Hello spring!  How I've missed you!!!

I've finally landed from a show-packed late winter and it is good to be home for more than a week!  Tucson was amazing in all kinds of crazy & biz-related ways, I had wonderful students in my workshops in San Francisco/Concord, and I have a great line-up of trunk shows and teaching gigs coming up in May.  I am feeling totally overwhelmed, but in an amazing way!  As draining as owning your own business can be, it can be weirdly invigorating-that my be the sleep deprivation talking, but as long as I remember where I'm supposed to be and wear pants, I think I'm doing ok.

We've been having a great time with all the new Tucson and California finds-new gemstones, pearls and pewter, as well as a great find of vintage and antique Venetian seed beads...white hearts, onion skins, opals and more!  New samples every day and we're adding some new workshops both here at the shop and at teaching gigs around the counrty.  Check out our calendar for more info on where we'll be and when.

Thanks for all your patience while I've been away and for keeping Penny, Jen & Kisha company-see you soon!

Gemstone Trunk Show

Join us for a special, one day, Gemstone Trunk Show on Saturday, September 8th.  We'll have the entire center table brimming with gemstones from one of our favorite bead companies.  And to make the day even sweeter...all the stone strands will be 50% off!!!

This is a one time, one day event, so get here early for the best selection-at 50% off there will be lots of goodies looking for new homes!

Doors open at 10am-see you there!

The Lucite is here...

Its the beginning of our 6th Anniversary week, and we couldn't be more excited...not only are we still around (many small, specialty shops have not made it through as I'm sure you are well aware), but we are thriving!

To help celebrate our 6th Anniversary, we are having a vintage Lucite Trunk Show from November 19th through the 22nd. We just got the box this morning and I've had to stop both Leslie and myself from grabbing up a bunch of goodies...we want you to have first pick!

We'll have the show through the weekend, so come in and see the bold, beautiful colors for yourself!

Thanks again for 6 great years...remember to pick up your Treasure Hunt card when you come in for even more anniversary fun!
