Went Shopping for inspiration.... The Whole Bead Show!!!! 1 of the few NY Bead Shows

I totally pride myself on being resourceful, yet there are so many things that I of course don't know (duh)!   Many of my knowings come from dear friends, like the fact that NY indeed has a bead show.  For years I looked in trade magazines for a bead show that came to New York, and I got nothing.  I was even told that because NY houses the greatest concentration of bead stores and jewelry suppliers, that I was out of luck.          And then like nothing, my friend   Taeisha Black invited me to the Whole Bead Show .

Today was the second time I attended, and like the last time I scrambled to the show after work.  Allowing a mere 30 min of shopping time (bummer).         But being that I am an expert at purchasing, the time restraint was no match for me!!!  


SOME OF MY HANDSOME FINDS 

    And the finds put to us.....

I have to say that I enjoyed myself, and am thankful for any inspiration!   Thanks for listening...until next time.
