Life is like a box of chocolates, right? Chocolate is a must here at AGOS. We had one of those days here. You know. . . when you think you can get just one more thing done in time? After a day of squeezing out as much as possible. Our wonderful & thoughtful Miss Jean wanted to get out an order late in the day. You know, under the wire but before the UPS man arrives so he doesn’t have to wait. Those poor guys have to keep pushing on with deliveries until their truck is empty. We have a very nice UPS carrier and hate to hold him up. But today we did and felt terrible so. . . . . I figured that we should give him a treat to soften his wait. A sort of thankful treat for his patience. I glanced over at Kelly’s desk and saw a chocolate truffle that has been sitting there for weeks. Can you believe someone could actually look at a chocolate day after day and not eat it? I figured that it has tormented Jean and I long enough and it went to a good cause, don’t you agree? Anyway, our UPS man took the truffle and extra package with a smile. Hopefully the customer receives their goodies early and opens the package with a smile too. Ahhhhh. . . . .life is good, isn’t it?

New Finds The flower of the month clasp is here for June! You will love the "Lily of the Valley" this month. If you have a itch for opals, check out the one of a kind, Colorado Boulder Opal pendant just in. Hurry though, they are limited. Lots of newly acquired vintage beads and findings are here. The AGOS girls love the Circlicious Dangles. We have all made simple yet wonderful earrings with these and you can too. Check them out in the image to the right. Our vintage findings collection has grown so large that we have added a new subcategory called Vintage Stampings Hopefully, this will help you narrow down your search for goodies. We have also added older vintage bead items to the closeout section at deeply discounted prices to make room for the shipments that are coming in daily. Get these deals while you can. Once they are gone, they are. . . . .gone for good.

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.
