Wow !! What a awesome deal you got there 😍😍. I have looked on Mercari so many times but never find any good deals on jewelry at this awesome price . You surely found some treasures in this lot . Thanks for sharing all the information on the beads . 🤗
Man I'm a new maker, so far I've only learned (by myself) how to hand knot malas and string bracelets on elastic, and so far I've only worked with gemstones. But I am stepping up to wire stringing and memory wire. Just got my first Czech glass bead mixes and I am loving your Mercari hauls! I think I might start getting the Bargain Bead Box subscription. Thanks for sharing so much with us! 😍
I found this about Lucite/acrylic. "Lucite is actually a brand name. It is the brand name of DuPont’s acrylic type of material that has the properties of plastic and glass, which means it is clear. It is heavier, as well, compared to traditional plastic." "Lucite is heavier. Lucite is another type of plastic; that is, acrylic. Plastic is a synthetic, or semi-synthetic polymer. Lucite is more dense. Lucite is carved out." Well now I know.
hey Aleshia, wonderful haul. The little wired flower is a vintage French millinery flower from the 1930s, I have a bunch of them, they are really cool on bracelets, but they are fragile. They were used back in the day to embellish ladies fancy hats and such. Just a bit of useless info 😁 but cool imho
Wow what a haul! I thought I had hit the jackpot because I had been buying discounted stuff just before A.C. Moore went out of business. I am going to look into Mercari because there are things I have I am never going to use . I finally figured out my design style, So I want to make room for that new stuff that mirrors that . I love your designs . I can't wait to try making something from your tutorials Thank you for your inspiration, tips and sharing your haul with us and btw your nails look fabulous
Hello Alicia! Happy new year! I love love love those lampwork beads! Especially the flower petal like one😍😆I am still watching 🤣 but had to say You scored!!! Stunning colors!!! Blessings😊
Years ago I got some of those shell focal strung that you held up unsure of the front from JTV. Yes the side you thought was front, the flat side, is the front.
The orange and brown beads you said was recycled glass looks like Gobi beads. If you go on JTV jewelry making and put that in ,they have a strand of those and it looks just like it. Reminds me of jelly candy.🙂
What a fabulous haul! I've lots of Czech beads in Walmart in those .98¢ bags....holy cow, I've gotten some very cool beads. The little black Czech beads are called saucer beads (I think). Gorgeous haul.... can't wait to see what you make 🙂
I too hit Walmart and they had some fab stuff there in the 98 cent bags but now they have cleaned up their craft section and good unique beads has been harder to come across.
I used to check the clearance isle at Wal-Mart every time I went in hopes that the beads would be clearanced at 50 cents, but they really haven't done that for a really long time. :( Just recently, I was able to find some gemstone beads there, so you never know what you might find. Good haul!
Some of the lampwork beads look like murano glass beads. If you have ever checked them out before they make beautiful glass beads I would definitely put some of those in separate bags. Then hopefully they won't break.
The black and white stones in the first box - about the 15 min mark look like zebra jasper. The long beads at 35 min are jasper. At 44:30 - those are crackle agate (most likely dyed). At 53:30 the last stone in that box looks like it is dyed magnesite. At 1:21:19 - That may be Rhodonite instead of Rhodochrosite. They look very similar, but Rhodonite does not have the black inclusions that Rhodochrosite has. Shortly after - the lighter green rondelles look like Olivine. Magnesite is not man-made - it is a natural stone, but it is frequently dyed. Genuine Howlite is actually very rare, and most stones sold as Howlite are actually magnesite.
Hi Beautiful, I’m new at this with bead boxes and you tube, and I have been watching your bulk collection, wanted to ask, girl where do you find this gems lol .. I love beads it’s one of my favorite hobby for personal reasons. Love your hauls …Tx
Linhasita is a brand from Brazil, and the factory is not too far from where my family lives. U got a huge deal on those. Was this a 1 time deal or does this Mercari vendor sell more?
Most expensive beads I have bought on a strand are Seraphinite. They are beautiful green with feathery silver inclusions. The wholesale price for a 16 inch strand of 4mm flat squares was $52 - I got them on sale. For very high quality beads at a lower price, if you can find a bead show where anyone can go, but the vendors are ones that typically only sell wholesale, you can find fantastic deals - sometimes 80%+ off wholesale. Overall most expensive were the emerald cut Amethyst from a mine in Arizona - a matched pair for earrings and a little larger one for a necklace.
Yessss I started shopping with Mercaría about 3 years ago I was cleaning out my closet of Clark shoes but they didn’t want to give me the right price these shoes are brand new and Clark are not cheap. I hope you check your bead’s before you give a review because they are real good about helping you out with your purchase I’m going to give you some of the shops I purchased all my bead’s from on Mercari lot of the shops on Mercari used to have stores after Cov19 hit they closed there stores and start sales on that sites
you can find information inside the on one sida, but 4 in the the plastic does not mean 4 mm, in fact it is a 1mm thick wax cord, also have in 0,8 mm and 0,5mm
Good morning, I don't speak English and I've been following you for a long time. I could add subtitles in Spanish to be able to understand it better. Thank you.

