Stefany, hi,
Do you still have a bead shop in London ?
Ann
not any more -we closed in 2001, but i still have a lot in storage, and since acquiring a large collection of african-traded beads last summer i will be selling privately, maybe online. at the moment my time is largely taken up with my mother aged 99 who is in a nearby nursing home -visiting twice daily. i now have rented studio/office space and hope for the time to begin sorting, cataloguing and pricing. i also aim to write another book and make my own personal "museum-quality" collection available for exhibition. in the meantime i sell each year at the annual bead fair of the Bead Society of Great Britain -you can join and read details if you click on the logo with the link on this page in the right hand column.
is there something particular you are looking for?
Thanks for the reply Stefany.
I live in Australia, but I will be in UK in June 2012, to see my 90 yr old mother, also in nursing home.
I collect/sell in Aus, and will find out when your bead fairs are on.
I would like to find some Akoso beads and green teal wound beads.
Thank you! Ann
