The group at the Bead Talk list is putting a Bead Aide shipment of supplies
together to send to her. Here's the message she posted soon after the fire:
Quote:

insurance,

> "I mostly work with smaller seed beads (Japanese 15/o, C***tes, Czech
> 15/o), also some DBs, handmade glass beads, pearls, turquoise and semi
> precious of all kinds, trade beads, heishe, interesting cabs, etc. I
don't

and
> anodized aluminum beads-- that stuff will be really hard to replace."
I have her mailing address and anyone interested in sending some beads can
contact me for it.
