Bird books vs beading bounty

Private swap between @PJ and Patumma. As agreed in pms as follows: So how about this ... you have got a long history with S-B and great ratings. I have been on for only a couple of months and while I think my ratings suggest I'm trustworthy, you are obviously the more experienced and respected swapper. Since I really want one or both of those bird books, but don't want to go outside my stash to get them, how about I send you what I sorted out from my bead stash this afternoon. When you get it, you make up a package that "matches" and send it back. I have no doubt that I will be delighted. Oh yes, and we can set it up as a private swap to protect both of us. To recap previous conversations - you expressed a preference for a small quantity each of the natural stone that I have. I've sorted out small numbers (2-8) of some of the larger stones (volcanic, turquoise, carnelian, etc). I've also included some partial strands of some smaller stones, some metal beads, a couple of charms, and some odds and ends that I like but don't fit with the kind of jewellery I usually make so thought it would be worthwhile seeing if you could use them.
