Another Trip to Sonoma...BEADS


I'm planning on going to Sonoma. I know what your thinking...It's all about the WINE. But nope, for me it's all about the BEADS! I am going to attend a Bead Festival of sorts and learn more about how to bead my own jewelry.

A few years ago my grandma gave me her costume jewelry. I find the earrings to be way out of style, yet the necklaces and bracelets look great. Sooo I am planning to remake the earrings into a style I will wear. At these shows you can find Beads, gemstones, findings, collectible glass art & jewelry. http://www.sonomavalley.com/
