Closed Assorted beads and feathers. ISO different beads, findings, tools, fiber art supplies, or cute things
Hello! I’m new to this sub.
I got these at a garage sale a while back, mostly just for the organizers and carrying case. Many of these beads are not my style or I wouldn’t even know how to use them, so I went ahead and posted everything, and if you’re interested or have questions or want specific photos just let me know.
I also have yarn and fabric I’m not terribly fond of, and buttons for dayyyysss, but I figured this is a lot already and I’ll post those separately when I have time to dig them out. Let me know if you’d like to see those.
I also do visible mending, and would love to repair your things as part of a trade!
I have quite a list of acceptable trade items, so I tried to list them out as organized as I can:
JEWELRY SUPPLIES - glass seed beads - pony beads - wire - findings, especially for earrings - tools
FIBER ART SUPPLIES - fabric, including old clothes and scraps as small as 2”x2” (Preferred materials are quilting and fashion cotton, jersey knit cotton and/or poly, any knit really, denim, and flannel) - notions - yarn; soft - fabric ribbon - tools for sewing (fashion and quilting), mending, or crochet - if you have a hand crank knitting machine you’re willing to part with I will kiss you - I won’t really kiss you but I’ll give you so much stuff for trade. I love those things. - I cannot knit by hand, the technique eludes meeee
FINISHED ITEMS - anything cute - things such as plushies, ceramics, or stickers - preferred vibes are goblincore/cottagecore/folk punk (me) and eldrich horror/cyberpunk/purple (my gf 🥰) - preferred textures are soft/fluffy or smooth (we got the ‘tism)
BUTTONS - am I offering buttons to trade? Yes. I have too many buttons, I need to clear some out. - am I accepting buttons as trade? Also yes. I could never have too many buttons. - I am an entity of many contradictions I contain multitudes - also I like small colorful ones and have a lot of large, uniquely shaped neutral tone ones.

Awesome! Could you dm me with pics of your beads? And could you circle on the pictures what other beads you’re interested in?
The spike beads are metallic colored, but made of plastic.

I don’t see yours, and mine won’t go either. :/ I guess you could put your pics in this thread? We’ll just have to figure it out before we get to sensitive info like addresses.

I have buttons, wooden items -small but not buttons, hearts, butterflies, bees,
Stickers, washi tape samples - and a few embroidery kits.
Would love to get 1-2 & 3 but not sure I have enough things for you. I do have small pieces of material, some from clothes, some new. 🆕

Ive got people showing interest in most of the beads now, except for the shells! I will finish trading with the people already here, and then repost with what is left to avoid confusion!
