New Arrivals in the Bead Boutique

Khorrie and I went shopping and found some terrific spring beads and gemstones. Khorrie is really up to date on the hip trends in fashion. Bright, bold colors and geometric shapes are hot right now! Also popular - turquoise. I was just reading one of those fashion mags and it showed many stars sporting turquoise. It said, "Grab this look for $55." Yikes! You can make it for a fraction of that!

Also in store are ready made chunky bracelets in turquoise and "twig" styles. Only $6!

Copper is popular as well as we move into spring and summer. New copper findings like earring wires, head pins, and jump rings mean you can create the latest looks for less.

Every Saturday morning, Khorrie hosts BEAD & Breakfast from 10:30am - noon. Even if you've never tried beading, she can help you create something fashionable and fun for so much less than ready made store jewelry. And you can customize it to make it your own.

Our Mom & Me Spring Break Craft Camp on Tuesday the 14th will feature a zipper pull for kids and a gorgeous bracelet for mom, inspired by this lovely spring flowering tree below. Photo of the finish piece is coming soon!
