The seed bead trunk show went really well. So well in fact that we hope to do another one before the holidays! The ladies at the table have been creating beautiful pieces of jewelry with their beads, and I have a few planned for mine.
I also went shopping for new beads today and will have a new selection of beads in the shop this week. It was so much fun to go shopping for new items again; can't wait to do it again soon.
The shop is open many Mondays now as well as Thursday evenings. Just call to check on classes or activities planned. Let's get beading!

Seed Bead Trunks Show
I decided to try something different and scheduled a Seed Bead Trunk Show. It has been a long wait but the seed beads finally have arrived and are ready for sale. We unpacked them and were excited to see new colors, shapes and sizes. There is even a selection of Italian seed beads and some glass bicone beads and firepolish rounds too.
There are so many of us that love working with these little beads so I know you will enjoy seeing these. They included square, bugle, triangle and some other shapes too. It is going to be hard to decide which ones to take home. Check your project lists and come on in soon
Happy Beading!

Email Hijacked
I know many customers and friends have received a strange email in the last couple of days supposedly from me. No I am NOT in Scotland. My Yahoo account was Hijacked! I have already worked with them to reclaim it and my information. They also wiped out all the emails I still had in my inbox. Why people think they need to do this sort of thing is beyond me.
I will be sending out an email next week with information about the new Seed Bead Trunk Show that should start next Wednesday or Thursday. I am expecting the shipment the first of the week and hope to have it set up and ready as soon as possible. I can't wait to see what she is sending us. Gina called and said to expect some crystal and Czech bicones as well.
Have a great Labor Day weekend and stay safe!

TRUNK SHOWS are great!
Highstrung Beads is going to extend the Trunk Show till next weekend. It has been going great! There were/are many new beads in this one including metal, ceramic, large holed fresh water pearls and glass pearls. I called the vendor today and got the extension for a third week.
We are also scheduled for a Trunk Show in September, but this time it will be seed beads! There are so many seed bead enthusiasts around here so I thought wed try one. There will be both Japanese seed beads and Italian one. Gina said the Italian ones are not dyed and have some unusual colors. Plan to check this one out if seed beads are your addiction!
Happy Beading,

NEW TRUNK SHOW AND SALE!!!
Just arrived, a new selection of stone, ceramic, metal, glass and much more. The sale will only be here a couple of weeks so shop now. For you hemp weavers there is a good selection of large holed beads perfect for this. There is a small selection of hematite in this show as well.
Things have been busy at the shop lately. I have a lady that is teaching beginning classes on Monday and Thursday. The classes vary to include a number of the seed bead weaving techniques. We have plans for other classes in the coming months. Come in and check out the new beads and find out more about classes.
See you soon!

No! It Can't Be July!
June flew by! July is fast fading too. Busy summer for all of us I guess. This month is again filled with activities and trips for many of us. There have been a number of travelers and visitors through our city this past month; and they have been stopping in at the shop to see what we have to offer. I've taught several new beaders how to make jewelry in various ways, what fun all of us. It is amazing to hear how excited and please a new beader is with the first project. Many cannot believe they really did it so easily.
I took a course through the local Art Museum recently, taught by local artist, Joanne Staley. It was really fun; and I learned lots of new things to do with metal. I am hoping to do a simple stamping class at the shop as the trend seems to be toward that.
There is also a trunk show in the near future. More on it later!
Come in soon.

- I've always loved jewelry and sparkly things, so when my life took a change I began considering my own shop. I started Highstrung Beads in January of 2003 and it is still going strong. The shop is now at it's third location and better than ever. I try to keep a selection of unusual items, pendants, and lots of gemstone as well as the standard bead items. I wish I could have even more beads in the shop, just like other bead lovers, there is never enough!!
