Back from the bead show

20 years ago

It was PACKED. I mean PACKED! I want to go back today, but I don't think I'll make it. I got a lot of Turquoise, one thing I was after. I got nuggets, heishi, some pretty carved flowers, etc. I got some coral also, some Bali Silver, a couple of charms and some GORGEOUS lamp work beads made by 2 sisters in Pa. I'll post pics. I spent way too much money. I could have spent thousands, I was like a kid in a candy store. Almost went into bead overload & passed out, LOL. I wanted chain and Lindstrom pliers, but no one was selling them. Have to get them online, wanted to see it in person, Oh well!

It was great fun.

OOOOOOOOHHHhhhhhhhh.. I don't dare go to that show ! I would want everything I See. ( And I haven't even beaded anything yet !) My friend that owns the glass store went and she showed me all the stuff she bought ...OMG ....it was like Christmas. Nope - I'm staying away from that place ..... Divorce papers would be signed and filed as soon as I walked in the door back home. LOL

Glad you had a good time, sorry you did't find your tools.
