Saturday, February 6, 2016

If you’ve been keeping up with the posts the past few days you’ll see that Saturday was fairly busy with lots of cool events. It started with a trip out to the Infinite Energy Center in Duluth for the annual Intergalactic Bead Show.

Artists and jewelers who absolutely love beads gathered together to trade ideas and products with a room full of what else than beads.
