A box of beautiful

A couple of weeks ago, Lori started organizing another bead swap, only this time no rules.  We don't have to blog about it, we don't have to send anything specific (except don't send crap), we can basically do whatever we want.  My swap partner this time around is Sandy Richardson, and I was amazed when I opened my mail box this afternoon.

Inside was a beautifully wrapped package.  Like a kid on Christmas morning, I excitedly (yet carefully) unwrapped my package only to find this


Isn't it pretty?  I couldn't wait to see what was inside!  My jaw dropped when I opened it up to see this

Look at all that RED!!! Everything in there is gorgeous. This is what I got... 



And last but not least...


These are my favorite because they're so BIG (16mm) and so RED!  I don't have a lot of red in my collection, so I'm super duper excited to see what will become of these beautiful beads. :D

I must call them collector's beads because they are gorgeous and very rare in their color and luster and design.
