JBI is heading to Vermont!

Big news! Just Bead It is in the process of opening a new store in Wilimington, Vermont! We are all very excited and already started the process of collecting inventory from our stores in LBI and Stone Harbor.

We are hoping to be up and running within a couple months. The store will be open all year round, so if you are coming home from a day at the slopes or looking for something fun to do during the "off-season", stop on by and create your own unique jewelry!

Typestries is designing the store's sign, here is a sneek peak of their work:

Thanks to all of our GUCU Volunteers & Sponsors!

We want to thank all the volunteers who came out on April 25 for LBI Business Alliance's 1st Annual Green Up Clean Up (GUCU). The event was a great success, not only in picking up the trash around the island, but also in creating awareness to the environmental issues facing the island. We picked up over a ton of trash, and we can’t tell you how many cigarette butts were in there!

We also want to thank some people for their involvement: Tim from Timster for volunteering his time and services in picking up all of our trash bags and taking them to the landfill, Rick from Typestries for creating and printing all of the re-usable signs for the event, John from Nardi’s for purchasing the full-page add in the Sandpaper, Dark Star Café for the lunches, Andrea from Active Imprints for her design on the back of the t-shirts, Coastal Printing for the posters, Mr. Milton for his generous donation, Long Beach Township for hosting the beach bonfire, and the Beach Haven Fire Department for keeping us safe at the bonfire, Surflight Theatre for donating trash bags and gloves, all of the Municipalities on the Island for also donating trash bags and gloves, and Christine for helping with all of the deliveries to our crab traps.

Much thanks to the JBI girls: Tanya, Andi, Gabby, Brittany, Rebecca, Karen, Kerri, Ashley, and Cassie for tie-dying 300 awesome t-shirts and making 600 bracelets!

Here are some photos from Saturday:

Tie-Dying at Just Bead It for GUCU!

This week the girls at Just Bead It were busy tie dying GUCU t-shirts for Saturday. Volunteers who pre-registered for the event would be receiving these Free Limited Edition t-shirts in celebration of LBI BA's 1st Annual GUCU.

Step 1: Rubber band t-shirts...all 300 of them! Actually went pretty fast. We had fun figuring out different ways to rubber band them to make different tie dying effects.

Step 2: Dying the t-shirts in Green and Blue dye. We made sure to wear gloves so our hands didn't get dyed...except for Stacey...she went for the "green look" and proud of it!

Step 3: Let t-shirts soak in the dye overnight. We ended up dying half the t-shirts on Tuesday and the other half on Wednesday because we were running out of room!

Step 4: Rinse out t-shirts and take home to dry.

This way our volunteers don't turn green or blue on Saturday!

Step 5: The Finished Product!

GUCU Bonfire!

A GUCU Bonfire will be held on Saturday, April 25 from 8pm til 9:30pm at the Long Beach Township Municipal beach at 68th Street in Brant Beach as a "Thank You" to all of the GUCU volunteers for all of their hard work!
