Our secret Santa emailed prior to Christmas saying they were going to be sending our package somewhat late, well when I saw it was Terry (CICADA) I got pretty excited and got right back to her and said it was no problem when we got our secret Santa gift.

As we had snow that made us not wanting to go to the post office we just got our package on Monday, and did not get to open it until Tuesday. All I can say is triple WOW.

In the first image is an absolutely wonderful Tiarona (Columbia)carnelian agate carved Grub bead, I must say that this is now one of my all time favorite beads, now I have to figure out how to string it so I can wear it. As you can see this bead is quite small being such it is quite hard to get clear images, in your hand I will say it again its wonderful. Size 18mm long 12mm tall.

All my best .............. Danny
