The show is rocking, people are finding new goodies to take back to their stores and design with.
We have had little time to roam around the show, but while on trips to the rest room we were able to see some of the other vendor's booths and general activity at the show. Everyone seemed happy and busy; lots of new product on display and lots of excitement in the air. Gem Mall is the place to come shopping!
Everyday we see more customers rolling in and stopping by to say "Hi" and either begin shopping at our booth or saying they will be back later. Bead stashes begin to pile up under the back table.
By 4pm exhaustion begins to set in; by both us and our customers. Selling and buying beads is hard work. But think of all the great things you get to bring back to your customers....... it is endless.

Then sunday we had a lovely dinner with many of our friends in the Bead Collectors group. They come from all over the world and meet in Tucson to share ideas, beads, and history of both ancient and new beads. We all love beads!!
On Wednesday February 5th, J-Me was roaming the Gem Mall and stumbled on a Booth run by an Afghani antique bead collector who had a small booth he was sharing with someone. She picked out 2 strands of 3,000 year old beads.
Then she told me to go look. BIG mistake! I picked out some absolutely fabulous silver Turkeman tribal beads and buttons that I just had to have. I'm not a bead collector. I'm not. Damn it!
