There was a bead show in Baltimore today. I drove down early, met Liz at her place and off we went! These bead shows are SO exciting!! It was jam-packed with people - jewelers of all nature, jewelry buyers, and jewelry lovers. I controlled myself very well and only bought the beads in the photo above. It took incredible self-restraint!!

After we left the show, we had a nice, quiet lunch, studied all our bead purchases, then headed back to Liz's for a little studio work. I have so much to learn and Liz has so much to teach!!

I should have taken a photo of Liz's bench. It's perfectly clean. Neat. Organized. Totally unlike mine. Go figure.

Happy 4th everyone!!
