There are many dealers of fabulous, desirable beads at this show, including Danny Lopacki, the Ethnographic Group (including Ancient Beads and Artifacts, Tasart,, David Ebbinghouse, Bernie Lawitz, Indra, Miranda Crimp, Mickey Cane, Bill Boss) Tiger Tiger and others. It is still a small show, but growing a bit each year and if some of the very best are in a nice relaxing venue, who can possibly not enjoy being there?!

I've been more curious about the lovely 1930s Boshan (Chinese) millefiori beads in recent years. I was really rather dazzled to see these beads from the Summerfield collection displayed by Jamey Allen in the ballroom with the Ethnographic Group. What a splash of color! I will knot them simply on black cord. Approx. 12mm x 12mm.
