MLBS Monthly Meeting Project

We are excited to welcome new local instructors Carol McGarvey and Sharon Morse of Beauty and the Beads! They are going to teach us about Kumihimo through a presentation and a hands on activity! Plus they will bring a trunk show of their beautiful jewelry! I know I'll be leaving with some bling!
