As I look over the many beautiful gemstone beads, links & big hunks of gorgeous minerals at Lima Beads & other sites, I sit here wishing I had someone to go in with me to share a purchase. For instance, look up the laguna lace agate freeform slices. I would love 2-3 of them but not a full 16" strand! That goes for many other very expensive stones.
If anyone is interested in splitting an order, let me know. I can put them in my Etsy shop & you can get them there. You'd just have to tell me how many you'd like. Say for instance we both want the 12mm grade A blue lace agate beads. You'd like 4 & so would I. I can get 1/2 strand & figure out price per bead, then put them in the shop. You'd get what you want & I'd ship them to you. I understand that might take some trust on your part, as well as mine. I would probably give a week for purchase then open them up for general sale, unless you needed a bit more time.
So, what do you think of this plan? Anyone interested?!
Fyi, here's my wish list, which I'll add to as I see more goodies:

If we put an order in before midnight this Monday, Memorial Day, we can get 25% off if over $100.
So, let me know!
🌈 Moogie
What an excellent idea Moogie. Unfortunately, I have way too much stash right now.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know if that changes because this is a neat idea, although I am in Canada - not sure how that works.
I know what you mean about too much stash! Well, whenever anyone wants to share, they can let me know.
ReplyDeleteHere's my other great idea. I would love to have a weekend beading marathon! Wouldn't it be great if Lima put something together where we would have some instructors teach some classes & also have free beading time where we could all bead & chat together?! I think I'll propose the idea & see what they say.
That would be neat. Kind of like a Webex conference via the computer.
ReplyDeleteI have often thought it would be cool to give a bunch of beaders the same beads and components and see what everyone makes.
My beading friend, Nadia, and I often bead shop together and often choose the same beads or components, but what we end up with is totally different. It's quite cool!
Actually, I mean go to Ann Arbor! I just sent them my scheme as I called it, to Jen in customer service. I'll post when I hear back from them. I have a feeling I'm going to be saying what have I gotten myself into if they say yes!
ReplyDeleteOoooohhhh! That would definitely be cool to meet some of the other Lima chicks/buds too.
ReplyDeleteHa, I just reread some of this. I wanted to add that I never heard back from Lima! They probably think I'm nuts. Maybe they have a small staff & can't even think of doing the extra work involved in putting on a get together. Oh well...
