Last weekend I had a little “just for me” time and spent the day at a bead show. \u00a0Yup, you read that right, a bead show.<\/a><\/p>\n

Imagine a hall, filled with close to 100 tables… all about beads, bead making and jewelry making.<\/p>\n

So. Much. Fun.<\/p>\n

(Click on any of the photos for a larger view.)<\/p>\n

\"2012-10-20-bead-show\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the tables were like these, piled high with strands. You had no choice but to run your fingers through all their smooth, shiny yumminess.<\/p>\n

\"bead-show-beads-004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some focused on individual lampworked beauties, like this one that came home with me. Can you say creamy vanilla goodness?<\/p>\n

\"blue-sea-glass-bracelet-still\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wasted no time making these sea glass beads<\/a> into a quick stretch bracelet. \u00a0(Video tutorial coming soon!)<\/p>\n

\"2012-10-20-bead-show-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a table of dichroic beads, arranged like a rainbow. \u00a0Sooooo pretty. \u00a0I wish you all could have been with me; they were so much more sparkly and lovely in real life.<\/p>\n

\"bead-show-beads-001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were tables of polymer clay bead artists. \u00a0(This is the work of Seana Bettencourt. \u00a0Her web site is here<\/a>, and her Etsy shop here<\/a>. \u00a0Sadly, both are rather empty at the moment, but I hope she’ll post some things soon so you can see more of her wonderful creations.)<\/p>\n

These little flowers came home with me. \u00a0I haven’t a clue what I’m going to make with them, but some day just the right project will come up. \u00a0In the meantime they just sit on my desk and make me happy to look at them.<\/p>\n

\"2012-10-20-bead-show-7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More strands of beads. \u00a0See those little white baskets in the middle right? \u00a0They give those out to shoppers so we can pile in whatever catches our eyes as we browse.<\/p>\n

So imagine from across the room a huge CRASH — then – rattle, rattle, rattle…<\/p>\n

There was a gasp – a beat – and then a collective, “Awwwww…….”<\/p>\n

Everybody<\/em> there empathized. \u00a0lol<\/p>\n

\"2012-10-20-bead-show-6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Individual lampwork beads. \u00a0Loved her display with the little lights underneath.<\/p>\n

\"2012-10-20-bead-show-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m still kicking myself for not going back to this table. I wanted to get one of her little vases with air plants. \u00a0(Upper right)<\/p>\n

\"2012-10-20-bead-show-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also planned to get one of her glass parrots, but then talked myself out of it later. \u00a0Silly me. \u00a0\ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

\"Tropical<\/a><\/p>\n

The good news is, they’re both in her Etsy shop here<\/a>. I’ll just have to pay shipping now. \u00a0Ah well, lesson learned. \u00a0(And the lesson is, don’t leave the bead show until you’ve spent ALL your money!)<\/p>\n

\"2012-10-20-bead-show-5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tables full of all kinds of wonderful chain, of which I bought a fair amount. \u00a0They will certainly show up in future jewelry videos.<\/p>\n

\"2012-10-20-bead-show-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More luscious yummies.<\/p>\n

So, who’s going to come with me next year? \u00a0We can mutually talk each other\u00a0back<\/em> into the purchases we want. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
