I also am in love with Beth Hemilla's Hint charms and just got my first. I have discovered a glass artist from Germany that is to die for (and who I will be meeting in person next month!). I also love Green Girl Studios, Mamacita, Lynn Davis and Joan Miller. I have not met an art bead I didn't like (and my hoarding is out of control).<br />Enjoy the day!<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970061452216126850.post-16216650302020290862010-05-22T12:19:13.999-04:002010-05-22T12:19:13.999-04:00I get my inspiration from you :}
