Bead Street News

First I want to extend congratulations to Nicole for getting her Petal Power bracelet published in the current issue of Bead and Button magazine (page 60).  Some of you may remember testing this pattern way last winter.  Here is another color version than what is shown in the magazine.

Here you can see her Czech glass button
 she used as a closure.

Beautiful work, Nicole.  Congratulations!

As you may have noticed, we did not get the new store opened by our planned date in December.  Lease negotiations with the owner fell through and because of the Holidays and illness, thought we would wait until after January 1st to see what other locations might become available. 

We are currently looking at another space a little farther down Chinden.  Unfortunately, this may not happen until March-April.  Tucson is coming right up, I have jury duty in February and  I have some medical issues  I need to take care of in March.  We also have a buying trip scheduled to the warehouse in the Czech Republic.  I was hoping everything would be decided, remodeling completed and everything moved in before all of this. 

A big, big thank you to all of you who have called, sent emails and are patiently waiting to get their bead fix.  We have most all of the inventory organized enough that I can get seed beads to you if you know the stock number.  If you have not found what you need elsewhere, send me an email and let me know.

Classes will continue - more information on this later.  Hope everyone is enjoying all the snow and staying well.
