San Francisco Bead and Design Show

Can't believe it's been this long since I blogged! An interesting year to say the least.

Wally and I leave tomorrow noon to fly Virgin America to San Francisco (now our favorite airline although routes are limited - fortunately to where we need to go). I'll be participating in the first San Francisco Bead and Design Show. It's Friday through Sunday at the Whitcomb Hotel at 1321 Market, right at the Civic Center Bart Station downtown San Francisco. See sanfranciscobeadanddesignshow.com for details.

The hotel looks amazing. It withstood the early 1900's SF earthquake and was the city hall for a while. Wish we were staying there but it work better for us to stay in Millbrae near the Bart station there. I take the Bart into town and Wally goes to see his daughter and family in San Mateo. Besides it has free parking and breakfast.

More about the show: The sponsor is Garan-Beadagio. Anna and her daughters sponsor To Bead True Blue and the Tucson Bead Show in Tucson. We've participated in that for about four years. She also does twice yearly shows in Pasadena. Haven't gotten to do that one yet. May next summer. Her shows feature small dealers with unique items - not your big impersonal show.
