   Ells & Farrier, The Rocking Rabbit, The Brighton Bead Shop, Kaleidoscope in Bristol. The Bead Society of Great Britain will be having Europe's biggest bead fair on Sunday 7 October in Wealdstone, near Harrow. Most major suppliers will be there. The bits and pieces are called 'findings'. Good luck
