And yeah... my copper green stringers from Jon turned into a $100+ order. Why? Well, I -had- to get free shipping, so I just added a few things... Like a pound of odd vetro that I didn't realized until I got it upstairs that I already had 1/4 pound of... But that means I can use it now.

OMG Nikki, me too. I totally panic every time I go to use something scarce because I might end up with an ugly bead. Or I might see the perfect way to use that precious color later, when I've used it all up.
I have eight pounds (!!) of the peach persimmon coral, because I love it and I ordered a pound (or more) with every order until it was gone. I also have excessive poundage of other odd lots.
But I only have one pound of the Vetrofond slate blue odd lot.
Why? Because I controlled myself. That will teach me. Anyone wanna trade for some coral?
