Would you like to meet one of our finest and youngest customers/actors?  D'ani Gumb is the young talent in the backseat of the Oscar Mayer Commercial. Smile with us and enjoy her commercial.

Together with her mom Gena they create very special jewelry and earrings. Her next commercial should be a jewelry one. What do you think?

Gift Idea

Everybody is busy, everybody keeps a schedule, even if only a light version. Take a regular schedule and wrap it in leather. You can glue it onto the schedule and decorate it with beads, beads on string, beads on a pin or beads on wire. Any fabric will do and you can customize everything. Bows, hearts, cut outs and flowers give it a personal touch. Finish it by adding a snap or closure. Do you know a writer? Would you like to inspire a friend or family member to write? This is a wonderful idea for a personalized journal/ diary for gals or boys age 11and up.

Answer: what is this made of...

It has come to my attention that we did not post the answer. Well if you look at the bracelet you see that is made from a fork. In this case, an antique silver fork! What a unique idea.

Question

What is this made off?

We had a customer who was wearing this interesting piece of jewelry! Can you guess what it is made off. Unfortunately, this is the best picture we could take. It was so shiny that the pictures blurred. However, we believe, you can still get a good idea what it is made of.  Please, let us know what you think and leave a comment or contact us. We will post the results later.

Happy beading...

Citrine is very popular and looks great when paired with silver.  It is the perfect gift stone/ crystal.  Who would not like to receive abundance?  It certainly adds a rich appearance to any beadwork.

Another book states:

..... Citrine gives courage to face life, gives joie de vivre, aids self-expression, helps with depression.....

Now that you have gained all this knowledge bead a Citrine Masterpiece!

What is going on

We are having a very busy week!  This site needs updates, new gadgets, we  make new business plans  and we are having some wonderful new celebrity clientele.  All of this kept us occupied these past days.  It is an opportunity for us to work with so many well known people.  So you can share our excitement I  am working on getting some official 'bead' interviews for you.  Apparently, there are more steps to an interview than asking questions.  That did not discourage us and soon you will be able to read some of the fun we had.
In other news, it has been rather hot this week.  We are providing our customers with refreshments and snacks.  After a long busy day, snacks and bead shopping seem to be the perfect tools to unwind. 
In addition, we will bring you the "Gem of the Week", finally.  We will post the written part.  However, due to technical issues we will add the pictures the following day.
Many new posts are in the works and you might find that some days we post more than one.
Look for the new post which will list some of our new classes, with pictures.

Have fun and bead on