Those beads you found from Walmart are a awesome find. Good for you!

Beautiful! Great haul! Absolutely love the pearls in the first batch!
Everything is gorgeous. You always seem to find fantastic treasures.
I LOVE watching your Mercari haul videos...well, any of your haul videos. :D I always learn something new from you in these type of videos. Thank You!

I would love to see some projects made from the leaves and flowers mix 1:04 (the ones you dumped and sifted through)

I love that color polish on your nails 💅🏼 so perfect and really beautiful! By the way the beads are great too!
Oh my...my fingers are tingling...I want to touch and sort those leaves/flowers
Envious very nice find. Looking forward to your projects with this haul.

Linhasita is a brasiñian brand cord waxed, it is the one I use, I find it in Madrid
The black and white stones in the first box - about the 15 min mark look like zebra jasper. The long beads at 35 min are jasper. At 44:30 - those are crackle agate (most likely dyed). At 53:30 the last stone in that box looks like it is dyed magnesite. At 1:21:19 - That may be Rhodonite instead of Rhodochrosite.

Do you use the cord for stringing pearls?
Im enjoying spending my one relaxing Saturday afternoon with you. Thank you
Are u able to share who the vendor is for Linhasita waxed cord?
Linhasita is a brand from Brazil, and the factory is not too far from where my family lives. U got a huge deal on those. Was this a 1 time deal or does this Mercari vendor sell more?

For $36 ,you got a amazing deal. That cord alone is so expensive from Sandra Younger. Anything from JTV is a least double for Anything you buy.

Wow!! Beads Galore!! ❤️❤️😍😍😁😁
there are 100 gr each I think, I like it very much for bracelets or macrame stuff
Great finds ❤
Hi Alesha, you have the best luck with finding deals!!
Man was I overwhelmed by all this. What a haul.
@@kathsmith5064 I wish I had such luck, lol
I wish you would have only told me ! Now I'm going to go there and it will be only crappy beads 😄💖
Awesome! Such a great haul!
you can find information inside the on one sida, but 4 in the the plastic does not mean 4 mm, in fact it is a 1mm thick wax cord, also have in 0,8 mm and 0,5mm
Love your nails! What's the color?
Magnesite is a natural stone. It’s mined. It’s not mam made. But is easy to dye.
It says that Mercari is not available in Canada
I sorry that's a bummer.
What jewelry do you use the cord with??
yes I was wondering the same thing. It looks too thin for macrame.
You can do fine macrame with this cord. There are a lot of knot styles that look nice between beads too.
You knot it to add clasp/closure ??
@@wineflavor there are many ways. The knots can also be spacers between beads. Alicia has a few vidoes.
I missed what she paid for the second haul, did anyone catch that?
What a find! WOW!!!
Holy cow, that is an awesome haul!
Thank you!😊
My Walmart doesn't have a dollar beadman I don't think
The black and white beads are, I BELIEVE are Dalmatian Jasper.
Thank you for the video!!!!
Absolutely fantastic deals for the amount you received. 💖🌹💍💎
The cords are written in Portuguese and seems like a Brazilian brand all right 🇧🇷💌
Drooling
I made items like the tree 🔝
Good morning, I don't speak English and I've been following you for a long time. I could add subtitles in Spanish to be able to understand it better. Thank you.
Lucite is a better plastic and supposedly shatterproof, thermal plastic.
Why in the world would someone sell all their bead collection so cheaply!?!
It could be an estate type thing where non-beading family didn’t know what to do with the stuff.
one whole spoole costs me 3,5 to 4 euros each and all of the same type cost the same,
this guy imports it directly from brasil
Las uñas. producen asco.....que pesar.....
