Next W E E K on V A L E N T I N E S D A Y I'm excited to share with you all how I met my wonderful husband Marquez. It's quite the story!
On to other B U S I N E S S ! This past Saturday I was able to go to the Tucson Bead Show for the
F I R S T time. Mind you this was my first time going to anything like this and I went with a small budget and just the thought that I would be able to get a feel for what these types of things were like. Had no idea how
E N O R M O U S this show was! I got there and just N E V E R wanted to leave! Unfortunately I had my two little ones under 4 and my husband in tow so that obviously wasn't a possibility! There were S O many vendors! I probably only saw about 1% of what was there. Overall it was a F A N T A S T I C experience though. I was able to meet a lot of really wonderful vendors with some truly unique vintage pieces! Here's a
F E W of my finds...
Above: Venetian wire embedded glass from the 1920's I was told these are particularly rare and they are just so beautiful! I bought these along with some yellow, white and dark blue ones from Japan 1940's. I'm just loving them though they need a bit of cleaning! Any of my wise readers have any ideas for that?
These are so beautiful! I have plans to make them into egg pendants that will be just beautiful for Easter and Mothers Day!
So Fab glass cabs from the 1920's and 40's. I was told that the smaller ones were generally used for mens cuff-links. I think they're just so charming! Not quite sure how I'll use them yet as the sizes and shapes are really unique and its difficult to find bezels that would work with them. Any ideas?
beautiful work.. lovely beads.. all the best to you!
