This last weekend I went to the gem show at the Orange County Fair Grounds.  I wanted to find some beads for the upcoming holidays.  There were all type strands with great beads but I didn’t want an entire strand of the same bead.  Every time we go my granddaughter has a hard time getting past the first couple of tables that have bracelets for $1.50 each.  I have bought some just to get a few beads that I really liked.  I found a vendor that had the Halloween bracelets for sale.  It was perfect to make a couple of pairs of earrings for some of my friends who have birthdays in October.
