New classes abound!

Well, we're all recovered from our travels, now it's time for the new classes!

The new class brochure is out, I'm glad it's done and out. It's an awful lot of work, but well worth the effort. I think that getting the brochure in the mail reminds people that they should come in and see what's new. We have over 70 classes this brochure. Some we haven't offered in a while, some gorgeous new ones, and some old favorites. Hopefully we'll get a bunch of full classes since it's a little hot to do much outside!

The other thing that I'm excited about with this class session is the special events we have planned. Our goal with the Trunk Shows is to bring you items that you don't have access to otherwise at a great price. We don't settle for the vendors that do trunk shows constantly, everywhere. We want your jewelry to be amazing, and we do that by bringing unusual and unique items to you.

In a couple of weeks we have a glass trunk show that we have never had in the shop before. In fact, this particular vendor has not had their glass available in this area.... ever! It's not your run of the mill Czech glass, it's unusual, some of it looks like it might be vintage, without the vintage price tag.

August brings our first Sterling Silver trunk show. This is stuff that is more unusual, not the average Sterling trunk show. We'll have Israeli Sterling, Israeli Non Tarnish Brass, Thai Silver, and Solid Copper. Some pretty fantastic stuff.

September is the Semi-Precious show. It's the awesome one, everyone gearing up for the holidays. This vendor has the most amazing selection at great prices. If you have been, you already know this. Of the two shows a year we do with her, this is the big one. It won't be back until April, so don't miss out.

October brings with it a Swarovski crystal trunk show. This vendor goes to great lengths to get discontinued and vintage Swarovski crystals that will amaze you. They are treasure hunters, you never know what you're going to get, but they never disappoint.

Well, hopefully we'll keep you busy this summer. I, for one, am planning on staying indoors and making lots of jewelry! Keep on beading!
