Bead Fest report
OK, I'm back from Bead Fest. It was an awesome show. I bought:
a double drilled strand of Sodalite ($7.00), large carved carnelian rounds, frosted with dragons carved on them ($8), black glass carved with swirls (12), rectangular glass, looks like Limon quartz (5), red jade faceted rectangles (8), 2 strands of top drilled peach FWP drops (5), mixed colors of Tourmaline in large buttons (21), beautiful, large graduated Ruby quartz (22), a pair of dichroic earrings (13), a dichroic plaque bracelet, which was a steal at 20, two strands of that lead free pewter which looks like Bali (8), some real Bali spacers and 3 clasps. Show was busy, but on two floors, so it wasn't hard to get around. They also had the air conditioning cranked up (it was 87 outside), so it was cool in there, I think that is the only time I've ever gone to a Bead show where I didn't think I was going through menopause again. I was exhausted when I came home and just took a 5 hour nap.I never take naps. Patti |

Soooo jealous! Sounds like you got a lot of pretty stuff. We're trying
to buy a house, so no bead shows for me for awhile. *sniff* -- Kandice Seeber www.lampwork.net "Patti" wrote in message ps.com... OK, I'm back from Bead Fest. It was an awesome show.

Shirley's comment made me think of something. I wish we could all go
to the same bead show, one that is within driving distance and centrally located. Of course, since we are all spread out all over the world, that isn't possible. But, wouldn't we all have a great time together??? Patti |

Patti, we would have a wonderful time but imagine shopping with a group who
all want different things. Suggest we have a briefing meeting- I am always grateful to Barbara for showing me lamp work row at Bead and Button, then arranging a meet up time. Every one will shop at their own pace. Next, coffee, showing every one what we had, then another shopping spree, trying to find all the choice goodies that others had located!! Dreams are free. Cheers,Jan |
