Bead and gem show in Hamburg

On Friday, my hubby and I went to the Bead and Gem show in Hamburg. It is the 4th largest bead show in the whole world !! (We live about 3 hrs from Hamburg). When we got there, my poor hubby nearly collapsed in horror as he saw the miles and miles of bead stalls !! He was in Hell, I was in Paradise ! hee hee!!! Loads of people were walking around with their wheely cases (great idea if you are going to buy loads as stones are heavy). There were diamonds there like you could only ever dream of seeing. It was awesome. I saw a cabochon which had beautiful greens and blues and thought my hubby could treat me to it - but, it cost 390€ and had to do without !!! I did find some great bargains though, cabs for 1€ and bought some beads for around 3€ per string. It was an amazing experience (for me!!) and my hubby managed to finish his book in the cafe while waiting!!.
