Whole Bead Show-Providence RI 2009

New Finds at The Whole Bead Show in Providence RI. The show was held at the Convention Center in Downtown from Friday Sept 23rd- Sunday Sept 25th. I caught the last two hours of the show on Sunday between my visit with my grandfather who is turning 96 years old on Sat Oct 3rd and heading back to MA to visit my folks and our dear friends in Newton. A full day.

This was my first time at the Whole Bead Show in Providence. I was hoping to get to the larger one in New York this fall, but my schedule won't allow it. I found some great new silver beads, beautiful pearls and some lovely metal leaves to play with. Check out my finds!
