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? Linda2 |

Linda2 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. Cheryl |

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. C On 6/3/11 5:55 PM, Linda2 wrote: That Bead Bop sounds like fun! What area are you in? "Cheryl wrote in message ...

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. Cheryl |

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. "Cheryl Isaak" wrote in message ... I'm in New Hampshire, US.

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. "Cheryl Isaak" wrote in message ...

Bead Shows
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! On 6/4/11 9:48 AM, Linda2 wrote: Unfortunately, our local bead shows are miles apart.
