February 2, 2010: It's Snow Much Fun!

Ahh, wasn't that nice? All that snow and ice was just perfect. Now I am ready for spring. What's that, you say, we might have snow this weekend? Bah! I am not going to listen to you...

Shorter hours today:

Due to the icy and wet weather and upset school schedules we will be open limited hours today at both stores.

Panopolie 12:00-8:00

Ornamentea 12:00-9:00 (tonight's class will be taking place!)

Hopefully the roads will be totally clear by tomorrow and all the kiddos will be back at school, it would be nice to be back on a regular schedule.

Get out of your house this week, come craft at our work table:

Try-It Tuesday today at Panopolie and you can make these tricky backwards ear-drops. This is a new take on a post earring. All day at Panopolie, for just $2 a project. See all the details here.

Come to Technique Thursday at Ornamentea and you can make a Byzantine Ring for just $1. You'll learn how to shape a ring using basic wire working tools and a bit of metal hardening. Details here.

All the classes are up at Panopolie.com and Ornamentea.com.

We have added additional dates for the Etched Cuff Bracelet, Fused Silver Components and Knotted Pearl Bracelet at Panopolie
