Where to get em!

Hey Kids!

It is time for the monthly 'schemere' of bead shows across the country!

Making jewelry is a great creative outlet and perfect to have on hand for those gift giving occasions. Who doesn't want to have something handmade, something created just for them by you.

You are tired of shopping in retail chains and frustrated at the limitations of their selections. You just can't seem to 'see' what is for sale at online catalogs, and you know the colors and shapes vary according to supply.

What do you?

Gem and mineral shows are your friend. They are priced better than retail chain. The choices are vast. You will see beads that you will never see in a retail chain. Most will sell to the public and do not require a resellers license.

Here is a list of bead shows that may be in your area.

Happy shopping!
