> [@Zabali\_Clawbane](#): > > [Fire Mountain Gems and Beads](http://www.firemountaingems.com/). [Bead](http://www.firemountaingems.com/crystal_beads.asp) [porn](http://www.firemountaingems.com/gemstonebeads.asp)! One day I’ll get [some](http://www.firemountaingems.com/Search.asp?SKW=toggle%20clasps&Cat=KWCLASPSTERLINGBARTOGGLE) of their [findings](http://www.firemountaingems.com/findings.asp) for some really nice projects, and see how well I can do. I’m already making nice things with decent components, I’d like to see how a project came out with excellent components. Ooooh, oooh, another fan of bead porn! I just got my new Fire Mountain Gems catalogue in the mail yesterday! _Bliss_! I call it my beadie bible. I also love my IKEA catalogues. I haven’t seen a Sears catalogue in years and years, but I remember as a child, and even well into adulthood, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the _Wishbook_ each year. ---

I like looking through the [O’Reilly book catalogue](http://www.oreilly.com/). Not so much for the tech stuff as to look at all the pretty animals. 😉 ---

> [@Harimad-sol](#): > > Do you ever actually buy anything there? I’ve been studying their clothes very carefully lately, and some of them look good. Yep, I’ve ordered jeans, shirts, and even a swimsuit from them (online). I like their stuff, they have good customer service, and their return policy _rocks_. 🙂 ---
