Beads for jewelry?

[paysensmom]

Where can I get these at a decent price? Are there whole sale web sites? I want good beads though. Not the plastic ones from oriental trading. I am thinking stone, glass and dyed howlite.

I go to local stores, but come home with five strands of beads and I paid 50 dollars

Any help will be greatly apreciated!

I like Fire Mountain like a PP suggested, I also like auntiesbeads.com. I haven't looked in a long time, but when I was making my wedding jewelry, I shopped often.

I'm going to try to make some wine charms so I'm going to sub to this thread. My Mom also makes jewelry and so does my DD22 so I think I'll share with them as well.
