Hoover Dam Thank you for your patience during the holiday closing of A Grain of Sand. The family really enjoyed Thanksgiving this year. Alice didn’t have to worry about undercooking the turkey. No dishes to clean. It was a super time in Las Vegas for the Branca Family. Alice learned how to play craps, Al golfed and I came out the big winner. We even met our good friends Mary and Roland of “Imagine That. . . A Bead Shop”. Kevin was our tour guide. The photo was taken on our tour of the Hoover Dam. Life doesn’t get much better than this. Now we are back into the swing of things with lots of news to get you excited about the holidays.

Our last show of the year will be The Beadlush Trunk Showin Charlotte, NC on Friday and Saturday December 9th and 10th.
