Milwaukee in June...

nothing sounds sweeter, right?

Exactly! It's the Bead and Button Show and I'm busy packing my tools, sorting through beads, printing out the show floor map so I can be more organized than my mother this year, and of course, trying to decide which jewelry to bring!

It's funny. I think 80% of the ladies who attend the B&B Show pack their clothes around which pieces of jewelry they are going to wear, rather than the other way around. I know I do. It's the one time you get to really show off what you've been working on all year and know that someone is going to comment on your pieces at some point.

You'll hear, 'Is that an Anne Choi? Did you get that from Wendy Wichner? How long did it take you to make that? Was that a great class or what?' People from all over the world will join in, and say, 'beautiful piece of jewelry you're wearing'. Whether you're into wire, metal, or seed beads. Looming or weaving. There is truly something for everyone and I think at least for myself, there is a true appreciation for the art and style you see on each and every person's neck, wrist, finger, or ear.

Ain't that sweet...

See you at the show!
