Adventures with Beads

May 27, 2007

We’re on the road this week…traveling literally across the country to visit friends and just take a nice quiet holiday.

While I travel, I like to look for new bead shops (and write up a quick review to help point you at great retail bead stores!) and pick up something to make for myself as a souvenier of my trip. Last year while in Manitoba, I got some pretty glass beads in an apricot color, and spent an afternoon sitting by the lake doing a wire coiled bracelet using the beads. Now whenever I wear that bracelet, I think about my trip! Much less expensive than a tacky t-shirt, and more fun too.
