Home from B&B

Shopping at Gary Wilson's Booth. Photo by Rashan Jones. 

I've returned from Bead & Button and I'm totally wiped out. I thought I was experiencing a nasty bout of allergies while I was at the show but after reading facebook, I've come to realize that many people picked up a bug with the same symptoms I've been experiencing. It feels good to relax.

Although, not for long. Tomorrow I'm doing a show with my finished work at the Mindpower Gallery in Reedsport. The show is from noon until 8 p.m. and will feature many talented local artists including some of my beady friends such as Nicole Campanella and Charmaine Pesnell. The address is:  417 Fir Avenue, Reedsport, OR, 97467 and the phone number is: 1-541-271-2485. Stop by if you are in the neighborhood. There will be wine, appetizers and of course, some fabulous art.

Stay tuned for more tales of my adventures at the Bead & Button Show. Plus, photos of my new stash...

Just a girl...

Bead & Button Bound

I think I'm just about ready to leave for Milwaukee. I've got a few things to do and then I'm off! I'm looking forward to it. If you're at the show, stop by Meet the Teachers on Wed. and say "hi". Or... come visit me at Gary Wilson's booth (#'s 543,644,646) which is where I'll be working Thurs. and Fri. I will be working for stones!
P.S. There's still some spots left in my Bottle Cap Pendant Class on Sunday. Care to join us?

Look What Arrived in the Mail

I ordered this beautious Saguaro Cactus Flower ring from Kate McKinnon and it came in the mail on Tues. I'm in love! Here's a photo that I swiped from her blog.

This baby was made at the Seed Bead Summit gathering at her house a short while back. The ring will be featured in a book by Kate and Dustin Wedekind. Follow their adventures on their Beadmobile Blog. And... you can even pre-order your copy of the book here.
