Hello Friends!
It is once again that special time of year! The weather is crisp and the nights are brisk with the stars twinkling brightly in the
evening sky. The leaves are turning
stunning colors and all of this means that it is time for the very BEST bead
show in New England, the Bead Affaire, sponsored by
Beadesigner International.
The Bead Affaire has an amazing line up of bead artists and bead
vendors with something for everyone. You will find handmade beads, natural
stone beads, imported beads, beaded objects …. old beads, new beads, big beads,
blue beads…. and me!
This will be my 2nd year back to this wonderful show
that has meant so much to me over the years.

| My Ocean & Moon Series - Collaboration with Chris O'Connor |
I will be sharing a table this year with my good friend Louise Erskine. She has been working
with all forms of glass for many years, starting out her glass adventures with stained
glass and today has mastered flameworking, fusing, pate de verre and decorative
painting on glass (to name a few of her talents). She will have a great selection of work available
for sale. Here are a couple of examples of Louise's work:

| "Louise's Smiles are Frowns turned upside down" |

I have been increasing my hours at the torch, having more fun and
getting more and more back into the swing of things. My goal is to find my ‘Zen’ place again,
where flameworking is the cure for anything that ails me.
I will have beads, pendants, beaded goodies: bookmarks, key chains,
pens, finished necklaces and ribbons and chains to accompany a pendant or bead. I will also have a couple of copies of Paul
Engle’s book ‘Conciatore’ and a few of
Emilio Santini’s little bottles, vessels and earrings.
I am very excited about the prospect of seeing old friends and
meeting new bead enthusiasts! Stop by
and say ‘hello’!
Mark your calendars
