So many new things!

If it has been a while since you've visited us, now is a great time to come in.

We've added a lot of new items such as cloisonne, ceramic beads, glass critters for Halloween and beyond, semi-precious, Czech firepolish glass, and Swarovski's two newest colors in 4mm bicones: "Palace Green Opal" and "Light Grey Opal."

Please note our new hours:

Mon - Wed: 11-5:30
Thur: 11-7:00
Fri: 11-6:00
Sat: 10-6:00
Sun: Noon-5:00

We hope that being open a bit later on Thursday and Friday will make it easier for those of you who rush to our shop directly after leaving your own places of work.

See you soon!

I've just been thumbing through a new Beadwork magazine publication called Easy Wire.  It has many wonderful projects in it, and those of you who have taken the Mini Basics class are capable of doing many of them.  You also have the basis of knowledge you need to understand the well illustrated instructions.  We have only a few copies, so grab yours soon!

Those of you who are interested in going a step further in wire work, we are running a Wire Work Workshop twice this Fall:  October 13, and again on November 17.  In this 3-1/2 hour workshop you'll learn how to make your own earwires, clasps, and more.  Get more information on the Workshop page of our website, www.beadersparadise.biz.
