Fish.
Fish are aquatic vertebrates that are typically cold blooded, covered with scales and equipped with two sets of paired fins and several unpaired fins. Fish are abundant in the sea and in fresh water, with species being known from mountain streams as well as in the deepest depths of the ocean. They are of tremendous importance as food for people around the world, either collected from the wild or farmed in much the same way as cattle or chickens. Fish are also exploited for recreation, through angling and fish keeping and are commonly exhibited in public aquariums. Fish have an important role in many cultures through the ages, ranging as widely as religious symbols to subjects of books and popular movies.

Beads.
A bead is a small, decorative object that is pierced for threading or stringing. Beads range in size from under a millimeter to over a centimeter or sometimes several centimeters in diameter. Glass, plastic and stone are probably the most common materials, but beads are also made from bone, horn, ivory, metal, shell, pearl, coral, gemstones, polymer clay, metal clay, resin, synthetic minerals, wood, ceramic, fiber, paper, and seeds. A set of beads made from Nassarius shells, which are approximately 100,000 years old, are thought to be the first known examples of jewelry. Select this link to view our Wooden Cranberry Garland.
