Long Island Bead Festival: Wow! I died and went to bead heaven...

Long Island Bead Festival, 09/27/10



The pictures say it all. I should have known better than to walk in there with less than $50.00. Upon entering the Long Island Bead festival in Islandia, Long Island I felt my heart sink into my chest and my brain quickly started calculating what I could do without for the week (like lunch, gas, coffee and what the heck, Kylee does'nt need lunch either, ok, ok just kidding, sort of)just so I could BUY BEADS! shame on me I know. Anyhow here are some pictures of what they had in the showroom. Beautiful turquoise, onyx, quartz, jasper, labradorite gems! Many local jewelry artists were there bumping into one another as they oogled over hundreds upon hundreds of strands of gems and beads. Times like this I wish.....
