The Clutter Fairy is joining her beading friends this weekend for the Houston Bead Society’s 2011 Bead and Jewelry Show. This is Houston’s premier event for beaders, with more than 50 vendors from across the country selling materials and supplies for all types of beading, as well as finished beadwork.
The Clutter Fairy will be selling organizing products for beaders and other crafters. The show opens at noon on Friday, November 11, and runs through Sunday at the HESS Club (Galleria area). Visit the Houston Bead Society web site for more information and a coupon for $1 off admission to the show. Come visit my table in the Beads2You booth and say hi!
