A to Z April Challenge- E is for Exhibition

E is for Exhibition. I am going to change things a little today. This post is not a short story but a review of a bead exhibition.

The Bead Show is being held this weekend in Sydney. We don't have big shows like you can get overseas. Many years ago we had a really good one that was run at Olympic Park in Sydney but they have closed down.

Since then most of what we have had has been in included in other shows, such as Stitches and Craft Show held at several locations. But I have to say that I was really disappointed with the last one. Not many beading suppliers and very little seed beads.

By chance I stumbled across the Bead Show website and I made an effort yesterday to go and have a look. And I was so glad that I did. While it is not a very big venue they had 19 exhibitors and it was a pretty even match of lampwork artists to bead suppliers.

And seed beads! Rows and rows of glorious seed beads. I honestly do not think that I have seen so many in one place before. So I had a lovely time and we won't talk about how much I spent. They are on again in September and this will definitely be going on my can't miss list.

One day I will go to Tuscan to the big bead exhibitions held there.
