Check out my lastest ...ummm... investment from Fire Mountain Gems.
I am not a religious person but I reckon if there is a Heaven then this is it!
An assortment of seed beads
Wooden beads and leather cuffs
Cabochons
Delicas
Jump rings and cubic zirconia drops

I have also just re-organised my bead stash (to make room for the new loot)
from this
to this
I have sorted my seed beads into colours keeping size 11/0, 8/0 and 6/0 seed beads together, a separate drawer for 15/0's (not sorted by colour) and my delicas, cubes, drops, hex beads etc are still in the hangers.
I am not sure this new system is going to work for me...
I loved having my beads sorted by size and colour... all my blue 11/0's together, red 11/0's together etc...
it made life easy when starting a new project.
Now I have to fish through the colour drawer separating my sizes.
I guess the sizing is easy to distinguish at a glance but my OCD prefers the other, more organised way!
Let's see how it goes!

oh, my goodnees,they are beautiful :)
oh yeah! That is heaven on earth if I ever saw it! :)
Oh me, oh my...I do wish I had your seed bead stash. I'm getting there, but still find myself never having the right size/color/shape for what I'm trying to do. Instead I order and wait for the delivery. Great system. I was just thinking that I was going to ditch the sorting by size and start sorting by color. I have a tower of drawers similar to yours. Can't wait to see what you will make with some of this new stash.
I'm sooo jealous! :)) Fabulous stash!
I'm getting strength for reorganizing my workspace. :) It's gonna take a while...
xo,

Ahhh, you must feel like the pirate's favorite lass!! Nice organizing!
Love your stash, Karyn! It's always worth putting in a large order with FMG to qualify for big savings. Those CZ drops are so pretty, do you have something special planned for them? Or did you just have to have them?! LOL ;-)
I have yet to find a storage system that works for me. No matter what I try, I spent fruitless time searching for that little baggie of something-I-know-I-bought way back when.
I hope you'll post an update to show how it's working for you.
Oh yeah that is heaven can I come over and help you search through the sizes? Oh I am jealous!
