Kate,
This is Jeanne, the other jewelry maker. May I ask where you buy your supplies? So far I have purchased from Firemountain Gems and Artbeads.com. I've had good luck with both these companies. Firemountain has a flat $5 shipping fee and Artbeads ships for free.I am always looking for new sources for supplies. The prices in the retail stores are just so expensive and most of the time, they don't have what I need. I look forward to seeing your finished charm bracelet.
Hugs
Jeanne
