I guess I am in the last throes of Winter, and longing for Spring to come to the Appalachian Mountains. It is so beautiful here in Spring.

Any way, over in the corner of my workshop is an old chest of drawers that has had a number of things stacked in front of it for so long that I almost forgot what was actually in it. Well I opened it up this weekend and found 60-some odd strings of mostly European glass beads from the African trade. All of them were higher-grade collector strings that I had put together 15 to 20 years ago.

I meant to post some of these on Sunday show & Tell, but got distracted. Anyway here are some of them now if anybody cares to look:

Happy collecting, Jan Skipper, Mosquitobay
