A rainbow of color and some new published designs
I’m at the Pasadena Bead and Design show down in LA, selling my own beads and working the Bead Trust booth.
Aveesh and I have a bit of a female vs. male/order vs. chaos disagreement when it comes to organizing the booth. I have finally convinced him that it looks better to organize the beads on the table, rather than dumping them in haphazard fashion. So for the first time ever, we have a semblance of a rainbow going on on the table, and I am tickled pink….er, tickled rainbow Oooh, here’s a chance to get some feedback from you fellow bead shoppers: Do you like to shop from a nice and neat table of semi-precious, or do you prefer to rummage through the gems in disarray? Leave a comment and let me know. I’d love to have some feedback on this for our booths in the future. Things are a bit slow so far, but it is Thursday and things are usually a bit slow during the weekdays. I’m having a great time, though, getting some ‘puter work done, and listening to Michael Franti with our neighbors. The song “Yes I Will” just came on, and I realized once again what a beautiful song this is, for the positive energy in the lyrics: I believe that what you sing to the clouds When you’re lost and alone Doesn’t that just make you feel good? Just before we left to come down here, I recieved my copy of the new issue of Bead Trends Magazine.

Carter, I am with you on the beady orginization. I like things sorted and in some sort of order. I hate hunting and pecking, especially for beads. The chaos makes my brain chaotic and I can’t decide what I want to buy.
I vote for keeping it orderly!

Hi Carter!
I like order! It makes it easy to see what’s what without having to dig.

I’m with you on the organization too! I can’t even tell you how many tables I’ve simply walked away from when I couldn’t immediately extract the strand I wanted. Impatient, yes!

I don’t go to bead shows, but for what’s it’s worth, I vote for order! Your display is lovely!

I’m FOR the organization. If you’re sloppy with your inventory, are you a sloppy business person? I walk away from those kind of vendors. Also, who wants to buy beads that are all thrown about getting scratched and chipped?..Not me. And, finally, would you throw your precious lampwork beads in disarray? … No, I didn’t think so. The visual organization makes for quick, fast, and MORE buying!! Females rule!…at least, this time….

I won’t even stop at a booth if it is messy as it is just too confusing. There are too many neat booths to bother with a messy one. I like the rainbow effect…I would definately stop here.

I know that this is an old post, but I have to comment! I love the look of your booth. If I were so lucky to go to a bead show I would most definitely be attracted and have to stop! The great care and time it took to arrange these items so lovingly tells me that you care not only about the quality of your gems but also the experience of the shopper. Tell Aveesh that he is overruled! And I loved your pieces in Bead Trends (my new fav mag!). But when I read that they were from you, it made me tickled since I once sat in a room with you, soaking up your creative light! The song you mentioned is truly lovely. I will have to seek that out. My new favorite is Sara Bareilles and anything that comes out of her mouth. Enjoy the day Carter!
