Ever since the debut of the sideways cross, we have included a wide variety of sideways crosses in our store selection. Many of you had requested special colors and designs, some of which we obliged. Is this going to be one of those passing trends, or is it something that’s here to stay? What do you think? Yay or nay?

As 2013 approaches, we are happy to see that the fall/winter color trends include a palette of bright colors. Don’t be afraid to mix metals as well as we will be seeing more of that on the runways in the upcoming year. It’s going to be all about colors in our store as well so stop being a dull Jane and hop on in to see us!

For those of you who have been patiently waiting for the gum ball beads, It’s HERE! Here is a preview of the long awaited gum ball beads in 16mm and 20mm. There are 22 beads in the $3 16mm strand and 18 beads in the $4 20mm strands. They look good enough to eat! Hurry in before they are all gone!

We see many artisans coming in and out of the store daily. As they checkout their basket of glistening jewels, I like to guess what their finished product may look like. Sometimes, I have absolutely no idea and it makes me really curious to find out. Once, our beading instructor bought an odd collection of materials and random pieces. She later brought in a stunning piece of necklace that belongs in an art museum! Here’s one of her pendant. If you would like to learn how to make it, join us in our beading class!

What are you making now? Step outside the box and start creating! Bring in your creations, we would love to see them!
