Joyce, Jan, Tazart, Jamie, Carl Carole Morris and all the rest of you out there (I feel like this is the Academy Awards of Bead Id and I don't have enough time to name all of you), I want tot thank you for your generosity of time and knowledge. You patiently deal with us newbies and share your expertise in a world that normally expects payment. I am awed by your knowledge. Thank you so much for vitilazing this forum! On a personal note I want to learn the difference between the late 19th-early 20th century Venetian beads and the mid 20th century Venetian beads :-)
