I scouted out another charity shop today (who, sadly, had been robbed last week) looking for beads, and then popped back into the charity shop I had visited yesterday. Look what I found!
The round pendant with the star in the centre turned out to be a locket when I got it home. And there are some lovely wooden beads and silver spacers.
The little bracelet is made up of tiger eye beads (!). I also spotted this little spiral charm which will be perfect for the prayer beads. Happy happy day!
And I just love the ladies who work in charity shops. They're very kind and chatty, and it seems all the best gossip comes through their doors.
