This past Saturday I spent at the Bead Haven in Cedar Rapids, IA at a trunk show, featuring handcrafted jewelry and beads. I had a great time helping my friend, Cris, sell her silver jewelry. She has been making lovely pieces for several years. Through Cris I've met many fun, creative people: Cindi, Julie, Melissa, Jan, Rebecca and Jeannie to name a few. Cindi owns the bead store and has featured local artists by hosting frequent open houses and trunk shows. The boys, Paul and Rick, joined us later for supper at a local pizza restaurant. In all, I had a wonderful day...it's hard not to with this group of friends!
