An envelope from Nancy arrived, and (proving miracles do happen) I managed to restrain myself long enough to take a picture of the lovely packaging:
 |
| Ooh, lucky me - two packages! |
And then I opened them up to find these!
 |
| I wish my photography skills were good enough to show the luster on the lampwork - it's luscious! |
 |
| Look at the different gemstones! Look at the fantastic details on the lampwork rounds! Look at the delicious Bali silver! Wipe your chin, because I know you're drooling! |
Not one soup, but two delicious mixtures of gorgeousness, both built around lampwork beads by Julia Cannon. Bless her heart, she sent two soups, because she was worried I wouldn't have enough to work with from just one package. Either of these would have been perfectly grand. The two together? That's enough beads to roll around in like Scrooge McDuck.
After I picked my jaw back up off the floor, I had to laugh. Why? Because I came THIS CLOSE to sending Nancy a focal by Julia Cannon! Yep, I knew Nancy and I were the perfect partners.
I did tell Nancy that if we ever had the chance to bead shop together, it would be a toss-up as to whether we'd enable each other into spending way too much money, or whether we'd be arm wrestling over the same strands of beads.
So, if I didn't build the soup I sent Nancy around a JulsBead, what did I send?

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait to see what she makes with these!

Hi Bobby,
The bead soups you received from Nancy are gorgeous and I am so looking forward to seeing what you create with them I know it will be spectacular as all of your creations are. On the same note I can not wait to see what the fabulous Nancy Dale does with the bead soup that you sent to her whatever she creates will be awesome as well.

These beads are amazing! Great combinations to work with. Love the Bali silver pieces too!!! Nancy's packing was so beautiful too.
I'm trying to visit as many of the blogs as I can in the blog party. I love the soup that you got as well as the one you've sent out! I can't wait to see what you've done with it.
Your soups are so grand! I'm doing my first bead soup now and I had no idea what to expect.I am having a ball. This reveal is going to be like Christmas presents...for days. :-D Later, Billi
