Okay - I am usually very low key about my birthday. . . . . but this year I decided to have a "Birth Week" instead of just a day. I thought it was a good idea even though Kevin bucked at it a bit. It started last Wednesday when my girlfriends had a very nice party in my honor and the celebration has continued. Al and Alice splurged on a birthday dinner and Kevin agreed to carry all my shopping bags during a trip to the mall. Wow, was that nice! Alice had trouble finding the perfect gift. So she went to a Pawn Shop to find an old broach. The folks that were dining next to use when she presented the Pawn Shop Broach got a real kick out of the whole thing. Those of you that know Alice, know that she will go to all kinds of lengths to please. Well, I must say that I have never purchased a gift or received a gift from a Pawn Shop before. The Broach is beautiful as was the thought. As my "Birth Week" is coming to an end, I will always remember the year I gave myself a week of celebration. I think everyone should have a "Birth Week" at least once. Give it a try!

We have been running around in circles here trying to get ready to fly out to Seattle, Wa for the Puget Sound Bead Festival. We will have a selection of beautiful clasps as well as vintage beads on strands with us. Please do plan on stopping by & don’t forget to bring your discount post cards.

Kyanite from Brazil and Africa, Tip Top Quality Larimar Rounds are here in limited quantities, amazing amazonite, lapis, aqua and more in the semi precious gemstone bead department. The flower of the month clasp for July is here just in time for the clasp special. You will find more vintage findings and vintage beads, keishi pearls and crystals as well. I could go on and on and on. . . . . We have also added older vintage bead items to the closeout section at deeply discounted prices to make room for the shipments that are coming in daily. Get these deals while you can. Once they are gone, they are. . . . .gone for good.

Our fabulous Kelly has put together some wonderful "Swarovski Cube Earring Mixes". These Mixes have pairs of cubes that are perfect to make several pairs of earrings per mix.
