Sad to say, but these are the only glass Nigerian beads I have left. Since they are not replaceable I try to use them sparingly, but there are currently 5 necklaces in my collections where these beads are featured. Read the back story of these little treasures here: https://bit.ly/39cHK0C, and stay tuned... more to come about the necklaces!

I forgot I had taken this picture when I was was in Nigeria, and I’m so thrilled to rediscover it!! These men are making glass beads from bottles, which were the first beads I ever purchased. You can read more about them on my website. Just go to the ‘About the Designer” section.

I’ve been busy making new necklaces and earrings and hope to be able to add them to my website in the next few weeks. I made these yesterday. Do you recognize the beads from yesterday’s post?

Here is an excellent article highlighting the important work that The Native Women's Shelter and Resilience Montreal are doing for the homeless indigenous people, after the horrific death of Raphael Napa Andre near the Open Door Shelter.

A warming tent for Montreal's homeless population has been erected in Cabot Square and will be open during the overnight curfew for the next two weeks for those who seek shelter from the cold.
