[MR] Bead Trade Shows in the Kingdom

[Signora Sveva Lucciola]

For those of you who want lots of pretty beads there will be a number
of bead trade shows this fall. I have been to the Intergalactic ones
and they are a mix of glass, gem, metal, plastic...you name it. Lots of
appropriate as well as more modern styles. They typically are Saturday
and Sunday, with a slightly higher admission fee on Saturday, as you
can come back the next day as well. If you are interested in going to
any of these, check out their web pages and support the local vendors,
or visit their webpages, as many of them will have $2 or $1 off
admission coupons ready for printing. Such as

If you are a lampworker, Jackie Knabel often sells beadmaking supplies
at her booth. You can make sure she has what you want and get lower
prices by contacting her at jackie at glassbeads.net or visit her webpage
www.glassbeads.net(also has coupon)

=====
"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. 
If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. 
But I arise in the morning torn between the desire to improve the world, 
and a desire to enjoy the world. 
This makes it hard to plan the day."
