Good Morning! I am sitting here peacefully enjoying a cup of coffee and gearing up to finish a very time-consuming beading project I started two weeks ago. This necklace has (I think) about 60 bead caps in it and the wire looping is insane. Of course, I love it. I just have to finish it. I am going to have it out in the store today and work on it as I can. Perhaps the distraction of pleasant conversation and new faces will make it go quickly.
Beadfreak Deal of the Week
This week we'll have a special deal for all beadfreaks. Come in to either store Tuesday through Sunday and you can take 50% off any regularly priced semi-precious stone strands over $10*. Just bring your selection to the counter and say 'Cynthia said that I was such a beadfreak I could have this strand for half-price.' They'll totally believe you.
Read below for the fine print...
This week:
Try-It Tuesday today at Panopolie and you can make these Curly Wire Earrings. You'll learn to form wire in an open and airy design. I think I will make a pair of brass ones to distract me from my necklace project. If you see me doing that, tell me to get back to work,okay?
