I love the Potomac Beads supplies, kits and service. The toggles in my order are just what I needed. I had an issue with running short on some beads in the necklace kit - BUT reached out and just today received additional beads from them. Can't wait to finish and wear my necklace.
Very nice beads that are exactly as described on the website. Great service with fast shipping. The order was packed with care.
