Stefany, it would be great to be able to meet up, and saturday could work for me.
Let me know if your plans work out, and we'll sort something out.

Second, I did say 'continental Europe', because I knew about the British ones. Did not know about the ones you mention. I did go to the bead and button festival in Briare, France, but it was a lot smaller than the British and German ones.
I believe it was the Perlen Poesie fair in Hamburg itself that made this statement in their announcements last year. Guess you can never believe the advertising ;-)
