Thinking of beads 🌸

Choices are hard but once a definite choice shows up – it gets easier. Having natural colors is most common choice; so I picked these colors. The hard part is which color?

Oh, it snowing in Fairbanks Alaska. I didn’t run from the cold- I ran to the beads at “Beads & Things. ❤️🌸
