BeadFest - these are the people in my neighborhood

My first Beadfest as an exhibitor has come and gone. It was most definitely worth the days spend firing and glazing in a frenzy! I had a wonderful time - seeing my pieces well received, meeting new friends, catching up with old friends. And I managed to fit in a little shopping and a bit of barter (tomorrow's post). For now - a recap of the booth, and a few of my neighbors. I regret not taking more people pictures...I seem to have focused on the beads. 

My booth

Treasures by post! Its Bead Soup time...

I was so horrified! To realize that because of clumbsy typing on my iPad I had sent my Bead Soup partner the wrong mailing address! After work I knocked on the door of #10. ( I live at #109...) The resident's Mom was dog sitting. And yes - there actualy was a package! ( My heart is racing! I could have hugged her!) So here to my relief - is my bag-o-treasure from the lovely and talented Cassie Donlen!

Denizen of the Deep - Suburban Girl Design Team "Summer" reveal!

Summer! It is here - no questioning that! Temperatures in the 90's here in Delaware have me dreaming of the ocean. Luckily all of DE is relatively close to the beach (as opposed to the shore in NJ) and headed there for a respite soon. The summer charms from Diana arrived ages ago - and a lovely lampwork from Jan as well! I confess, I finished this yesterday.

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

Standing over a cauldron, tossing in snippets of this, portions of that - brewing up a potion, a recipe in a cauldron. You imagine them, sisters three, over a large smoky steaming cauldron, aged, gnarled and bent - Shakespeare's Three Witches. Or perhaps you imagine a younger more contemporary potion maker - young Hermione sitting, small cauldron inher lap, brewing Polyjuice Potion in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. (I DID just get back from vacation to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando...)
