The metal dust has settled, and we’re back into the swing of things again. We had an amazing time at the show. It’s always a whirlwind, but well worth it to meet so many customers and students face-to-face. Here’s our first round of photos.
Meet the Teachers Reception on Wednesday night:
and a closer-up photo of Vanessa’s awesome scalemaille jacket:

My table was back-to-back with Sherry Serafini, an amazing beadwork artist.  It was great to meet her in person.  One of the first things I told her was how much I loved the Aerosmith belt she’d made.  (Confession: I am an Aerosmith junkie.  So much so, that I even have 5 Aerosmith tattoos!)  As soon as I’d said that, she grinned, turned around, and grabbed this purse off her table.  *swoon*

Stay tuned for more photos of happy customers in our booth, Bead Dreams and the B3 crew goofing off.









 Today is typically a slower day than other shopping days, but still nice and steady.  We sold out of more instructions, so for those interested in Bold & Brilliant Byzantine, and our updated Dragonscale instructions, they’ll be available online soon.  (Give us a couple of weeks to unpack and recover from the show)  In the meantime, though, if there’s something you’re having trouble finding from your show wishlist, send an email to
