Yesterday was flea market day, and of course I had to go to check out what types of beads were out there at 2 of my favorite booths and found some really cool beads. I am looking for different teardrop shaped beads to use in bullet casing jewelry. And I found some great silver and gold Chinese glass beads, and a dark blue that I didn't have before. And at that same booth she has great bracelets for $1.
The starfish, dice, and flower shaped beads were from another booth. They usually have really interesting beads that I can't find at any other booths. I can usually find them at the bead store, but it's much cheaper at the flea market.
This is what the blue, silver, and gold beads look like all done up. I really like the gold ones.
Before going home, and after visiting an old friend, I stopped by
Nothing Bundt Cakes shop in Sunnyvale. They have some really yummy cakes. I'm not too into the icing that they use, I am really not an icing person. But I love the cakes, they were really moist!
And last weekend the USS Iowa began it's trip to Long Beach I think, where it is going to be a floating museum. Here's a pic I got from the San Jose Mercury News of the Iowa going under the Golden Gate Bridge. The GG bridge also had it's 75th birthday last weekend. Being from the bay area, I just love the Golden Gate. For me, it's always a symbol of being home.
