I was at a bead show with my wife, who does jewelry, not me, at the embassy hotel a few doors away on Sunday Monday and when we left I saw now traffic in or out of the venue Saltdog. It just didn't look busy at all.

I went on Friday from 10-3 .Spoke with a few folks.Picked up a couple of capes[flatwing] and a couple of hen capes for eyes.Whiting put a large increase in their capes[30-50%].It was OK but......Next year an over nighter at Somerset is going to be way to go.Tying materials are getting pretty thin at Marlboro.Bears Den[scott],Whitewater[Greg] and the booth on the back wall.That was about it.I know it's hard times and not to be negative best I can. |

ALERT--> you SHOULD be
watching the QUALITY of feathers what you buy,(unless you dont care what they look like) DON'T be afraid to OPEN them up an check threw, I remember seeing $30.00 packs w/ feathers missing in them. doesn't say much for the VENDER, I also have problems, guys PACKAGING there OWN. Ive had to return some, wont mention any names . QUALITY has gone WAY DOWN. w/ less an less fly shops around you SHOULD be able to find GOOD QUALITY feathers, make them take the extra step an NOT buy JUNK FEATHERS just because they can make a EXTRA BUCK on YOU. ENOUGHT SAID
GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN |
