Victoria Secret Check out the spring 2007 Victoria’s Secret Catalog. The back cover features Alessandra Ambrosio, modeling their vintage vogue outfit. (photo above) Take a close look at her necklace. It’s made with Vintage Polka Dot Beads. Guess what? We have the Vintage Polka Dot beads in stock for your Vintage Vogue beading needs. Let me clarify that. . . .We have the loose beads, not the necklace. The colors we have available are yellow, green, blue, orange and white Check them out in our New Arrivals section of the website or in the Vintage Lucite Section. These vintage German lucite polka dot beads are all the rage!
Many of you sent in guesses for the owner of the pomagranite martini, but not one correct guess came to pass. The correct answer was Lydia’s mother. She was standing to my left. FYI - Alice was sipping on a scotch and soda in the photo.

New Arrivals More of everything as usual! Lots of pearls, semi precious and findings are in. We are getting kilos upon kilos of new goodies, so check the site often for the new.

In response to your special requests, we have tried to get more JB Special clasps up at a time. So. . . . . .you will notice that we have grouped some in lots of two or three. We hope this helps give more of you a chance to get in there and get a pretty grouping of clasps. And, if you missed out on a clasp or group of clasps, don’t worry. . . . . We will be putting the specials up in batches for the next day or so. Check back, you may find just what you are looking for.

. . . .As for the Jabber Blabber offerings. . . . . Those of you that have been receiving this fun newsletter have checked out the specials before reading our news already. For those of you that are new, check them out and get them while you can. Its on the same first come, first serve fashion. We hope you enjoy this edition of the Jabber Blabber.

Please remember to support your local bead shop because they make the world a better place to bead.
