I was supposed to fix the catalog entry for Viking Knit this weekend. I really meant to, unfortunately I spent Sunday afternoon on the couch with a rather elderly cat purring on me. He finally feels better after being poorly for a couple of months, and it seemed crass to shove him off so the laptop could be on my lap. I’ll do it tonight, I PROMISE!
OK, it’s probably cheezy to call it a “Spook-tacular Stone Sale” but we just love Halloween!! We have been decorating for our favorite holiday, and we want everyone to have as much fun as we are. So pearls and stone strands on the wall and in the case are 20% off through November 1st. Isn’t that fun??!!!?? (insert “WHEEE!!! here)
Yes, we’re including the stone strands in the “good stuff” cases! But they won’t last long, so if you’ve been lusting over those sapphires, turquoises, tourmalines, or green amethysts, better come and get ‘em before they go home with someone else!
And of course we have chocolate, as always!
I need opinions – are rubies too dressy for trick-or-treating? Should I stick to citrine?
A customer in the Fort Worth store shared this idea with us:
Using pewter number beads, make an elastic bracelet for a child with an important phone number! She was making one with her number for her grandchild, but this is obviously cool and perfect for nearly anyone. I’m going to give one to Mary with my home phone number, since she keeps forgetting!
Well, maybe more than a little bit crazy. Maybe a sort of 1957-Caddilac sized crazy. Silver and vermeil arrived. Like this:
And this:
And those really big looking gold and silver ball beads? Those puppies are about an inch tall. Really huge. And there are other wonderful big beads, clasps, and some of the funniest earwires we’ve seen. (Ask for the “wardrobe malfunction” earwires. Even Lucas laughed at them. And he didn’t blush, either!)
And tomorrow, I’ll post pictures of the Wonderful New Stones (yes, they deserve capital letters, they are all really cool), including Swiss Blue topaz, some truly cool rutilated quartz, some Dallas Cowboy sapphires (Carrollton only), and black spinel in three shapes! Of course, you could come to the stores on Saturday and check it out…
OK, we are out of room for pendants in the Carrollton store. Really. No more space in the case. We’ve tried, but we just can’t find any more room, short of stacking them in layers.
So we need to make some of them go away, and we’ve decided to make deals on most of the artist beads we have. So for this weekend and next week, our fused glass, dichroic, and ceramic artist beads are 1/3 off. Yep, 33% discount! That includes Marsha Neal beads. Come in soon to get your favorite, OK?
PS – This is the Carrollton store only, because we’re the ones that only have two cases, instead of four. Does that seem fair to you? I thought about buying another display case, but it seems like more fun to whine about it instead.
