Kay, we have a Michael's here too... But we have a few stores specifically for beads. One's called "Back Door Beads" (I know... such a WRONG name for a store! I totally got the wrong idea when i first saw it!) and it had hundreds of different types of beads. What's the next holiday coming up? Maybe I'll send you a "Because it's Monday" gift or something. LoL

Do you ever work with pewter or anything like that?
