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.
