Bead and Button Haul

I just got back from Bead and Button in Milwaukee and have to say if you ever get a chance to go, do it!  This was my 4th year going with my friends Chris and Deb. 

Let's get right to the goodies I brought back. The first items were in our treat bag given when you register for bead and button. 

I am in love with these tiny wubbers. 

These are little spoils of colored wire. 

This is a small amount of bead wire and a new thing called a spool tamer. I really like how it works and am sure I could make some of these up out of some shrinkydink plastic. 

Next up, some of my purchases. These beads were calling my name. 

A few small raw rock slabs to play with. 

All the types of paste solder they make, I simply love this stuff. 

Cute beads from Marsha Neal. I can't wait to play with these. 

I got some really fun toggle loops from Michelle McCarthy. 

This amazing tube cutting tool came from Anne Mitchell. 

A small hot torch for all my soldering needs. 

A super cute tiny all around great hammer. 

A medium set of super nice files made in Germany. 

And last but by far not least is my beautiful paisley made by Patri Cahill. I have loved these since I first saw them and am thrilled to finally own one. All week I kept walking by and admiring this piece. On Sunday it was still there so I decided it must be a sign that it should be mine.
