I had a bit of a Lost Weekend (again.) No details necessary, but Friday will be the last day of said Weekend.
My BFF Kimberly, actress, authoress and Extrodinary Friend Deluxe, let me come visit her in the Bay Area for the Bay Area Bead Extravaganza. There are no words for how extremely Fab and Gear (and stuff like that) the visit was. It was a Real World kick in the patootie for someone who has been lost in the virtual world for too long.
To sum up, a splendid time was had by all. BABE rocked, Kimberly and I beaded and shopped and ate. What more could a girl want? Oh yes, new Japanese Bead Books!
There's a Japanese book store in Japan Town in SF: Kinokuniya. I got four new books. A new Yoko Shimizu book pictured above, as well as a new Sakiss book, My Beads Style 12 and a 50 Beads book. Yoko stuns with her simplicity, Sakiss's colors pop, and there's a new "sumo vs. beads" section in My Beads Style. (Yuks all around. :D )
Perhaps the most important thing I got from Kimberly is a name for my etsy store: Lisa's Bead Closet. I was sort of favoring "Beadings by Lisa" but I guess it wasn't meant to be. LOL My store will be at www.lisabiizu.etsy.com. Please stop by in the near future to see my creations in Japanese style beaded jewelry.
Kimberly--I love you. *hugs*
