On Friday Kina and I went to the Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is probably one of the largest bead show is the US, other than the ones in Tuscon, Arizona. I took my camera to the show, but was too wrapped up in the atmosphere to remember to take photos on the day. It was lovely to see Lisa Peters and her Mum, Donna again, and to meet Facebook friend Carol Dean Sharpe for the first time – I hope you had a great show Carol!
This is what was added to Merlin’s hoard at the show:

It is always so wonderful to see you — Mom and I were so happy you spent so much time with us and are really looking forward to sharing with you the next chapter in your life. (even if it has to be via facebook) You have a wonderful stash to keep you going for a while and I wish you the best with your beautiful bead projects. Fingers are crossed that I can get out to Chicago when Mom is visiting with her friend in Indiana and see you again soon.

Thanks, Lisa!
It was a really enjoyable day on Friday, sending time with you and your Mum and meeting some of our mutual Facebook friends like Linda and Carol.I look forward to you coming up to Chicago, though I don’t know how tidy the apartment will be! Let me know when you know what your plans are.
I have already had a few ideas for some of the cabs I bought from you, and I have stuck a few down onto some ultrasuede, ready for beading around.
