I am trying not to think about the fact that today was the last day of the Best Bead Show. I hate the thought that it might be a year before I see most of my fellow artisans again.
Tucson is a magical place to me. It is a place that pulses with creative energy and draws together some of the finest people on the planet, the makers of things of beauty.
Magical indeed... I can't wait to go back. Best Bead was my favorite; my friends (Two Cranes, a husband-wife lapidary team) introduced me to so many wonderful people, and I totally broke the bank on lampwork glass beads. I hope you continue to have such a wonderful time.
