Uncle Muffy is in town! That’s right. . . . Alice’s brother Henry (aka Uncle Muffy) is here for a visit. This is really good news, because the Branca Family really enjoys having him around!!! It’s nice to see Alice enjoying time with her brother! They like to do all of the same things. . . . handy projects and then shopping, shopping and more shopping together. I’ll enjoy having my handy uncle around as well. In honor of my favorite uncle, A Grain of Sand will have a Muffy Marcasite and Sparkle Special. 10% off all marcasite and Swarovski beads until November 14th!! We don’t unusually have more than one category on special at a time, but we are in a really good mood and want you to be in one as well. To take advantage of the special, simply write the words “Uncle Muffy” in the comment section during checkout.
Alice and Muffy What’s new? Let me tell you. . . .7 new styles of marcasite beads and a new marcasite toggle as well as connectors. Newly designed clasps including many with vintage and maybe even antique crystals and cabs in them are available in the New Arrivals section. We have added 4 clasps to the ‘Dinnerwear Collection’ of clasps as well as new new Swarovski crystal clasp colors. We have also added many new miscellaneous findings like crimp covers and the “Tornado” crimps and chain. New freshwater pearls are here at very nice prices. You will notice more closeouts and vintage beads for sale in those new categories as well. And if that isn’t enough, keep checking back, because we have new things coming in every day now in preparation for the upcoming holiday season!

We have added a trunk show to the Calendar of Events. You can get a glimpse of all our glitz at the Beadlush in Charlotte, NC on December 9th and 10th. Make sure to mark that one down on your calendar. Lydia and I will have some surprises for you before and during the show. . . .As for the jabber blabber offerings. . . . . Those of you that have been receiving this fun newsletter have checked out the specials before reading our news already. For those of you that are new, check them out and get them while you can. Its on the same first come, first serve fashion. We hope you enjoy this addition of the jabber blabber specials.

Please remember to support your local bead shop because they make the world a better place to bead.

Enjoy the day and thank you for your continued support!

Be safe,

Suzanne, Lauren, Al, Alice and staff
