Shhhhh. . . . . .Only special customers will be privy to the “once in a blue” favorite special. That’s right, it’s the clasp special! 10% off clasps, with the exception of net priced items and JB Special Clasps This special discount is in addition to any wholesale discounts you may be entitled to. It’s a super deal but hurry, because it will end on September 15th. To take advantage of this special, write the words “CLASP SPECIAL” in the comment section during the checkout of your online order.
Moonlight Cruise I’m a little tired today. Why? Well, I got home late again last night. It was well worth it though. I spent the evening with “The Golden Boys”. Remember them? My dad’s group of retired, 50 plus friends. Alice, Al and I arrived by boat at the house of our gracious hosts, Roy and Nancy Berguist. It was a social event that ended up with a parade of boats cruising under the moonlight. These folks are a lot of fun. I could go on and on with stories, as you know but I will spare you with all the shenanigans that transpired except one. . . . . During the ride, some of us decided that the name of the group should be changed from Golden Boys to Silver Studs. After this social, the women would all agree that it would be more fitting! These folks do know how to have fun. I’m exhausted today. The photo to the right was taken last night.
