Greetings!
I've been on the road for the past six weeks, looking for great new products. And boy, have I found them!
I just returned from the gem and jewelry shows in Tucson, Arizona and have to say that these were the most incredible group of shows I have ever been to. Jewelry takes over Tucson with about 40 different shows spread across the city. There are small, intimate shows in hotel rooms and huge, wholesale only shows in the convention center.
I made it to eleven different shows the week I was in Tucson. I found new tools, supplies, beads and findings to share with you. The shipments from Tucson will start arriving next week...it's like Christmas all over again!
In January I attended the Craft and Hobby Association Mega Show in Anaheim, California. The newest products in the craft world are unveiled at this show and I found lots of great stuff to share with you.
I also was able to get Rupert Boneham from the TV show "Survivor" to make a tie-dyed T-shirt for me. He was demonstrating "one-step" tie dye at the Tulip booth...brilliant marketing on their part. Now I just need some warm weather to wear it!
Keep creating,
Charlene Anderson
