I finished the Italian Holiday collection this weekend. Sterling silver posts, fit up to size 10 needles (10.5 fits but is in my opinion a little snug), vintage/antique and contemporary beads purchased on our trip to Italy this past summer (with Japanese seed beads as accents). Special travel quotes on the back, coordinating ribbons for storage…..
Dainty vintage green and pink beads:
Green & Rose
And this, from contemporary Murano beads:
Sparkly Brown and Blue
And finally these, more contemporary beads from Murano:
Fiery Murano

Love these! I will have to find you the link to the most amazing bead shop that we happen to have here in town. They are Italian, and the name of the shop is Gioielli’s (sp) which is “jewel” in Italian. They go to Italy at least once a year and find these tiny artists who only make a small amount of specific beads each year and bring them back…then they also have the usual stuff, but it’s sure fun to look around their store!
