Let’s start off the summer season with a favorite special. In honor of Memorial day we have - Pearls, Pearls, Pearls!!!!! It’s that time again. . . . . for a Pearl Special, that is! 10% off pearls. Many new pearls have come in so take a good peek at the pearls in the New Finds section as well as the regular section of the website. Hurry though, this special is only running until May 28th. To take advantage of this special write the word "Pearls" in the comment section during the checkout of your online order. Remember. . . . .You have to ask for the special to receive the special.
The pearl soup in the image to the right is a sampling of the new goodies you will receive as a gift in your online orders this week. Yummy looking, isn’t it? Okay, the gossip of the week is in. I have been accused of being selfish, a hoarder, & not sharing my prettiest of pretties. Can you image? To show some of you this isn’t true, I have actually taken out some of my most coveted beads from "the stash". Yes, I am going to share my Rare & Antique 24K Gold Dust made in Japan beads with all that care to add to their stashes. But, I’ll bet you won’t be sharing these babies any time soon once you see them in person! Enjoy them and the other stash worthy vintage beads in the JB Specials in this issue.

New Finds

I could write a list longer than my arm of new finds this week so I’ll give you the abbreviated version. More of that fantastic Rain Forest Jasper & Fire Agate in more shapes and sizes, Vintage Chain - More Styles just in and more coming every day, The Daffodil "Flower of the Month" clasp for May is here. If you liked the "Iris" Flower of the Month, you will be pleased with this one. Vintage beads, vintage findings including stampings and all sorts of wonderful hard to find stuff. Oh. . . .Did I mention the Pearls? Well, we have received a bunch of lustrous temptations just in time for the special. 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.
