For instance: Both stores are having a celebration of silver climbing toward $25 an ounce by putting all base metal beads, findings, and chain on sale this weekend for 25% off, and we have got in a ginormous load of new beads and findings just in time.
Our very own Amy Jewell has been featured on the Art Jewelry Forum blog about the UNT program, with pictures of her very amazing metal smithing work! (http://www.artjewelryforum.org/blog/about/university-of-north-texas/) The picture below is my very favorite piece of Amy’s work:

Lindsay (Carrollton store) has a booth at the Carrollton Festival at the Switchyard (http://www.cityofcarrollton.com/index.aspx?page=27&recordid=489&returnURL=%2findex.aspx) selling her wonderful jewelry for pets and people. Other Artful Bead employees will be “helping” her there. The festival should be a ton of fun.
We have an amazing lampwork artist coming to both stores in November (2nd and 3rd weekends) for trunk shows! (More about that later, she deserves her own writeup.)
And tomorrow is a full moon, and Halloween is next week!
