Source for Sequins

Some of us are lucky enough to have a shop nearby that stocks the sequins that are so popular these days, but many of us don't have that luxury.  You can always mail order, but if you are like me, you hate ordering sight-unseen.  Fortunately, Beth's Needlepoint Nook has come to the rescue with photos of the Sundance and The Collection sequins they stock.  The site will give you a general idea of the colors and prices available, and if you don't have a shop of your own, Beth's does mail order.
