This past weekend, I met my beady friend
Linda Landig at the
Puget Sound Bead Festival in Tacoma Washington.
I wasn't feeling my best that day but we had a great time just the same!!!
I neglected to take many pictures while I was there but I have lots of beautiful beads to show for it.
It's a good sized show with lots of wonderful booths to shop at.
I picked up some beautiful and unusual goodies.
I spotted these wonderful Carved Coral beads early on from
They were my splurge, we swung around to them after we finished and I picked up a strand,
Linda liked them too so we split them.
Love these rustic beads from Wynwoods Gallery
I got these from Wynwoods too!
They have a store in Port Townsend too, I hope to make it there one day!
Beautiful Glass Beads from Unicorne Beads
love all the beautiful drops!
You know I love discs, I couldn't resist these beauties from
More from Sonoran Beads, look at those Starfish!!
And those 2 in front are actually bead caps!!!
Wish I had more pictures of the actual event but that's the way it goes.
I'm planning to try to be a vendor next year!
I also brought one of my big trays with some of my copper inventory to tempt Linda even more,
when we got back to the parking lot I popped the car hatch
and we had fun going through it all and talking about it all!
We don't get to do that in person very often!
I had a great time with Linda as always
and spending the day looking at beautiful beads is always a good thing!
I'm also having a giveaway at my blog
Easy to enter, just comment and share!!!
I'm drawing a name at the end of TODAY (July 18)

WOW I am glad you still went even though you weren't feeling that well. What awesome goodies you picked up!
ReplyDeleteKristi, it's so nice to see you and Linda together in that photo! : ) And, wow, what beads you found! Just stunning! I'm glad you two had a great time. Next year, I will do all I can to get there too.
ReplyDeleteIt would be soooo awesome if you could join us, Meridy!
DeleteKristi, it's so nice to see you and Linda together in the photo--such lovely ladies you both are. : ) And what beads you found--they're stunning! I so wish I could have been there too, but I will do all I can to get there next year.
ReplyDeleteI hate to shop (for anything) when I am not feeling well - hope you are better today! What a nice photo of you and Linda! I lived in Poulsbo, WA for three years in the late 1980's...still my favorite place in the WHOLE world! While I love all of that beady goodness that you are sharing here today, I would have LOVED to have shopped from your trunk! Gorgeous copper!!!!
ReplyDeleteLook at all the goodies you got! Also, your new sticker is awesome :-)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I wish that I had gone this year. I just decided to forgo it as I wasn't interested in any of the classes.
