It's All Happening Here on Water Street!!

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the past year and contemplate the things we are most grateful for.  As I sit down on Thursday for a wonderful meal with my family, I’ll be thinking of all of you.  Several people have told me lately that they are so glad that this little shop is here.  It goes both ways.  I am so grateful for all of you, your friendship and your patronage.  I am here, and will continue to be here only because of you and your support of this small business.  As the year draws to a close, I’ll be thinking and planning 2012’s classes and events.  I would love to hear your thoughts, too.  What kind of merchandise, classes, or special events would you like to see here at the shop?  Let me know.  I may not be able to do it all, but I will take it all into consideration.  In the meantime, have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!


THIS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26TH, there are all kinds of things happening here on Water Street in downtown Augusta and here in the shop. 

First, there are still a couple of seats left for BEADING BASICS with Marie Jacques from 10:30-12:30.  If you have been wanting to get started beading, this is the class to do it.  You will learn basic stringing, using tools, find out about wires and findings, design and composition, and how to put it all together.  It’s easy if you know how and after Saturday, you’ll know how! 

The other big happening on the street is the annual “City of Augusta Riverfront Holiday Tree Lighting Tradition”.  It’s a day of activities and events all leading up to the Tree Lighting at Waterfront Park and FIREWORKS!!  I’ve attached a flyer (above) with a schedule of the events.  Come on down and spend the day, stroll the street, see the sights, meet the merchants and have a holiday blast with your neighbors.

Specials here at the shop include:
·        30% off handmade finished jewelry pieces.
Dads can bring the youngsters in for a special gift for Mom.  Special Holiday earrings will be offered under $10.
 20% off all Swarovski Crystals for all of my special customers.  (that includes the beautiful, big stones to wire wrap or bead around)
Don’t forget the DAISY CHAIN NECKLACE on Thursday, December 1st,  Check the website for details.
Saturday, December 3rd, Lori Holt is here all day with two of her wonderful pieces.  From 10:30-12:30 it’s her SHIMMERING SNOWFLAKE and from 1-3 be here for the CANDY CANE BRACELET in herringbone stitch.

And, don’t forget to redeem your BEAD BUCKS this Friday and Saturday!

If for some reason I don’t see you, (you’ve lost your car keys, your hands are tied, or you’re away for the holiday, eek!)  HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING WITH THOSE YOU HOLD DEAR!  See you soon and,

Happy Beading,          
Linda
