Bead Shows
 

Do any of you still lingering here attend bead shows in your area? If so,
which ones are your favorites and why? Do you have a favorite bead show
vendor?

I wish there was a bead show around here. Every fall there is the "Bead
Bop". You buy a ticket and tote (one time only) and visit all the shops
participating. It sounds like so much fun and I'd love to do it once.
Maybe this year I'll just do it and let my husband have the hockey
driving instead.

That Bead Bop sounds like fun! What area are you in?

Bead Shows
 

I buy a lot of seed beads from Beyond Beadery when I see them at
shows. I do the Houston International Quilt Festival and they are
often there, as is Shipwreck Beads and a few others. I like the Bead
Renaissance Show in Denver in the Fall and there is a Bead Bazaar
along with the Gem and Mineral Show in Denver in the Spring.
Sooz spoke very highly of the BABE (Bay Area Bead Extravaganza) that
is twice a year in San Francisco. I know other vendors there but
havent been myself.

Bead Shows
 

I'm in New Hampshire, US. I think it is 6-7 shops, mostly smaller ones.
I've been to a few of them, but would love an excuse to bead shop all day.

hmm - you have given me an idea - I know the ladies that run Celebration
of Needlework. And I know a bead shop owner very well. I wonder if I
could get them together.

I've been to couple of gem and mineral shows, but I don't recall ever
seeing beads other than already strung.

Bead Shows
 

Unfortunately, our local bead shows are miles apart. My favorite one, Amy's
Beads, has "bead night" once a month, where you can bring your works in
progress and cheerfully bead with other like-minded beaders. If I were to go
to the local bead shops all in one day, I could easily put over 50 miles on
my car.

Bead Shows
 

We get the Bead Mercantile show (Janes Fiber & Beads) twice a year, in
January and June, the Down The Street Bead Show twice a year, Intergalactic
twice a year, and every now and then E-Bead shows (small but quality
vendors). I usually stock on seed beads at the Bead Mercantile, although
Atlanta Beads also has quality seed beads. Once a year we get The Best Bead
Show in Miami, which has great vendors and amazingly low prices. I may have
to check out Beyond Beadery online.

Oh I'd be putting a lot more than 50 miles if I were to try and do Bead
Bop. The way to do it is with friends and make day of it and split the
driving!
