Alaska Bead Society Show

This past weekend was the annual show of beads and beaded wonders from the Alaska Bead Society. The show was held once again at the Anchorage Museum of History and Art. The turnout was excellent on both Saturday and Sunday. Our community offers such great support for our organization -- it's amazing. It was nice to see so many return customers and meet plenty of new ones.

Being surrounded by 45 of one's best competitors/friends can be a challenge, but somehow we all manage to sell some jewelry. It always amazes me to see the wide variety of styles our group has to offer.

etsyBEAD Theme of the Week, Harvest Time

The etsyBEAD Street Team is at it again with a new Theme of the Week. Harvest Time is the current theme.

I have put a couple of items on sale. The first is a woven bracelet in the colors of the harvest. Think squash, pumpkins and turning leaves.My second item is a simple pair of earrings. There's a stack of Swarovski crystals in fall colors and of graduated sizes. They hang from sterling silver earwires.
