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.

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.
