September News

I can't belive that September is only a day away!  It seems like just yesterday I was dreading the start of August because it was going to be such a full month.  August turned out to be a great month and now that the Car Show is over it is time to get back to the business of beading!

 

September is Zadok (Z the Bird) and Pattys Birthday.   So In honor of their Birthdays everyone who makes a purchase over $25.00 will receive double punches on their punch reward card the whole month of September.  These punches can quickly add up to 25% off of a purchase. So remember to show us your card each time you make a purchase in September to receive your punches.

September also brings the official end of summer.  We will be closed Saturday September 4th and Monday September 6th to give Patty, Sammy, and myself a break.  We will re-open on Tuesday September 7th at 10:00 am.  

We have a lot of great classes coming up in September with three guest teachers.  Here is a sneek peek at what''s coming up!

New NFL Charms!

Well football season is upon us and I know that each of you have a football fan in your lives weather it be a spouse, child, friend, neighor, etc. I was so excited today when I opened up a box and found that some of our new NFL Charms have arrived.  I ordered 6 different teams this week but 3 were backordered. What I did get was our beloved Carolina Panthers, the Washington Redskins, and the New England Patriots.  These charms are fabulous and are NFL licensed.  They are pewter are great for men or womens jewelry!

Speaking of the Carolina Panthers, one of our favorite customers Kim Campbell worked today at the shop making the Loop -de-Loop bracelet in Panther Colors. Kim used the black lentils and 4mm aquamarine bicones. When she left, it was looking awesome!  Way to go Kim and I can't wait to see it when it completed!

New Czech Glass Bead Mixes

We got in some wonderful Czech Glass Bead Mixes today.  We got in 7 new color mixes that have all sorts of goodies in them.  I used a package of "Old South East" and made this necklace and two pairs of earrings.  As you can see I still had a lot of beads left in my bag to work with.  Each bag is $4.00 and is just a random mix. These mixes are great for the person who has a hard time putting colors together.  Best part about this set is that I hardly had any money in it.  The beads were $4.00, the chain was $2.25 a foot, and the only other cost I had were my head pins and my ear hooks. Makes for an economical set.

Newsletter for the week of August 1st

OMG can you believe that its August? This year is flying by us! We had our Christmas in July sale this past Saturday and a lot of you stocked up on some Christmas goodies. We sold out of quite a few Christmas themed beads and kits but we will be re-stocking them just as soon as possible. 

We have two great classes coming up this week.  On Tuesday (August 3rd) from 6-8 I will be teaching a class on the Autumn Craze Bracelet. This class is $30.00 and includes all of your supplies.  This has become on of my new favoirte bracelets to stitch because it's so easy.  You can do any design or colors of your choosing.  This is a two needle stitching technique and is great for beginner to advanced beaders.

On Saturday I will be teaching my absolute new favorite bracelet.  It is called the Loop-de-Loop bracelet and it is from 10-1.  This class is $40.00 and includes all of your supplies.  In this class students will be learning how to make a base using size 6 seed beads.  Once the base is completed students will learn how to embellish the base with 4mm bicone crystals. To help keep the cost down students will be using Preciosa Crystal color mixes in the class . This is a bracelet that looks like it has millions of crystals on the top and it feels wonderful when you wear it. To sign up for either of these classes be sure and sign up online at http://www.offthebeadedpathbeadstore.com/, call, or stop by the shop. 

I, and lots of others, have went Kumihimo Crazy.  If you are unfamilier with this technique well you won't be in the dark long! I am planning on doing a video for the website this week that will teach you this fun new technique.  Be sure to check on the site wednesday or thrusday to see how it works.

Hope each of you have a fabulous week!
