Pretty Picot
Netted Pearls
Silver Knot Bracelet
We have some changes occuring beginning in August. We will now be open later one day a week for those of you who cannot make it to the store after work. We will now be open until 7 every Thursday evening. However we will be opening a bit later - 11 a.m. - to compensate for staying later. We understand the situation with working women (even on our days off!) and hope this helps a little. So Thursday hours will now be 11-7.
We also would like you to take notice of one of our customers great knitted tote bags which stretch with additional groceries, toys, beach necessities or whatever. They're such happy colors and can you ever have too many totes?? Perfect for keeping in your car or purse to avoid the dreaded plastic!
Many of you have already admired and perhaps purchased one of the gorgeous tooled leather handbags and wallets we have available. This is a one-time sale and each bag is priced at half the marked price. These are great deals so start thinking ahead to the holidays!
We also want our regular class participants to know that we will now be including stringing material and needles if required in the class supply list. Initially we provided the needles and the Fireline or preferred thread but now that you've all become familiar with materials, we will include these with the supply list and you will be expected to bring that along with you. Of course if you forget or you're a newcomer we'll be happy to provide you with some!
Closing alert: We will be closed Friday, August 20 to attend BeadFest and Monday, Sept. 6 for Labor Day.
And now on to our August classes - come in and get cool and learn a new pattern!
