• The Bead Market is the best. I have gone to them for the last 8 years and enjoy them tremendously. You get such excellent deals on all types of beads and supplies it is fantastic. If you have never gone you NEED to go to the next one!!

• Ft Worth Bead Show

  I want to take a moment of your time to tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciated the jewelry design and color class you gave at the Ft Worth Bead Show last Saturday. As a relative novice with no formal training, I have wondered why my designs were sometimes disappointing. Classes at the local bead stores haven’t really met my needs. Frankly, I was a bit embarrassed to admit how little I knew. But your presentation was so helpful to me. The atmosphere was relaxed. The information was clear and easy to understand. Allowing us to see and handle finished examples of design and color principles reinforced everything you said. I finally feel that I have enough knowledge to help me enjoy beading more and create pieces I can be proud of. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me and the others who attended. I hope you’ll have other classes in the future and that I can join in. Again, thanks so much.

• Stafford Show

  Thank you for notifying me about the Stafford show. It was the best one I’ve gone to including the big show at Reliant. The beads were glorious and the prices were unbelievable.

• San Antonio

  I went to the bead show in San Antonio recently and went absolutely crazy!!! I kept calling my husband on the cell phone to put more money in my debit account!! If that wasn’t bad enough, I came back on Sunday for day 2.

• Houston Bead Market

  I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the Houston Bead Market. Have you considered making it a 3-day show? I would have loved to take more jewelry making classes and have more time to shop. Jelcy is a wonderful instructor with easy to follow instructions for beginner to advanced! Jelcy was by far the best instructor for a bead project that I’ve ever experienced. Her instructions were easy to follow and she managed to keep the class together even though there was a mix of beginner to advanced students. I wish she was in Houston more than just once a year! What a great find at The Houston Bead Market!

• Stafford, Texas Bead Market Show

  In my humble opinion, the Bead Market Show held in Stafford, Texas on June 2 - 3, 2007 was absolutely perfect! I cannot rave enough! Not only were there plenty of strands, findings, and beautifully custom finished products to choose from (not manufactured), there were booths with incredible wire-work and lampwork expertise. Everyone I spoke with was polite and in good spirits. The show was neither too big, nor too small. With the benefit of carpet to walk on, low noise levels, and just enough to keep one entertained, this show was just right. Free parking and free admission were a wonderful draw. I look forward with anticipation to the next show, and will continue to coax for an additional show down in Pasadena!
