Always a great time, although I notice that the bead shows have been downsized quite a bit in recent months due to the current economic climate - still, it's definitely a worthwhile venture for any gem or beadaholic like me!

I had lots of fun and spent lots of money! This is really a wonderful idea to introduce people to beading and purchasing craft items that can be used for other crafts. Picked up lots of gifts too. The Gem show is coming up and I can't wait for that event too.

This show was mainly for people who make and sell jewelry. There were hardly any single beads or stones to buy. You had to buy an entire string. The prices for many of the fittings seemed high to me, but I could be wrong.

Fun way to spend a few hours. Lots of stuff, great for mass buyers (not so much someone like me who just wanted to either buy or make a pair or earrings) Some had beautiful stones, some was not as nice. The usual. But definitely something for everyone. The blue topaz was beautiful...I have loved the stone since around birth, so I kept gravitating towards it but it is very expensive so I help off. Made two cute pairs of earrings while there, so thanks to the two vendors who let me borrow their pliers!
