Dawn Jenkins, Artist/Owner
I am a big fan of the power of the Internet and I have collected many links to places I love to visit for fun, inspiration and knowledge. Below is a collection of some of these places. I will add to these links on a daily basis, so please make sure to hit refresh when you visit again to update the page.
Some of my favorite places to buy beads and related items on the net:
Czech Beads - you must have a wholesale license to buy from them, but they have great prices and service.
Caravan Beads - they have some of the best selection of Miyuki beads around. I have been ordering from them for years and have been consistently happy.
Halstead Beads - you must have a wholesale license to buy from them, but they have great prices and service.
Veripack - I buy all my boxes from them. They have great prices, reasonable shipping rates and fast service.
Bob Kibirian - He sells on Ebay and has some of the most fantastic Swarovski and vintage beads ever. He is also a great guy..one of my definite favs.
Rainbows of Light - A good place to buy Swarovski Crystal and Pearls.
Some of my favorite places for Inspiration:
Jewelry Making at About.com - I have found some of my best inspiration from all the folks on the forum. The only downside is that there are lots of popup ads..but the information and knowledge here is well worth it.
Florida State University Microscopy Photo Gallery - Totally unrelated to beads or jewelry but some of the most beautiful eye candy ever to be seen by the human eye. You have to see some of these items to believe them.
Some of my favorite places for Information:

International Society of Glass Beadmakers - This is one of the best places to get information and feedback on many aspects of hot glass working.

WarmGlass - Lots of information on fusing and slumping of glass
