TOO MUCH RAIN
Am almost afraid to complain but -- are you as tired of rain as I am? don't want another drought but don't want to have to swim to work.
Have been spinning wool blends and knitting - between customers.
Received a small shipment of non-lead pewter beads (daisy spacers) and several strand separators. Have to count out spacers and bag them.
Am slowly disinfecting and rebagging the French seed beads that went through the flood in 2008.
The French seed bead factory shut down several years ago so when these beads are gone there is no reordering them. There is a size difference between French and Czech seed beads. Czech 11/0 equals French 12/0.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Another area bead store has been telling her customers that I am closed. That is a lie and she is giving misinformation. Now the truth of this story is: I have put the building up for sale. Not the store. With the economy as bad as it is, it will probably be at least a year before the building sells.
The store is open - same hours Tues. thru Sat. 11:00 to 5:00. Call before you come if you want to make sure the store is open - 317 535-5007.
Because of the economy - bead classes were stopped for almost a year but because of the number of requests, have decided to offer them again. If you want a specific class, it can be scheduled for a day and time that works for you and the teacher. It takes a minimum of 3 students, if you are requesting the class you need to get two more students besides you. The class must be paid for when it is scheduled. Look at the right of this page to see some of the classes that are available.
A CLASS SCHEDULED FOR MAY 22 - 10:30 BEGINNING SILVER SOLDERING
JUNE 3RD 1:00 TO 3:00 BEGINNING BEAD STRINGING
REMEMBER
There is a whole room of seed beads - Japanese, Czec, Chinese, French
lots of books, semi precious, one of a kind fancy clasps, Chinese lampwork, Fire Polish, Chinese lead crystal-wonderful price plus lots more
