5 years ago I talked my Great Aunt Mary into moving down South to be close to me. The Branca’s had a big birthday bash for her 99th birthday because we figured that we should really celebrate because that’s pretty old, right? Well when her 100th birthday came, we figured we had better do another big party. So when 101 and 102 came along, Aunt Mary expected more bashes. . . .and so, we delivered with balloons and cake and all the rest. Now, its that time again! Aunt Mary is getting ready to celebrate her 103rd birthday and she is enjoying life now more than ever! She even has a new boyfriend. She is embarrassed that he is younger than her. I told her that she needs to think about younger men because there are no men around that are her age. Anyway, now Bruno is the fella. He is this cute Italian man that sings to her and cuts her meat during dinner. Can you imagine? 103 and having the time of her life! Happy Birthday Aunt Mary!

If you havn’t checked out our Closeout Section lately, you will want to! We still have some really good deals on vintage seed beads in tubes for as low as $1.67. But many of the colors are going fast so take a peek before they are all gone.

New Finds - Lapis, Smokey Quartz in many new styles, unusual black agate butterflies, gorgeous garnets and more in the semi precious bead area are in! Lots of Antique and Vintage beads came in too. Our vintage glass bead selection is growing, so check that out! Super unusual metal findings and stampings have also come in. If you havn’t seen our new stock of old vintage faux pearls , you will most certainly want to. You will be amazed at the quality and fantastic prices!!! The flower of the month clasp for September is the "Daisy". Another pretty one!.
