Santa Fe Bead Fest!

Yahoo!  I've been waiting to be on the mainland so I could go to something like this!!  It was overwhelming how many vendors there were!  But being basketmakers also, the first thing we bought at the bead show was a basket from Zimbabwe.  It helps the families in a village there.  Here's the pic of it...we just couldn't believe the weaving:

 

We actually did get a few beads!  Not many as we were really trying to stick to our budget.  But here are a couple pics:

 

Did a close up so you can see the beautiful copper owl locket I got.  Just couldn't resist it!  

I love owls so much!
