Pet peeve

I hate getting new magazines for crafts, fashion, etc, and when I try to copy a look, pattern or recipe, one of the key ingredients is impossible to find.  My latest example is the new issue of Bead Unique has a gorgeous necklace on page 20 requiring a citrus mix of size 11-0 seed beads which the author bought at Bead weasel.  Well guess what, that store is out of business, including any online transactions.  GRRRR.  What to do?  Look for other sources, but nobody sells them.  Ok, one good thing is I have an EXCELLENT eye for color, so I decided to do it myself.  I think I did a great job, but will know better once the necklace is finished.  Maybe I should go into business making custom bead blends?  LMAO
