Wynn Golfers The family has just returned from Las Vegas. Al and Kevin had big smiles while they play golf on the Wynn Golf Club Course. Alice and I enjoyed all the shopping and sites. While people watching, we noticed a lot of jewelry. Lots of crystal, long necklaces with chain and pearls and beaded purses.

News and Announcements - We have added a new section to the Closeouts. Check out the new subcatagory Last Chance Items (only one left)! These are items that we only have One Left! Not sure when, or if we will ever get these bead items back in stock again, so get them while you can. It’s not that we don’t love these items, but they have sold down to a lonely one and we need to make room for more new goodies. Here is another exciting closeout for you - Lazor Cut Copper Beads! Available in the Other Goodies section of the Closeouts. These copper beads will tarnish as raw copper does. We are partial to the look of the copper as it tarnishes. They have a wonderful brassy appearance that looks very nice with our vintage chains. Priced at $0.30 per gram - its a steal!

New Arrivals - What’s new? We have added some essential findings to our offerings including wire - Sterling silver, copper and brass wire for use with our vintage and contemporary chains available in 22 and 24gauge. All available in the Tools and Supplies section of the site. We have been adding so many new goodies that the list is too long to mention. Please visit the New Arrivals section to see for yourself.

FYI - We will be attending the Down the Street Bead Show at the Big Red Barn this upcoming weekend. We will be bringing some of our vintage chain and other new additions to this show. If you plan on coming to this show, please let us know what you would like to see there in person. Our space is limited, but we will bring any items you may have a special request 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 addition of the jabber blabber specials

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

Enjoy the day and thank you for your continued support!

Be safe,

Suzanne and the rest of the A Grain of Sand Family
