Hi, nice to find all you bead folks! I belong to some yahoo groups and Wet Canvas, so I recognize some of you already. I sell some of my beads on ebay under qotbeads, short for Queen of Tides.
I saw an old post(from 2002) about someone looking for Michigan Bead shows. I thought I would mention the 2004 Fire & Ice Beadmaker Show and Sale in case anyone wants to make early plans and reservations. The show will be held on Saturday, April 17, from 9-5pm. The first show, last spring was beyond anything we could have imagined. Wall to wall people! All but one vendor asked to come back, so we have invited them and more due to a larger venue and the success of last year's show. It will be held at the Park Place Hotel in Traverse City, Michigan, on beautiful Lake Michigan. Visit
Looking forward to reading through a lot of the old posts and meeting new lampworkers!
