Hello Everyone,

 

            And hasn’t it been a witch of a winter?!!  If we don’t see snow for another year, it’ll be just fine with us; although the four-legged among us (Shanti) loves playing in it.  We hope you’re all surviving without any mishaps.

 

            We’ve got some exciting things happening at Beads’N More.  First, our trunk show will be here only a few more days and there are still some outstanding strands of beads.  Second, we have come into an estate sale and have a wonderful cache of vintage beads from the Czech Republic, West Germany and Japan (when they were making regular glass beads).  Some of these are so unusual and beautiful that they have to be seen to be really appreciated.  We have about 95% of these hanging now.

 

Also in the estate sale are a TON of Czech (and some Japanese) seed beads on hanks of every imaginable color.  We are working on getting those out now and we’ll hang them as they’re finished.

 

We’d like to remind you to be sure and check page 7 of the Green Area Community Magazine for our coupon of $5.00 off any purchase of $20.00 or more.  We also have a coupon on ishopsummit.com that offers you a savings.

 

We have some fun classes scheduled for you in March and April and look forward to seeing you real soon.

 

Peace, Love, Namaste

Estelle, Alyson, Sharon & Shanti
