It all began with Adrienne from Wales... Our conversations last winter snowballed into an Autumn Festival with 5 days of classes, food and wine and even a bit of massage on the last day.

What amazing, creative, fun women! Some came for a day, others for the whole week, all were a joy to have in my home.

Colorful, prolific Dini joined in for all 5 days!

Turns out Carol lives in my home town right next to my old high school!

We beaded in the 'barn'

and ate downstairs - Kristi and Pam from Bellingham Washington, Adrienne from Wales, Dini from southern Oregon, Betty from North Carolina, Carol from Gig Harbor.

Dini and Joie (co-publisher of EYE FOR COLOR, did I mention college roomie and dear friend?)

The 'gang' from Tacoma - Jacquie, Candace, Lynda Janeen - friends for decades (we heard lots of good stories)

Kerstin from Bellingham joined for the weekend - so good to meet her in person after long admiring her amazing photography. See her photos from the workshops here.

I didn't capture a photo of Charron from Winnepeg - she hopped out early to travel up to Vancouver for Canadian Thanksgiving.

Autumn Festival in 2 weeks!

Jewelry Workshops in the Barn

October 5-10, 2009

Wanderlust Bracelet - October 5, 2009

At the prompting of a wonderful, creative, fun gal from Wales - I have decided to hold a series of Jewelry Workshops in the Barn the week of October 5 - 10.

Beads on Metal - October 6, 2009

Beachcomber - October 8, 2009

Wander With Color - October 9-10

Yes, I will make a multiple course dinner one night, hold a luncheon another day, a brunch yet another, and of course bring out wine and hor d'oeuvres - all interwoven with color and beads. It is usually beautiful here in early October - so perhaps the brunch and luncheon will be outside in the garden... If it's chilly we will be inside with a fire going. Lots of beads, food, wine (no, I won't forget the chocolate!) and a small group of fun, creative gals (max 10 people).

An invitation just went out to my mailing list, but if I forgot you - you can find out more information here . By the way, you don't need to have any prior experience!
