Between now and then, come in and take advantage of a huge 3DAY SALE!!!! There are new items and lines that I’d like to get in, but I’ve no place to put them. So, I need to clean house. For the next three days, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, June 28th, 29th and 30th,

“Pandora Beads” abound in crystal, Murano, stone lamp work, cat’s eye, animal shapes, metal and more!


Don’t forget to register for upcoming classes. Since the release of the third quarter schedule last week, calls have been coming in to book seats. Don’t let your seat be taken by someone else. Call to today!


Thursday, July 7th is the first of the “Christmas in July” classes. EASY NETTED SNOWFLAKES will get your holiday beading off to a simple, yet elegant start. New to hand bead weaving? This is the class for you to get emersed in the art form. Are you an old hand? Then this is an easy, relaxed project to pass a summer evening. Either way, you’ll love it! Class runs from 6-8 and the fee is $25.


SATURDAY, JULY 9TH, Mig is back with us with two super classes.  From 10:30 – 12:30, she will walk you through the beautiful BORDER WRAP.  This is a great one to learn because the binding technique for the edges lends itself to many other wire wrapping projects.  For example, “Prongs” (see description under next month’s wire class listing on the website).  

From 1-3p.m., try the exquisite “Beez to Butterflies” Chain Maille technique.  You must have some prior chain maille experience for this class.  This is a beautiful, substantial bracelet.  I just love the feel of the piece on my wrist.  It has just enough weight to let you know you are wearing something special. If you are not sure if you have the experience necessary to take on the project?  Call me for more information.  Fee: $65 for each of Mig’s wire classes.

Stop in for the sale, to register for your favorite class or just to see what’s new.  Just stop in to say “Hi”!  It’s always a pleasure to see you and what you’ve been beading.  If I don’t see you, have a Happy 4th!
