In A Language You Don't Know

Vintage plastic beads, silver wire, sterling silver earwires.
While digging through the mountains of beads at what my colleague Elise has dubbed the House of Extreme Jewelry Components in NYC, I found a bag of very nifty deep green geometric beads, which promptly went into my box of treasures. A few minutes later, I found another such bag, only these were translucent instead of opaque and smaller. I squeaked very happily in a most undignified manner and put them into my box of treasures too.
