Last day of the show - Sunday.

June 12 - Sunday, and the last day of the 2016 Bead and Button show.



J-ME went to go look at the wonderful beadwork displays…...










and then the buttons on display……













Very busy - maybe our best day of the show, but won't know for sure until we count the money!

Breaking down our booth……...






And here are other booths breaking down……..





Everyone was running around making last minute purchases - or for some people who only just arrived at the show, running around trying to see all their suppliers and make their purchases.

Some people stumbled into the show by accident or curiosity and were walking around dazed and confused - what the hell is a bead?
Well, a bead is anything with a hole in it that can be used for adornment.

Anyway, by 4pm all the vendors were madly breaking down their booths and loading out. The union workers were tearing down the pipes and drapes, carrying off the tables and driving their forklifts everywhere, getting in our way. Chaos!

The weather yesterday was 91 F and humid - and today - 63 F and cool. There is a god, and she was smiling on us.

Last minute goodbyes and well wishes for safe travels by vendors to old friends and new friends, and the hall rapidly emptying, like the show never even happened.
