ARRRGH!

I had a phone call this week from the shop that has been supplying me with beads. They can't get the last two tubes I need. Something to do with their supplier can no longer get them so they can't get them until the new company takes over distribution. They'll eventually be able to get them but have no idea how long it will take. She said she'd try and find out from their supplier which other shops may have them in stock but she wasn't convinced they'd give her that info. I've done a search on the internet for nz sites but I haven't found what I need so far. I may have to do a ring around or some emailing of all the craft shops. So frustrating.
