Ah! Does the hole run through the narrow neck end (making them dangle) or from top to bottom?
(Can you tell I should be HW or something useful LOL)

@Renegade Sewist - perhaps a small parcel???  :)

We're looking at $15 to $20  postage with a 7 to 21 days delivery window from the US. After I find them, box them, get my 2nd vaccine shot so I can deal with the post office.  :S  You'd probably be done making lace before you got them. If you don't get enough soon maybe in a couple of months?
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

Are you still needing any more beads? I have some seed pearls in cream and a light turquoise and some stone flattened round beads in deep turquoise/green mottled colours.
I also have various drilled gemstone chips, but think they are probably too small/irregular for what you want but happy to send a selection if they would suit.

They sound lovely AxexP although I'm not sure what size they are?
 Shall I message you?

I'd like to say a huge THANK YOU! to the folks who sent me beads for spangling  :loveit:

All the packages arrived together this morning - it was like my birthday! And the things sent are just wonderful - so many shapes and colours, it's amazing.

Extra things were put into the local food bank collection by way of payment and thanks, and I shall be playing all day  :)

Thank you all so much
Be happy and well
Leila

There will be pictures of the freshly spangled bobbins, won't there?   :D
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

The wonderful pressed glass shaped beads, and th smaller glass sparkles are from @sewmuchmore

The raspberry-textured beads and lovely white glass arrowhead shapes from @Sandra
  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

And some semi-precious beads from @Alexp - lapis lazuli, river pearls and clear quartz

All of these are on vintage East Midlands style bobbins. I am extremely grateful for all the lovely selections sent, and I'm going to spend happy hours working with these and creating lovely spangles
Thank you all so much
