Beading

Resources

The first and best place (online) that I like to go is the Bead Fairies site. They're loaded with information about everything to do with beads including stores both real and virtual, all over the world.
Shopping grouped by large municipalities.
The National Bead Society Event List - a listing of bead shows in the USA.

Organizations

If you're a bead enthusiast living in (or visiting) the Fraser Valley Region of British Columbia, Canada (eg. the Greater Vancouver Area), then you might want to look into the Fraser Valley Beaders.
