Update IBExpos – we are retiring! A difficult decision but the right one for us at this time. A journey that started in 2004, when we had a crazy idea of taking beads and supplies directly, in person to beaders in smaller towns and cities along the East Coast. We found an equally crazy group of people who wanted to join our bead wagon. And what a journey it has been!
Vendors, you became our strongest supporters, you became our friends and then our bead family. We are in awe of your passion for beads and beading. This passion became a huge incentive when we scaled from 2 shows in 2004 to 30 shows by 2012! With a lump in our throats, a happy tear in our eyes, a smile in our hearts we say thank you.
We also cherish our loyal customers without whom the Innovative Bead Expos may not have existed nor flourished for these past 20+ years. Thank you for your support, love and friendship. Thank you for coming out to support our vendors.
Thank you to our beloved teachers whose creativity and genius we had the honor to see firsthand. Your magnanimous support over the years has meant so much to us. You have taught just 1 student or a full house with equal enthusiasm; thank you! Your generosity of passion, time and friendship leave us humbled.
From 2024 the Oaks, PA and the Edison, NJ shows will be produced and managed by The Best Bead Shows. Many of you are already familiar with this company as they run shows in Philadelphia, Maryland, Florida, Tucson, N. Carolina, etc. The dates for these shows are Oaks, PA March 22-24 and Edison, NJ July 19-21. For more information visit BestBeadshow.com or you can email John Iannucci at [email protected].
We’ve moved to beautiful California to be closer to the kids and grandkids. We are still available on social media so please feel free to PM us, as well as email us at [email protected].
Thank you for the inspiration; thank you for the love; thank you for you. We appreciate every one of you and are eternally grateful and blessed.
Happy Bead Trails.
