We ended up in the kid's bedroom section, where all the good stuff is, like mermaid sheets, stuffed mermaids, unicorn lamps..and llama lamps. I did end up getting a good side table lamp: We also went past rows of judgemental bunnies: Back home I took a couple more photos: Cardinal sitting in our trees, waiting for me to refill the bird feeder,and finally the cat sitting in her couch cave: K is here so we also went to the mall and the Beadcave  again!

Yes, it's back to JBC beads! Akutenshi07 took this photo, and we spent quite a while there this time, though I still haven't really looked much at the jewelry findings. Mostly I poked through the sale section--I did go specifically to get some tiny swarovski beads, and once I found those, I just picked up things that I will find a use for later: This gives you an idea of what the items on the sale table cost--I paid retail for them (what is on the tags) and they were still cheaper than JoAnns, with a lot of variety. These are all glass, though the ones at the top were possibly garnet--they were a bit more expensive. I also got a cloisonne bead and several tubes of Toho beads. I could buy Toho beads all day ;)                                                                             ...

So this place, JBC Beads , is actually BIGGER than this photo..there is a second room with elastic, leather, every kind of jewelry finding you can imagine, and a whole wall of Toho beads. They have the tiny Swarovksi beads I love, and in all colors. We were driving past where I thought it was, this evening around 4:30; and even though I knew they closed at 5, we decided to see if we could find the showroom. (If you want to go in person, be sure to look at the Street View google provides, because it's on a tiny street off Main street, in an anonymous building behind a strip mall.) And even when you go into the building, it's just a blank hallway with a staircase and some small hand-printed signs directing you to go downstairs. You go downstairs, to your right, and then right again; put your purse in one of the empty lockers (keep your wallet), lock the locker, take the key, hang up your coat, put your head in the showroom door and yell "Hellooo".  :D Its proba...
