OK, it’s official, the new Artful Bead has an address! Drinks all ’round! Oops, not so fast. Now we have to WORK awfully hard to get it painted and slatted and wonderfulled. (I don’t care if it’s not a word, that’s what we’ll be doing to it.)
We’ll let you know the date of the grand opening, some time later this summer, so be sure to sign up for the newsletter! Now I have to go look at (white) paint chips.
Have you heard the rumors that The Artful Bead is moving / opening another store / changing drastically? If you’ve been in the store recently when Mary is being blabby in an expansive mood, then you know they’re not just rumors. So here’s the full scoop:
The Artful Bead is expanding into North Dallas!!! We’re opening a second store that will look much like the original one, with the same great ever-changing inventory. Somewhere close to freeways and easy to get to, but that part’s not nailed down yet. We’re planning to open sometime in August, but it’s kind of hard to plan when you still haven’t picked the exact spot. (And if that seems disorganized, ask Mary about some of the other things that have been done slightly out of order.)
Don’t worry, the Original Artful Bead will continue to serve the west side of the Metroplex, and we won’t check addresses, so you can shop at either store.
