our interest. But because they are very old and been in th family FOREVER (family of packrats) he HAS to keep them. His carving stones, tools, ect. OMG the man hasn't touched it in YEARS. (stinks at it to begin with) And is NOT allowed to do it in the house.......so it doesn't get touched. (nothing worse than rock dust all over the room. He does the coffee can thing too.
