Oh yeah, it’s that time again! Can’t ya just smell a sweet special coming your way? Alice just loves the New Freshwater Pearls that have come in, so pearls are the deal of day. 10% off all freshwater pearls until July 31st. To sweeten the deal, the Free Shipping Special will continue until the last day of the month. That’s right FREE UPS Ground Shipping on all orders over $100 until July 31st. To take advantage of these specials, simply write the words "FREE SHIPPING" and "PEARL SPECIAL" in the comment section during checkout when placing your order. Oh, and one more thing - If you spend $100 or more we will also throw in our shirt, the "jabber blabber" tee shirt, that is. You can request your size while supplies last.
Sherrie and Glenn tied the knot in Maui. Lauren purchased two blonde wigs in NYC. Maybe she will wear one to the Charlotte show? Stop by and see. Alice took Al’s favorite comfy chair out of the sitting room.. . .What torture for those new knees! And the kicker of the week. . . I talked Kevin into visiting my 100 year old Great Aunt Mary (that’s right - 100) last week, and, now he is all she talks about. Who would have known that this old lady would fall for such a young one. I think I can take her though. He he! But I’m not one to gossip, mind you! Here is some news for all the local Charlotte, North Carolina area bead babes. . . . If you havn’t heard, the Beadlush in Charlotte is having an Ugliest Necklace Contest. Everyone is talking about it! There will be a "We want to have a party", party at the Beadlush on Saturday, July 16th from 2-6pm to announce the winner and celebrate beading in general. Because of the conflict of interest, I’m not allowed to submit my Ugliest creation. But I’m going to wear it anyway!!! I might not arrive on time, but I won’t miss this party. Stop by and say hello. I’m sure you will get a giggle or two.

If you are planning on going to the Charlotte Intergalactic Bead Festival at the end of the month, July 30th and 31st to be exact, you will want to stop by the Beadlush in Charlotte before the show to get a coupon for a 10% discount at A Grain of Sand during the Charlotte show. The coupon is also good for your next purchase at the Beadlush bead shop after the show for a limited time. What a great excuse to stop in for the "We want to have a party" party! Next order of bead business. . .We will be working on our 2006 show schedule this month and would like your input. If you have a moment, please email us with your requests for shows that you would like to see us attend next year. We can’t attend them all, but we would like to know where you would like to shop and see us.

You really should check out the New Arrivals this week! We have some gotta have freshwater pearls and, more, oh so much more. See for yourself! Even more new items in the findings and tools and materials section, beautiful new semi precious as well as some vintage and crystal goodies . . .As many of you have requested again and again, we have more "One of A Kind Vintage Button Clasps". As for the"jabber blabber specials". . . . . 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 addition of the jabber blabber specials.

Suzanne, Lauren, Al, Alice and Jennifer
