Just Bead It: Holidaze!


I'm about a lost as this baby looks! babyelfcostume.com

Good afternoon, Beadniks everywhere!

In case there’s someone out there, like me, who hasn’t quite gotten into the holiday spirit and still needs to do the bulk of their holiday shopping/crafting/dreaming/planning/baking/creating/decorating, I have news for you! Just Bead It is standing in 3 locations right NOW with arms wide open waiting for the masses to huddle next to us by our heaters and bead our little hearts out. I’ve been saying this again and again, but who among you out there doesn’t want a handmade gift from the heart? The Scrooges and the Grinches, that’s who! It’s been an extremely trying past couple months for a lot of us and I think, from a personal standpoint, the more thought and love that’s put into each gift, the more meaningful it is. But where, oh where, do we get inspired?! Lucky for us there are a ton of websites out there with a billion ideas. And guess what! We have the means to recreate many of the most popular jewelery on the market. And guess what else! You get bonus points for supporting a local business!

Speaking of technology, Just Bead It is now on Pinterest Which if you don’t know, is the highly addictive internet equivalent of clipping pictures from your favorite magazines and sharing them with all your friends. So look us up and follow our boards! We're also offering a deal that if you "like" our facebook page and then come into the store, we will give you a free pair of earrings AND 10% off your entire purchase (Trollbeads excluded)

As always, we are offering classes and workshops for all ages. New pricing is in effect: $20 per class with supplies additional. Teach a (wo)man to fish, as they say, and (s)he’ll never go hungry. Or teach someone how to bead and they’re never without a gift in a pinch. The workshop schedules are posted right here.

We are also about to receive a nice order of our lovely Trollbeads (Vermont store only) and are proud to announce that we have made a sterling silver bead of a bear! It was designed and carved right in shop by me! I had so much fun!

On the left side, you can see a bear peeking around the corner of a very well textured stump.

And lastly, in order to support victims of Hurricane Sandy, we are selling Jersey Strong necklaces in all shops for $19.97 each. Portions of the sale goes right back into helping those who were affected by the storm.
