New Collection/Hobby

[Seaghost24]

Hey guys. I have recently started to collect (for use) old vintage jewelry and beads. I am learning how to repair and make jewelry. So here is the pitch. Anyone have any of this old (what some might consider junk) costume jewelry or beaded stuff. Handmade that can be taken apart and reconstructed earings, necklaces, bracelets, broaches, rings, rosearies, even some old hair barrets, keychains, watches and cuff links. Also any old pendants or charms. If you have something of real value, please don't send it. I will be taking most everything apart and reconstructing it. I have been hitting all the second hand stores and yard sales in my area. Found some really fun stuff. I would like to find some shark teeth and Hawaiin beads. I am in a limited area, so I now turn to anyone who has a box full of this type of stuff that can't seem to throw it out, but never uses it. Anyone who sends me stuff will get something newly made in exchange. Many Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Hey, there is a tourist trap right up the road that sells sharks teeth cheap. LMK if you want some.

If you run across any old jadeite beads hook me up. I've been cutting my own, but it's very, very, very time consuming.

I am thinking about getting back into photography. I took it in college (not digital), but don't remember a thing about SLR cameras.
