I know we have been talking about Beadfest a lot but let me assure you it is totally worth it! Not only are you surrounded by beads of all shapes, sizes, and mediums, it is also pretty much a love and fun fest! Meeting friends from FB or Blogging for the first time, Seeing friends from the previous year, all the amazing designers you have admired, basically it is paradise! I can not tell you what it feels like when you are there because both times I have gone I have been in a complete and total bead haze. Which I thought would not happen this year but yeah it is totally unavoidable!
I have to tell you I was in such a haze that I did not take any pictures. I feel very bad about that because these amazing women were there and I am so proud to be a part of the team!
I do however have some eye candy for you!!!!

So many beautiful pieces all in one place. I can imagine it would be completely overwhelming, thus inducing a bead haze. You found some treasures for sure. I hope to join you next year. I love the group photo!
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm a little jealous over all the BeadFest stash posts I'm seeing, I don't really and truly mind. I like seeing how different each of the bead picks are for each person, giving me a glimpse into their beading personality. Your selections are great!
