Wanted - glass beads or necklaces for bobbin spangles please

[LeilaMay]

I've a pile of lace bobbins to spangle, and the 'no charity shop shopping for a year' has left my bead tin sadly denuded 

If any one has any loose glass beads or glass bead necklaces to gift away or sell I would be very interested please.
NOT the tiny seed beads, but the range of size you get on the old graduated necklaces is great. Any colour - the bobbins aren't particular 

With many thanks
Leila May

ADDED - sizes are probably between 3 and 8 mm mostly.

@LeilaMay i have some in my bead box, i will get a photo later and see if they are any good to you.

[LeilaMay]

Thank you

[sewmuchmore]

Any of these of use? I know traditionally you use glass but i have some chunky wooden ones if they are any good.

I have a pale blue glass bead necklace - shall.i take a picture?

[LeilaMay]

@sewmuchmore - from the first picture, any/all of them apart from the very long thin salmon coloured ones? I don't think their shape lends themselves.
The wooden ones, no thank you, as they don't provide enough weight - but thank you very much for the offer of them - some of them do look beautiful 

Shall I message you?

Wish I could help @LeilaMay. I have the perfect beads, most all pre 1920. My bobbins have the most beautiful beads on them. I just have a few bobbins, walnut,  detailed turning, and those fabulous beads.

@annieeg I shall message you, thank you very much!

[LeilaMay]

@Renegade Sewist - perhaps a small parcel???

@LeilaMay  How many do you need?  Are you sorted now?

I've had a little box full lying around for 25 years or so. Not really pretty or spangly but they're a good weight...definitely not wooden or plastic...(I think the 'pearl' ones are coated which makes them look cheap and plastic.)

They're mostly in the size range you need. Some are larger.
Don't want anything for them except whatever the postage will cost.

@LeilaMay any use?

[LeilaMay]

Hi @Ellabella - not sure I can make out what that packet is? If it's bugle beads - the long thin kind - then thank you so much but no thank you. I'm aiming for round beads to make a little hanging circle of beads on wire - bugle beads never lend themselves to that for me. But thank you so much for offering
