However, don't despair, we have decided to take over with Southampton Bead Shop and keep the show going! At this beautiful venue in Haydock Race Course, just off the M6. Put it in your diary: Sunday 26th April & Sunday 13th September 2020. Pic is 'Ave a Go ladies.
Bath Gem n Bead Fair – 5th-6th October
This was one of the worse Gem n Bead Fairs’ we’ve exhibited at, and we won’t return next year. Very few visitors, but it was a nice hall upstairs overlooking a dog show on the race course. Can’t win them all!
Norwich Bead Fair – 13th October
Fantastic! We took a lot more in a few hours, than two days at Bath. This was our second best ever Norwich show, with many visitors, all spending well. And a great atmosphere in the warm cozy, newsy-refurbished hotel hall – the free mince pies, coffee and other refreshments went well!
The Big Bead Show – 19th October
This is always our best show, with more visitors, more atmosphere and more money than any other.
However, takings and visitors were a little down on usual – with around 50 exhibitors, there used to be 80! Still good though. Pic is part of the long queue to enter at 10am.
Newton Abbot Gem n Bead Fair – 26th-27th October
We love the West Country, and always stay a little longer before or after a show.
Newton Abbot was disastrous on the Saturday due to torrential rain – but Sunday made up with many regular visitors. It’s great for us at this show, as we have lots of room to show all our beads.
Cheshire Bead Fair – 3rd November
Our best Cheshire Bead Fair to date (or I can remember)! A slow start, but picked up rapidly. Lots of visitors, old and new,
resulting in many large and small sales.
The 3pm close worked well – although we were still selling at this time, it allowed us to load the van in the light.
It’s name originates from ‘tura mali’: meaning like ‘stone with mixed colours’. Usually found in granite mined in Brazil or Africa.
Tourmaline is believed to combine creativity and discipline, and is a natural source of negative ions and far infrared rays. Far infrared therapy is common to heal in Japan.
It is also thought to improve circulation, good for digestion, relieve stress, increase mental alertness and strengthen the immune system. As well as creating peace and communication between the conscious and unconscious minds.
Tourmaline, along with opal, is the gemstone for October.

In these financially-tough times, you need to consume everything. Fortunately it is possible to use these odd beads to make jewellery that will sell.
Don’t be afraid to disassemble old jewellery. Unstring the beads and mix them with new beads in a different design
WHAT TO DO WITH THE LEFTOVERS:
Bead tablecloth weights
Table cloth or cup weights make great presents, especially for summer BBQs.
Take a silver bulldog clip and thread wire through the hole.
Loop it back on itself, and slide a crimp over both pieces, pulling it tight to the clip. Squash the crimp flat to hold the wire in place.
Thread beads onto both strands of wire and finish with a crimp to hold the beads in place. The weights are then clipped onto the corner of a tablecloth to prevent the wind from blowing it off.
