Spring is finally here and our

our old favorites and some
new classes as well.

The slow economy is affecting
us as much as it is everyone
else but we’re doing our best
to accommodate all our
beaders. We will be selling
crystals in bulk as well as
individually in order to reduce
the cost to those of you who
need several for a project.
Also, when you take a class
you will get a coupon for 10%
off to use at your
convenience, (but not in
conjunction with another
sale.)
We will also have two
weekends when you can get
25% off on everything in the
store.
If you have a photo and
description of a beading
project you’ve done and you’d
like to show it in our
newsletter, please send it to
us.
