zip-type baggies: I have 2 resources for reasonably-priced zip-type baggies -- Shipwreck Beads in Olympia, WA (360)754-2323 or http://www.shipwreck-beads.com -- also a wholesale jeweler's supply called Rio Grande, also known as the Bell Group, Their tollfree # is 1-800-545-6566, their website is http://www.riogrande.com It takes a bit of effort to get with these guys -- they are a " to-the-trade" supplier. When I got my account with them, about 11 years ago, they sent me an application for a Jewelers Board of Trade rating, essentially a credit check I think. I sent the completed application back to them and they forwarded it to the JBT, and as soon as they got the info back, they opened my account. They have 3 catalogues -- gems and findings, display and packaging, and tools and equipment. The things I use the most of are the zippy-bags, shipping cartons, epoxy resin, RTV mold rubber and tools -- great tiny jeweler's tools! They carry several models of flexible-shaft rotary tools and I like my Dremels but my Foredom flex shaft is so much more versatile -- it has a foot pedal for very precise speed control! Anyway, call them at the number above, and you'll find that, along with great products, they have the absolutely most friendly and helpful customer service staff. And back to Shipwreck -- they advertise the world's largest selection of beads and I've been to their store and they're not exaggerating -- I thought I'd died and gone to bead heaven.

Small Ziploc bags: Try eBay for those tiny baggies. There are TONS of listings and at very reasonable prices. You might also try PaperMart. Their site is: http://www.papermart.com/ and they carry different size baggies, both clear and ones with the white space/label on one side so that you can write on them. Use a sharpie, permanent ink pen for that, so the writing doesn't smear or rub off. Gerda |

White Straws: i went to the train shop with my husband today and found long white styrene tubes that look just like white straws but they are much more durable than straws and will last forever, styrene is very sturdy, there is 3 in a package and are 14" long and cost $1.79 they can be cut to any length the package says 1/4 " tube, my husband has a Walthers catalog that's for model trains, you can order directly from them and it will be much cheaper. here is the web address http://www.walthers.com "Sue's Mail" |

MBS Clear Plastic Bath Fixtures: There sure has been a lot of interest in the clear plastic bathroom pieces from Model Builders Supply! That's great. It's a wonderful product and easy to use. I just use plain acrylic paint and you paint the pieces from the under side - not the top - so they look bright and shiny when you look at them. Just like a real ceramic product. No sealing is required. Two coats usually does the trick. Their address is: They sell retail and also have a wholesale price list for business's with the usual documentation required. Their prices are a lot less expensive than a comparable product that is available through the US. And remember - you are dealing with Canadian dollars! Major bonus for you in the States. They have a wide variety of other products but here are the stock numbers on the ones we've been yakking about. They also have prepackaged Bathroom sets: With all of these items, you need to specify whether you want clear or white. For tiles - they have different sizes. The size is the number of blocks per square inch. I don't know what their retail prices are in US dollars but guaranteed - you'll be pleased with both price and quality. Debi in Quesnel |
