November Trunk Shows!!!!!

We just received a new trunk show from a new vendor. The prices are even better on the crystal and pearls beads. I can't wait to get the camera out and shoot a few pictures to post tomorrow! 

You folks that love the big bling balls will have a lot to choose from and prices are so much better than the last ones. There is a HUGE selection of metal beads and findings that I haven't even gone through yet. 

Check back here later this week for sneak peek pictures and other information!!!

Happy Beading!

Shows Coming to an End SOON!

The last week has been a busy one. I spent a weekend away from the shop and focused on beading and relaxing. (Why am I so tired?) I've been working on several projects and still haven't finished any of them. The Trunk Show has had a great response and I even snatched up a few thing for myself.

Next Monday, October 1, is the last day for the big show that is at the front of the store. The seed bead show will end next week as well. I hope everyone has had a chance to stop in and look them over. For sure, someone will come in after it is gone, looking for beads that are gone.

I have also purchased some African beads in brass, recycled glass (like sea glass) and other things. Not a big selection but interesting. Also some Trade Beads that are about 50 years old, for those looking for them.

Charlottes and cuts are also in the very near future. Again, limited and they go fast.

Gotta go, clock is ticking away.
Happy Beading,

New Seed Beads

Just in! A Seed Bead show. WOW two trunk shows at the same time, what's a beader to do?

Come in and SHOP! That's what. The see beads are sure to get picked up fast. There are several colors of peanut beads and lots of colors in the 15/0, 11/0, 8/0, and 6/0. The Italian beads have some 10/0 in them. This show is for two weeks.

The Big Trunk show just started too, lots of stone beads to choose from as well as pendants, findings and metal beads. 

See you soon!

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,
Sherri

Happy Thanksgiving

We're finally winding down to the last month of 2009. It's hard to believe another year is almost gone. It's been a hard year but, Thankfully, Highstrung Beads is still plugging along.

A vendor was in yesterday and I added a few more items to the wall and tables, come see! I also have a beader's personal collection for sale so don't miss that. There are some lovely semi-precious and pearls in the selection and they are going quickly. The beads have been collected over the years and include some unusual ones.

We are also expecting a special trunk show in the next week. It is from a different vendor than last time so there will be new items in. Will notify everyone when it arrives.

I am still offering classes and love having a group when possible, but will still do one-on-one. If you don't have time for an in-depth stringing class but want to make a necklace; come on in and we will help you with the finishing for a small fee. There are plenty of magazines available for inspiration and they all have a glossary of the basics.

Highstrung Beads will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, it will re-open on Friday at 12:00 noon. I will also be open regular hours on Saturday. Come in and get more ideas for those personal gift ideas.

Happy Thanksgiving

About Me

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!!
