Denver Bead Show!

I ventured out to my first bead show today.  It was a bit overwhelming at first, there were millions of beads and so many of the booths had similar items.  I spent the first hour walking around trying to get a feel for how things worked, then I looked for things that were different from what I can get at my usual craft and hobby stores.

If I had unlimited funds, I could have brought home bags and bags full of fabulous beads and pendants.  I did the best with what I had to spend, and this is what I brought home:

16 strands of colorful "pearl" beads in different sizes, a strand of crystal rondelles, 8 copper and silver dipped autumn leaves, 2 strands of silver plated chain, and 6 silver plated beads.

The leaves are just gorgeous, I can't wait to design pieces around them!
