| Vintaj Brass Butterfly from Too Cute Beads |
Fire Polish Czech Crystals are some of my favorites, too. They are economical and come in tons of colors and finishes. I love the opaques, metallics, and the Picasso finishes best. The opaques come in such bright, vibrant colors that are always my favorite to work with. Fire Polish have changed a great deal with all the new finishes in the few years since I began beading.

| Lucite Sampler from The Hole Bead Shoppe |
LUCITE FLOWERS & LEAVES! I can't get enough! I love, love, love them! The flexibility of these lovelies is endless. I use them in fringe, earrings, and my new Swap-It pendants. So many colors and possibilities make them a favorite. Also, while I have bought them from various places, I always come back to Kelli and Tarlee at The Hole Bead Shoppe. They are awesome and their service is terrific!

| Designer Glass Rondelles from By C Boutique |
I have known Carla K from the By C Boutique since I started beading. She owned the store that my first bead came from, and then it was a slippery slope. Now she lives in Michigan and works from home selling gorgeous stone beads and FABULOUS designer glass beads. I never thought I would love anything as much as I love Swarovski crystals, but these have moved to the top of my list. The quality, price, and colors make them a terrific beading value and I can use larger ones at a still smaller price than the Swarovski crystals. Carla can be found on Etsy and she has her own webshop.
This is just a small taste of my faves. I didn't even touch seed beads yet! What are your faves?
