Everyone needs a vacation. . . . right?! The staff here at A Grain of Sand has alternated vacation schedules so that we can stay open during the entire summer. We will be a bit short handed at times, so this newsletter will be a special one since we won’t be able to get another JB out as soon as we would like. The image to the right is of some of our newly found vintage Swarovski crystal collection. These are all rare items. We thought it appropriate to offer some special sparkles for you to add to your collection during this "Sparkle Special" as well. We have added some rare vintage strands of Roses Montees, Starlight & Givre White Crystals and more. Check them all out! Look in the regular vintage crystal section of the website to see them all.

New Finds Sooo many new and pretty things are in and up on the site. Natural Rock Crystal Quartz beads in many faceted styles, new larimar quality beads, green Kyanite as well as other fantastic gemstone beads. 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. The mixes include pinks, purples, blues and more. . . . What a great way to afford purchasing those expensive cubes you were just dying to have. Now you can get several colors in just one lot. These lots are priced to sell. Not only are you getting a nice selection, but we have deep discounted them for you as well. Get them while supplies last.

Don’t forget to check out the Rare & Unusual section of the website for some new surprises as well.

We will be attending the Intergalactic Bead Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina this upcoming weekend. If you are planning on coming to visit us and would like to see something in particular, please email us so that are sure to bring it. We will have 4 tables and cannot bring it all, although would we wish we could. Kevin and I can’t wait to see you there!
