We are cleaning house here! That means that "Closeout Kelly" is putting all sorts of old goodies up for sale in the Closeout Section of the website. Kelly says, "its time to clean house!" so we are going to have some wonderful things to offer you at great prices in the closesout section. If you would like to help us with the cleaning, we would like to offer you a $5 discount towards shipping for any orders over $200. To receive the discount, write "$5 shipping discount" in the comment section during checkout. This shipping discount offer expires on August 25th so hurry.
We found some old vintage seed beads (to the right) in tubes that Kelly says, "are taking up too much space", so. . . . .they are in closeouts for $2 per tube. These tubes are six inches long & that’s a lot of beads for two bucks! If you really want to help us clean house and purchase 12 tubes, we will give you 12 tubes for $20 during this special. That’s $1.67 per tube! Get them while they last. This is a steal for these vintage beauties. We will apply this extra discount when we process your order.

What is going on here with the heat? Al says that its cooler if you take an extra bottle of water and play the back 9 holes riding on the cart. This way you are in the shade and don’t miss out on a day of golf practice. He been pulling in some winnings from the Senior Golf Group. He thinks its his raw ability. I think its the new balls I bought him for Father’s day. Anyway, you can’t keep him off the golf course even in this heat. We will just have to check on him and let the game go on. All the Brancas have obsessions. For Al its golf, for me it’s . . . .let me think? BEADS!
