Back on April 9th, I took a trip out to PA for the final Bead Fest Spring (don't worry, the August show isn't going anywhere).

Snow...in April |
When we crossed the NJ border into PA, it started snowing. As we got closer and closer to the show the weather got worse. Mother Nature was not kind.

Scenes from the show |
In my short 2.5 hours at the show, I was fortunate enough to see some friends including
Jenny Davies-Reazor,
Staci Louise Smith,
Leslie Rogalski/Sleepless Beader,
Greg Ogden/Green Girl Studios, Claudia Warszawski, Linda Escobar Panagopolus and many more!

MyElements by Yvonne |
It was also great to see Yvonne Irvin-Faus/
MyElements back vending the show! She brought a TON of her
YUMMEEz with her! I couldn't resist them!

The Haul |
As you can see, I wasn't lying when I said I couldn't resist them! I also came home with goodies from Jenny and some Green Girl pieces.

Ezel Findings Beading Pal |
This was the big purchase though. I FINALLY got an
Ezel Findings Beading Pal. My friend Meg at
Bead My Love was at the show and she had a nice selection of them for sale. I decided to go with hot pink. I love this thing! It makes traveling with your bead project so easy and convenient! I'll be taking this on the bead cruise for my bead embroidery/weaving class.
So this may have been one of the quickest trips to BF Spring ever, thanks to the oddly-timed spring snowstorm. I'm just glad I got to spend a couple hours with my bead friends. Looking forward to spending a weekend with them at Bead Fest August!
Diana thanks so much for sharing your goodies from Bead Fest. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it this year. Hopefully I'll get there this summer. I love all of your new goodies and can't wait to see what you make with them.
