I've been at the Big Bead Show today, sponsored by
Bead Magazine at
Sandown Park Race Course. It's about an hour's drive around the M25 from me, and although I got stuck in traffic, it's worth every mile! I have to make sure I take only cash, and once it's spent, that's my lot - I'm out of there!
I buy a lot of the beads and findings that I use online, but there's nothing like getting your hands on the beads, and seeing the colours and designs for real. I thought I'd share some of the beauties I bought today with you. Can't wait to get started making beautiful jewellery with them!
Lovely beads, you are so lucky that the show was nearby. It's so nice to get to buy beads from different places and even better if you get to see what you are buying 'for real' rather than on a site.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous beads. I went to the big bead show last year, and I'm going to the one in October this year - love it! x
ReplyDeleteI'm going to the October one as well (already have my ticket!) I hope I get some sales soon, or I'll have noting to spend! ;o)

ReplyDeleteI'm really envious, would love to go to an event like that - it is much better being able to see and feel what you are buying.
ReplyDeleteYour beads look lovely! I keep meaning to go the Big Bead show, maybe in October :D
