OTHER TRAVELING BEADERS

BEADVENTURE IRELAND 2000


My good friend and fellow beadaholic Valerie Hixson and I wait on an ancient stoop in Orta, Italy. Surely a traveling beadsalesman will come by soon!


A rug merchant came by but no bead saleman. Sigh! Nothing can console us but shopping for FOOD! Hey, we can string the olives and use the jars to store beads!


Beading in a garden in New Zealand!

 


Moscow had no bead shops that I could find but I did see some Baltic Amber beads in a shop. The shop was closed and I considered breaking the window! I finally found a strand in another location. Whew!

Here is the reason for the trip to Russia! To help my friend bring home her new daughter! She chose beads for the first toy! Smart girl! See more of her here.

On a BeadAdventure trip to Ireland the other beaders went to the top of Grace O'Malley's castle. I decided to sit on a "comfy" rock bench and bead!

 
I found a wonderful dog in Switzerland and decided to bead his brandy cask. OK, I'll confess, he is made of plastic.


The kangaroos in Australia tried to get my beads but I fought them off!


The Koalas were much better behaved, and they are sooooo soft!
