Killing Time, Waiting for Our Truck Shipment

With absolutely not one wholesale source of stained glass supplies in Eastern Canada for the past three months, we seem to be managing fine. Today in comes eight skids of glass and supplies fixing the majority of our out-of-stocks as well as us introducing some exciting new stuff!
So what's coming in at any minute?
Lead cames (see if you can figure this one out- we buy a Canadian product from a U.S. supplier cheaper than when we bought it from our Canadian supplier!), straight line bevels, Morton Tools, etching cremes, all foils in all sizes and colours (oops, chartreuse was backordered...), every single Sys96 glass colour including the newest ones from Spectrum and Uroboros, textured fusing/slumping molds, all Spectrum Clear textures, all regular Spectrum opals, cathedrals and streakies, vase caps (yup- including the square ones), zinc cames, metal castings (nymphs, butterflies, gargoyles, etc), tinned copper wires, Yogi Stipples including a whole bunch of sale squares at almost 50% off, all English Muffles, tube hinges, silver bails, triolyse glue in bulk size, 96 Noodles and Stringers, 96 Clear Frits and Powders, left handed Supercutters...
Of particular interest- a dozen Pink Opals from Kokomo, Wissmach, Armstrong and Uroboros. And most exciting- we now are bringing in Oceana Ring Mottles- absolutely stunning!

WOW! That's a lot of stock! Hope you're not planning to have Vanna unload the truck all by herself ... otherwise, you may need to pick her up off the floor.
