Bead & Button show - who's going???
I think it's time to start a thread on who's going to Bead & Button.
Maybe we can all meet for coffee or something. I'll be there Thursday afternoon - Monday A.M, we are staying at the Hyatt. Anyone who is interested in getting together to talk, have a bead show n tell, etc., please email me offlist, ok? You can email me through my website at www.pattiwhiteley.com or Beadseeker AT aol.com. I'm looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible. I know all of us will be taking classes, sightseeing, etc., but it will be fun to try to meet each other in person. Patti |

Bead & Button show - who's going???
I am at the Hyatt as well. Did not make it into Bead Dreams but got the
nicest encouraging letter to try again next year. They wrote that they were overwhelmed with the high caliber of excellence of all the work submitted so I am really looking forward to viewing the finalists. I entered the non wearables with my own design, beaded NZ flowers. A bunch of Red Pohutukawa and white clematis in a sheath and yellow Kowhai by itself. I have a notebook full of items I want to buy at B&B which are hard or expensive to get here, plus stalls to visit etc. Internet is great for finding out things and I even can read the menus for restaurants. Not long to wait now. Cheers, Jan |

Bead & Button show - who's going???
Su,
We will. If I can tear myself away from the show, do you have any ideas about sightseeing? I've visited the Milwaukee Art Museum. My dh will be with me and looking for stuff to do while I'm in class. He's into railroading, not into brewery tours. I've heard there's a casino not too far away from the Hyatt. Any recommendations about restaurants (I love the Thai one across from the hotel) or stuff to do would be welcome. I'm going to try to squeeze in a day trip to Chicago, which I didn't have time to do last time. I must admit I let the tornado warnings - our town had just had one, a rare thing in NJ, scare me away from doing a lot of traveling last time I was there. Patti |

Patti,
Go to Chicago and see the art, you will be glad you did so if you spend half the day in the Art Institute to see 'La Grande Jatte' if nothing else, and the other half in the Field Museum. They have a stunning gemstone/mineral collection there. http://www.artic.edu/aic/ http://www.fieldmuseum.org/ (King Tut's there from May 26, book early if you want to see it!) Get 'Ferris Buehler's Day Off' as research material for Chicago. Danke schoen, darling...! -Su |

Bead & Button show - who's going???
Carla,
That would be fabulous!! We will be there on Friday, June 16th. I need to go to the A.I. and maybe have some of Chicago's famous steak for dinner! I have classes on Saturday and Sunday, and the show opens on Thursday, so Friday is the only day I will have free. Are you working or could we meet after work? Of course, I have no idea where anything is....I'll just have to take cabs. All this is tentative, of course, but I'm really going to try to go. Patti (Beadseeker AT aol.com) |

Barbara,
I'll be there Thursday night for the show preview, Friday I'm going to try to go to Chicago, I have classes Saturday PM and Sunday A.M. until Noon. Maybe we can coordinate our schedules to meet sometime when we're not in class. Sorry your Saturday class was cancelled, what were you going to take? I'm really getting excited, I desparately need a vacation. Patti (Beadseeker AT aol.com) |
