A brand new blog


It's a brand new blog for Beaders' Paradise, one that we hope will entertain you, let you get to know our store a little bit, and keep you up to date on all the latest happenings and arrivals.

After the cold of this week, we're all yearning for a little bit of brightness, which works well with the closest holiday, St. Patrick's Day. Only one of our staff has any Irish blood, (Janet, who's of half-Irish descent) but in March, everyone is at least a little bit Irish. To celebrate this, we're offering you 10% off on every item with "green" or "emerald" in its name. Those glowing green beads can be paired with our Celtic knot charms, or any of the other yummy green beads in the store. (And for Irish of the other persuasion, we have lots and lots of orange, as well).

After the hiatus of the winter months, bead shows are starting up again, and we'll be attending them, so look for new arrivals toward the end of the month, especially on the semi-precious table.

Swarovski has introduced three new colors, the samples for which we have, and we hope to be ordering at least two of them as soon as they're available from our suppliers.

The latest issue of "Bead & Button" was a winner--we were all so enthused that we made samples of nearly every project in the magazine, and they can be seen all over the store. The St. Petersburg chain is especially yummy--easy to learn and easy to vary the colors in, so we ordered a new batch of 3mm Czech fire polish to use in that pattern.

Anyway....more soon....in the meantime, stop in and see us!
