A peek into the JunQue Jules studio

Here is a peek into my very-messy-in-need-of-organizing studio.  I was planning on doing some organizing, but with so many ideas-who has time?  I'll post pictures once I get it organized again.

I love to store my beads and vintage buttons in glass jars. 

It makes it easy to find what I am looking for 

and they are attractive to look at. 

 I also like to show off things like my vintage Bakelite. 

I also love my Fire King Jadeite dishes for storing beads.   

Much to my husband's disappointment, I save just about anything for future creations.  Since I'll be teaching Art again next year, I can find a use for just about anything!  

Favorite Sources for beads

My favorite place to buy beads has got to be Fire Mountian. I can not live without their headpins and silver plated beadcaps. The headpins are always uniform and priced right. Since I do mostly charm bracelets; I use a fair amount of headpins. At the height of my bracelet sales I would actually worry more about running out of headpins than I would milk or eggs. They are a staple around my house.

I also spend a fair amount of time in Hobby Lobby and Joann's. Otherwise, I buy vintage buttons, vintage bubble gum charms, and vintage beads on ebay.
