Last Saturday a charming woman came in to make an eyeglass holder for a friend. She told me that she and her friends are all turning 50 this year, and that she intends to give each one of them an eyeglass holder for their reading glasses. I told her that this dovetails nicely with my quest to get all the baby boomers who need reading glasses to get real and get them!

The piece was charming when it was done, very light-hearted and fun. I gave her a few tips on making eyeglass holders (the design is opposite of a necklace, for example) and added that a wardrobe of them is a good thing, too. I've made matte black (macho) holders, and Bali silver and pearl (formal) holders, and a few in between.

Come in and see what you can come up with for yourself, or another Boomer in your life.

(Lots of moms are boomers, you know, and Mother's Day is on the way...)

Yours in beads,

Janet
