Fruit basket (Apple) 50p/ 0.65 Euros/ US$1


This is a simply delightful apple charm. Very unusual! I've been looking for such charms for ages, but this is the first time I've found them! They're very, very light (made of varnished paper I believe? Despite the lightness, they are not easily crushed) and can be used in earrings. Of a good size, they'll also do very well in necklaces or charm bracelets.
First in a series of fruit charms.

More coming soon...

Hello Divine~ unfortunately tt's all tt I was able to upload last night. Got back from work at 11 plus and fell asleep in the middle of uploading! Will upload more tonight, feel free to drop me any comments or requirements via email :) Have a nice day today!

Opal petal (Czech) 50 for 2.70 pounds/ 3,40 Euros/ US$5.60


This lovely curved opal-coloured Czech petal bead is charming. There is a hole runningthrough the width of the bead (the hole is located at the pointed end, at the top of the picture, near the number 5) which mkes it perfect for dangling earrings, charm bracelets, or lariat necklaces.
3 lots of 50 available. Get all, and there's a discount! :)

Golden tear (Czech) 50 beads for 6 pounds/ 7.50 Euros/ US$12.50 (2 lots available)


This amber teardrop would do wonderfully as the petals of flowers. Also great as an accent bead in any piece of jewellery.
You might wonder why this bead is so much more affordable than "Czech Swirls" Well the reason is tt this bead does not have the same amt of detail- it is a nice clear golden brown, with no lampwork details inside.
Only 2 lots of 50 beads available!

Czech swirls (only 10 available) 1.50 pounds/ 1.90 EUros/ US$3


This photo is not a gd portrayal of this lovely Czech bead, which is 1 of my favourites in my collection :) I'll be sad to part with them, but I've already made 1 necklace with this bead, so it's not like I won't have any left!

With swirls of blue and purple, each bead is slightly different, and a glossy smooth finish makes it 1 classy looking bead (Can a bead look classy? Well it's a bead tt will add class to any piece it graces :) )

Divine, I hope these beads were what you had in mind when you asked for Czech beads! If not, do let me know what you have in mind! I also have seed beads which I will upload soon :)

Storage box 7.40 pounds/ 9 Euros/ US$15


As the name of the blog so aptly sums up, this shop aims to provide you with ALL your beading necessities, and this obviously includes storage containers! I don't know abt you guys, but I often find my creativity hindered by lack of storage boxes, because I can't see all my beads together!

Tt's what I love abt this plastic box. It is clear and large, so tt you can store many types of beads together. I have put a bead & a 5p coin inside to give u a sense of the size. But one thing it doesn't convey well is the depth of the box, which is around 3 cm.
One thing to note though is tt some of the latches can be tricky. You need to position your fingers towards the bottom of the latch to ensure tt it slides in well. Once u get the box, you'll see what I mean.
I do have other boxes which have better latches but they're nowhere as large. Correspondingly they're cheaper too :) Anyway drop me a line if u're interested :) Pls also email me to let me know what you think abt my beads! I'm feeling a lil self-conscious at the amt of "monologuing" tt I'm doing :)

Black and white rainbow 6 Pounds/ 7.50 Euros/ US$12.50


There are slightly over 30 of these lovely quartz beads on 1 string. What attracted me to this string of semi-precious beads, out of the many strands at this shop, was how clear and the quartz was and the lovely pattern that the black streaks within the quartz formed. (The photo has just uploaded- it does not look lovely and clear here at all- more like murky and blur! Need to do something abt my photography skills- once I've earned some money from this site I plan to take a photography course! :) )
Currently only 2 strands available, but I fully mean to buy more strands soon!
