BSNM 2023 Events
BSNM 2023 Gala Tea Party!
Wow! What an amazing tea party! (If you weren’t there, you missed a great time.) Several people wore hats or fascinators. There was lots of conversation and laughter as we played “Whose Clues?” and tried to guess which obscure fact belonged to which person. Thanks to Claudette Jaramillo for organizing this game. We had one attendee who found six clues, one attendee who found five clues, and four attendees who found four clues. All of these winners received certificates for $15 worth of beads and findings from a bead estate donated to BSNM.
Below are some of the fabulous Teapot donated by Board Members and designed by Pat Verrell and Laurye Tanner. These Centerpieces were given to one person at each table.

Raffle baskets representing tea-growing and –consuming areas of the world. Thank you to our business members who donated some of the items in the baskets: A Few of My Favorite Beads, Baskets of Africa, The Beaded Iris, Mama’s Minerals, and Stone Mountain Bead Gallery. These baskets wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you also to Jill Bartel for gathering items and designing the baskets. Marcia Newmon won the Tea and Beads of India and England Basket. Code Sister won the Tea and Beads of China and Japan Basket. Linda Gregory won two Baskets, the Indonesia/Vietnam Basket and the African Basket. Joyce Wolf won the Tea and Beads of Russia Basket.
It was great to see so many members and guests! Thank you!
