SRS, I have some irregular amber beads I bought from a bric a brac stall made up as a bracelet, which I have restrung with some of those little cylindrical gold beads to make them go further to make a necklace. (I can't get the metal beads locally any more, but they are good for making a few good stones go a long way.)

Today I am moving out four sturdy cardboard boxes and a load of jiffy bags for ebaying to Dad's house, along with my fabric stash. I am also seeing if my sister wants, or knows someone who wants, a stack of music ms paper I rescued when the school threw it out. If she doesn't, do you think anyone could use it here? we are talking at least a ream.
