Sparkle Party!
February 5th, 2012See this? It is now in the “fill-the-bag” box in Carrollton.
I got yer pyrite
February 3rd, 2012We spent all day Thursday at one show, but we have to go back today because we only made it partway through the second tent. But look at this!
And check out these pendants! Awesome they are! (sorry, Star Wars previews make me channel Yoda)
Pendants out the Wazoo!
February 2nd, 2012Did you see those pictures of mounds of gemstones yesterday? Yep. We bought all that, and more. Beautiful labradorite and moonstones, garnets, peridot, tanzanite, and more moonstone. Even lemon quartz leaves that scream Springtime!
And then we got pendants from three new sources, fun new styles with stones to match the beautimous strands.
And we were so tired that we couldn’t get decent pictures of them, we brought no light box and they are too shiny. Oops sorry wefelreallybadaboutthat, you know. But now we have to get ready to take on today’s show.
We have the wish lists, and many things are already checked off. Except the one that says “Lizzie wants to come with” – trust me Lizzie, the only room left in the truck is the bed under the cover, and not much even there.
Thanks Deb, for the hourly regular updates on the Cutest Puppy in the Galaxy, which is being Professionally Adorable at the FTW store.
Good stuff!!!
February 1st, 2012Oops. It’s the Good Stuff!!
You know you buy lots when the vendor tracks you down!
Delicious chaiiinzzz…
January 31st, 2012Shopped the first show. Got awesome brass, fantastic magnetic clasps, margaritas for lunch, and lots of fabbu chain!
All together now, arms straight out front, walk stiff-legged and moan:
Chaaaiiinnnezzzzzz!
Also fabulous raku birdies, but I want breakfast now.
We made it to Deming NM
January 31st, 2012After an agonizing farewell in Fort Worth (due to Mary leaving The Cutest Puppy in the Galaxy) we drove west. Dust storms may still exist, but I don’t feel any certainty that breakfast does anywhere close.
Happy Weekend!
January 28th, 2012Be sure to check in here or on Facebook next week! We leave Monday for out annual Tucson Shopping Extravaganza!
The weather is supposed to be much more reasonable than the great Arizona Ice Age of 2011, and we are ready to shop till our feet swell and out backs cramp up!
I need to go pack now…
Happy Black Friday!
November 25th, 2011We hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving, we sure did!
And continuing our Artful Bead tradition, we open today at the magnificently civilized hour of 10:00 AM. None of that silly up at the crack of dawn (or midnight) for us!
We are having a lovely sale all weekend, so come see us and shop and relax and maybe have a cup of tea. Of course, we Always have chocolate!
Fire and Sand is here!
August 20th, 2011Check it out!!
Happy birthday to us
July 30th, 2011Here we are. All decorated and stuff.
Sorry, but I got these up, started to “glow” and declared it done.
We have cake and ice cream, stone and glass strands 25% off thru Sunday. And we have cranked the AC to Max Cold!
