The Lima Beads Party...

Even though I was completely and totally exhausted from working the long day at the Best Bead Show, we headed out to the foothills for the Lima Beads Party. What fabulous and gracious hosts. They had an amazing spread in a swank house with sprawling views of Tucson.

I was fortunate enough to meet the new editor of Beadwork magazine, Mindy Brooks. What a sweet and thoughtful person. I look forward to seeing what she does with the magazine.

It was a great night! They are simply wonderful people and I had a wonderful time spending time with them in person. I wish I had taken more pictures of the night, especially of the great view and all of the lovely people!
