June flowers


The day lilies are incredible now. The orange ones are blooming all down Hwy 305 and the yellow ones in our yard make you happy just to see them.

But here is what is blooming in the bead shop!

We have made these amazing little beaded beads in all sorts of color combinations.

Classes this week


We have a class Thursday night (May 27th at 6:00) that I am calling Basic Beading Bootcamp. It covers stringing and crimping on jewelry wire, making a pendant out of beads, stretch bracelet, earrings and leather or ribbon necklace.

The fee for the class is $40 and includes a kit. Call for a reservation and to request a color. This set is pink crystals and rose quartz. You can choose pink, brown, purple and jet black.

Saturday May 29th we don't have a morning class but the afternoon class is a brick stitch bracelet taught by Betsy. Class fee is $20 plus supplies. You can choose your beads before class or let us know if you want a kit assembled.

Hello from Bead Towne


We have some customers that have work to show off: This shows what some double ab crystals can do... bling!










These are new creations from Shirley. This is the St Petersburg pattern in the June Bead & Button.



In other news, don't forget that we have some great new classes coming up. There is a resin class coming up on June 9th teaching a technique for making faux amber taught by Renee. And Lacey has a class in making a beaded bead that fits a Pandora or Troll style bracelet (two classes for this one on June 5th and another on June 10th).

Pictures for those on the website.
