I make Mother's Bracelet's for a charity called Heavenly Angels in Need. The bracelets are given to mommy's who have lost their babies due to prematurity or other reasons. Sometimes they are given as a gift when the baby passes away, with a memory box or other keepsake item.
I am looking for people who would be willing to barter bead, jewelry findings, etc. I sew, crochet, paint, craft, etc. and would be willing to trade their "extras".... I need spacer beads, glass beads, crimping beads, etc. I don't use many plastic beads.
Here is a picture of the latest batch for donation to a photographer who gives the bracelet to the mommy on the 1 year anniversary of the baby getting it's "angel-wings"--

Anyone interested??? I would also take baby fabric, satins in pastel colors, baby or pastel flannels for trade.

Wow -- beautiful! I love how you used the butterflies in the middle of the bracelets -- a real symbol of hope and peace.

Wow Angie~
What a wonderful thing to do. I have some beads and stones. I have strung pearls in the past and I have so much. I would love to donate some to your cause. If you could email me you address I will put a package together in the mail for you in the upcoming week.
What a wonderful heart felt deed. We need more people in the world who help others out!
Warm wishes!

Here are pictures of bracelets made with some of the beads sent by Kris and Georgiann. Thank you for helping me with this project. The bracelets will be going out next week to hospitals and photographers who work with the mom's who have lost babies.

Oh how wonderful!
I received a memory bracelet just after my mom and big brother passed away. They have special beads with: Memory and Hope on them. I love it and know the mommy's love yours too.

Angie,
A package is on its way and was mailed yesterday. It is rather heavy so I sent it parcel post which said it may take 6 days. Hope you can use the beads.
Happy Day!

Angie, I will have to look through my beads because I know I have stuff you could use! With three kids I haven't done much with my beads lately and I would be delighted to send you some! Please e-mail me in case I lose track of this thread!

That is a lovely thing to do. I have some nice crystals I would love to donate to the cause -- I've been trying to pass down many of my crafty items lately, and your angels seem like the perfect place to send my beading things to.

Angie,
Just tonight I took 4 bags full of beads I found at a thrift store to my daughter to see if she could use them and she said no. They had been in a container that I wanted and had to be purchased together so I just figured someday I would find someone who could use them. They are quite small but could possibly be used for spacers. Each bag is 1/2 kg and is marked seed beads. They are very tidy on fine strings. I have royal blue, rose, and off white.
I think you would have enough to last you a lifetime if you can use them. No need to barter anything. Just let me know if you think you could use them. I would love them to go to such a good cause. What a nice thing you do.
