Tuscon! Oh Yes, I would LOVE to go. But, I can get in enough trouble just
doing the ones that are around here. The bead store in Pittsburgh that is so
wonderful buys a ton of stuff at Tuscon every year. One year, the owner, had
a photo of her laying in the bath tub (fully clothed) in a tub full of gem
stones - she was dripping with them, holding them up, and they surrounded
and covered her! The Best bead store in Pittsburgh is the Crystal Bead
Bazaar, they bring in the top beadworkers for workshops and classes and they
are really wonderful people. That is where I learned, what I have learned. I
cannot wait to walk in there at some point and show off this necklace I am
working on. It will be a couple more months before it is complete, I
imagine, but oh, the look in their eyes when they see it!!! Lynda
