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.

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.
