I'm a major fan of beaded jewelry, and it's not just because I make a lot of my own jewelry using beads. Beads are in fashion, always have been always will be. If you're a bead lover like me, one way to keep in touch with the latest in bead fashions is to keep an eye on the " Fashion Forecast" of BeadStyle magazine. If you don't have a subscription - no worries - just plug into their on-line update over at the Fire Mountain Gem and Beads website. You can also access similar bead jewelry fashion gems directly from the BeadStyle website, but they require that you become a member (it's free) in order to access this type of information.
