Some of my favourite things....
Purple turtle on golden sand
Wee bird soars high on fragile wings
And a cool cicada that sweetly sings....

...these are some of my favourite beady things that I'd like to share during this season.
All three creatures are beads and have perforations for stringing. They may date as far back as the Pyu dynasty (around 2nd century BC to 11th century AD) and comes from Myanmar. Here's a closer look at each of them starting from the amethyst turtle.

| Very tiny turtle measures 2 cm in length |
Next is the rose quartz bird

| Height of rose quartz bird 1.5cm |
Last the cool cicada is also made from rose quartz
 |
| Height of cicada 2cm |
And to wish beaders and collectors all over the world a Merry Christmas and Beadiful New Year, I have decorated pine cones with assorted beads and topped them with one ancient jade (rein)Deer.

Happy Jade Collecting and Beading Season |
