At the moment, I have a few fun hobbies. I occasionally sing with my friend’s eclectic
band (honestly, it’s strictly for fun on my part. I can’t sing!!), I write
(scratch that, it’s not a hobby, it’s my therapy), and I dabble in making
jewelry.
It’s been some time since I picked up some beads and
fashioned them into anything extraordinary, but when a friend asked if I would
accompany her to the Bead Fair, I said yes!
The Toronto Bead Fair is being held at the Toronto Reference
Library and runs from November 3rd to November 4th. * Today is the last day to catch it!
When we walked into the venue around 12:30pm, we saw that the place
was bustling with vendors as well as other eager crafters. It was stimuli overload for me as I had to
look at and touch every exotic looking bead. Lol!
My craftier and more knowledgeable friend was excited with
the abundance of beads and bead related items.
Some of her enthusiasm rubbed off on me and I ended up buying a few
things for projects I hope to finish. (psst, I bought some gold tone beads, two
ring holders, a silver bracelet to adorn, and a pendant holder to place any
picture I like to create a unique piece of jewelry).
We spent about 3 ½ hours at the show. When we left the
show we wandered into at an accessories store that I used to shop at ages ago. Funny enough, we saw tons of necklaces and
bracelets that we know we can make. Kinda
inspired us to go home and attack our bag of crafty goodies. Don’t worry; I’ll post pics of my creations!
