Waiting and Wishing

So, what do you do when you have used up your whole shopping budget for the month AND borrowed from next month's one? Because I just HAD to buy one of Lorelei and Shannon's beatiful Lima kits. I am so happy I managed to get my hands on one of them. (I saw they have already sold out.)

You dream away, don't you. At least that's what I do. I dream and wish I could get all of the things in the collage below.

And what do you know - as I just now uploaded both the pictures to this post, I realized they kind of share the same color scheme. Is that a coincidence? Or have I been so heavily influenced by Lorelei and Shannon's pick? But, most of these things have been on my wish list for quite some time already. Well, I did of course make a selection today when I did put this collage together. And I decided I would not have a theme at all. Hm, interesting anyway, isn't it. Maybe that was why I fell so completely for the kit. A strong color longing within.

Green Apatite Cross Drilled Nugget Beads - BeadsOnSale
What can you say. I have a weakness for greenish semi-precious stones. AND for side drilled beads. Pretty pretty pretty!

Magnetic Clasp - Smitten Beads UK
I have actually bought one of these once before. Used it in one of the necklaces I made for Lorelei's FusionBeads Challenge in January. Now I want a few more, coz it is a great design which I find very useful in many different kinds of pieces.

Amethyst colored Leather - Fru Parla Sweden
Karin of Fru Parla, a Swedish shop for beads and supplies, always keeps a good selection of colored leather bands. Along with lots of other nice and fun and different things. I hope to meet her personally on the 10th of October when she will sell at a bead show in Taby, on the outskirts of Stockholm.

Green coated brass chain - Bead Trust
I have not yet ever made a purchase from BeadTrust. That is sooooo strange. Coz I really love their range of colorful and fun products.

101 Wire Earrings Book - Interweave Store
I have wished for this book for quite some time now. And just recently it was released as an ebook. That is so great I think. I am sure it will slip into my shopping cart next time I visit the Interweave shop.

Archival Print - SwallowField
I love Jennifer's little art-pieces/collages/illustrations. I would like a whole group of them together on a wall in my house. And a few more here and there to make me happy as I am moving through the house.

Warm Dusky Pink Chunky Hat - Ileaiye
Fall and winter is coming closer. I would like a new hat. Something with more color than the grey one I had last winter. I love the style and color of this one. And all of Ileaiye's things. YUM!

Abstract Raku Beads - Jubilee
Oh, how interesting these are. I would looooooove to use them in a piece. All of them in the same one. A necklace it would have to be. Don't you agree.

Ocean Blue Chai Pendant - MissFickleMedia
You should know by now that I adore all of Shannon's work. Nothing new there. Look, this one is also somehow very cute. I sort of see a compacted Pluto type dog with still long legs. Hope it is ok for Shannon if I say that. Pluto Chai. :-)

What do you wish for?
