Bead Show at Crown Plaza

Yesterday I went to my first bead show at the Crown Plaza in Cromwell Ct. There where a lot of people there. I noticed that there where a couple of people selling their items by weight. One dealer had ten strands for twenty five dollars which I thought was good I got four strands of rose quartz, two stands of jade, two stands of aventurine, and two stands of green carnelian stone. I also found some hematite for seventy five cents a strand. I saw some Lapis that I would have like but I thought it was expensive. The next time I am going to a show I am going to look at prices on the net before I go.

Bead Show

There is a bead show at the Crown Plaza in Cromwell, Ct on March 28 and 29. This will be the very first bead show that I have been to. I have been reading that I should bring copies of my EIN and my sales tax license. Because some of the people will give you a discount if you are a wholesaler. I am taking a small notebook to have a list of things that need. When I see them I can write down the booth number and go back and get them later. My main purpose is to get business cards, so I can connect with them later if I need to. I am hoping to get some new ideas for making new things. I will update after the show.

Missing Boy, Please Help Find Him

A mommy friend from another mommy site has a missng son. He is 15 years old, and is name is Thomas Shelby. He ran away from his father's house on March 9th and was spotted on March 14th around 11am at the JumpStop station on I-44 (exit 67) in Springfield MO. He was wearing a white zip-up hoodie with dark lining, a dark colored tshirt with writing (illedgible) and blue jeans. He was with a woman approximately late 30's to early 40's. She had dirty blonde chin length hair. She was wearing a lime green zip up athletic jacket with exercise (yoga-style) pants.

His grandmother and aunt and uncle saw the video.


So now we know he is at least somewhat safe. However, we do not know who this woman is and now that we know he has help and transportation, it does make finding him that much harder.

IF YOU ARE FROM THE FOUR STATE AREA (if you receive "Four State News Channels" this means YOU), PLEASE KEEP YOUR EYE OUT!


Here are two pictures of Thomas provided by his mother:



If you see this boy, please contact your local police department IMMEDIATELY! His family wants him home.

For Our Good Friend


Last month one of my friends died. He was battling cancer for fifteen years. After he died his son got really sick and still is, they had to put a tube into him so he eat. My daughter said that our friend needed some good luck so she helped me design a necklace for her. My daughter hopes with this necklace that our friend will have better luck since her husband just died from cancer and her son is very sick too.
