I hate to be the kill joy in this wonderful find but be very careful of insects. Bedbugs in particular. I just had my first experience with them, fortunately they didn't get to the house but It would have been a disaster. I bought some beads at a yard sale. They were so organized and there were 4 big boxes of them.

The owner was a smoker and I didn't want the smell in the house so I took them to an out building I have, till I looked at them and figured out how I was going to get the smoke smell out of the boxes. I looked closer and there were bugs in the corners of the boxes. Just a few but when I dumped them into another box I could see they were bedbugs!!!!!

I got rid of the boxes and the beads are still in the out building in their glass jars. There were hundreds of jars of beads. I just can't bring myself to get rid of them but I am reluctant to bring even the glass jars in yet.

If I had taken them directly to my sewing room..................
