Bead Bazaar - Maryland

Apr 26, 2004 12 Replies

The Bead Society of Greater Washington's 39th Semi-Annual Bead Bazaar was held this past weekend at the Ramada Inn in New Carrollton, MD. I thought it was a good show. It was well attended. The vendors had an excellent selection of beads and findings. I escaped with ONLY $122.75 in damages.



I picked up:



1 strand of 10mm Rd Chinese Writing Stone beads. Never heard of these before. Nice color.
1 strand of 10 mm Rd Russian Serpentine beads.
1 strand 10 mm Rd Tigers Eye beads.
1 strand 4mm barrels and rondelles Tigers Eye beads.
2 strands 6mm rondelle Brown Goldstone beads. I love Brown Goldstone.
2 strands 6mm barrels and rondelles Brown Goldstone beads.
1 100 ft. spool Soft Touch .024 Dia. 49 wires. I've never used this before. Been using Beadalon Professional Series .018 Dia 49 strands.

Blast, crap and phooey! I forgot all about it. I was supposed to go to Delaware to console the grand-daughter about her surgery (tonsils and adnoids) and when her surgery was cancelled, I forgot about the bead show. I could have met you there!

Oh well, maybe in the fall.

I found it.......The Fall show is November 8th and 9th 2004 at the Ramada Inn - New Carrollton, MD (Exit 20B off Rt 95/495). If you live near enough to make a "Bead Road Trip".......do it!

Are you sure? That's a Mon and Tues! I live about an hour away from New Carrollton. Cheri (Bubbee to Emily and Nathan)

Roxan, I went to Beadfest in Ft. Washington. Got lost going and got lost leaving, but I'd still go again. :) Maybe Next time I can get someone to go along as navigator. 8-) Cheri (Bubbee to Emily and Nathan)

Cheri -

Where are you coming from? Maybe one of us can meet you somewhere along the way or even carpool.

I think the person who sent me the Fall schedule was looking at the 2003 schedule and I took them at their word and did not look at a 2004 calendar......I'm just a man and I don't need directions... :-D

I'm in Frederick. I normally come down 270 to 495 to get to New Carrollton. If I'm going to Beadfest I go out 70 east to Balt, then take 695 west to 95 north. Is that on the way to anyone? Cheri (Bubbee to Emily and Nathan)

ROFL! Cheri (Bubbee to Emily and Nathan)
