The Welsh Bead Fair was held today st the Village Hotel in Cardiff and I was lucky enough to meet up with an online beading buddy, the lovely CraftyCarol. The event is quite small but enough to do some damage at, I purposefully left the plastic at home. The only thing I was disappointed at was the lack of chains and sterling silver findings but I did keep some of my budget back so I can stock up online this week.I left my camera at home so could not take photo's at the fair but I thought you might like to see the goodies I brought home.
First up are these lovely ceramic beads from Moon Beads,
I bought some beautiful and funky focal beads from The Beads Nest,
The stall I did most damage to my Budget at was Anita's Beads, I got some fabulous glass pearls,
Some lovely glass including some honkingly big black rondelles,
More glass beads and some fantastic pendants,
These beautiful lampwork beads are from Debbie Dew,
I tried to contain the seed bead buying but could not resist these three tubes,
And last but not least are two Stringing magazines and a fabulous book by Laura McCabe.
That lot should keep busy for a while!
Happy Sunday everyone!
