Trip to Lady Bug Beads

     

      Janine and I had to make a supply run to our favorite bead shop in St. Louis, "Lady Bug Beads."  The shop is absolutely delightful; so huge, so full of everything you could possibly want for jewelry making, and especially helpful and kind employees.  There are artisan-made pieces that are already finished for sale. You can even show up with your own supplies and sit there and bead all day, just buying what you need to finish your project.  The ladies working there are almost always free to sit down and help you figure out how to do a certain technique if you need help.  And they offer a multitude of jewelry making classes; some of them are even free! Here are some pics of our trip...
