There are the canvases at market and the threads too…but then there are the toys! You know the snap trays, the magnets, the bags and ooh so much more.

Have you fallen in love with your snap trays like I have? What did we ever do without them? I have lost count of how many I have collected.

If collecting snap trays wasn’t enough, check out the new toy that they have come up for our beading pleasure! A smaller snap tray lined with beading mat-which keeps the beads from rolling around. Ruth of Bedecked and Beadazzled fame is using this as she adds 1 of several 1000 beads to Bastet. BTW that number is not a typo!

Look at all those bead snap trays. This was the hot, hot, hot item of the market as this collection of 100 was gone in less than 2 hours! I didn’t even get one, since they were pretty much out by the time I got there and then I thought, leave them for the retail shops. Mine is on order…thanks Carol!

A new wonderful fabric from Hug Me…you know the bag company. This picture doesn’t do this justice as it is a lush royal purple. Do you know that these bags are made in the USA?

I fell in love with this red fabric! Almost added this set of bags to my collection…and whew was I happy when someone else did buy these and they were no longer there to tempt me!

I am off to my Sparkles class today with Barbara Elmore. So excited and so looking forward to it!

Notice the center of these paper flowers hanging in the windows of Sundance at the Dallas market. Isn’t that clever?

Today is Derby Day and one of these days I want to be there in person…sipping on that Mint Julep and all those Southern things.

Notice the snap trays in use! Like I said how did we get along with these before? and until next time…keep on stitching
