Bead Mine, Valentine?

February 4, 2008

Hello friends, 
 
I hope that this note finds you all well and happy and that 
you all have a bead board filled with sparking new projects 
just waiting to be created. 
 
And so another amazing month has passed and a lot has 
happened. New and established beaders are managing to find 
us every single day, the local paper - The Mercury - wrote 
a really great two page article on the shop, complete with 
pictures, (which consequently made me dye my hair blond 
again) the store's signs were finally installed (we're 
official!) and the jewelry making classes got up and 
running off with a bang. I am also pleased to announce 
that we hosted our very first bead soiree - which kept us 
laughing and beading well into the night - even if Melissa 
(and you know who you are) never officially got a project 
off the ground that night - even though she had very good 
intentions. Since the bead soirees are already proving to 
be popular, starting March we will be adding an additional 
soiree each month. Remember seating is limited, so sign up 
early. 
 
Carlie and I are always commenting on how many great 
beaders we are getting to meet and want to extend our 
sincere thanks to everyone for your bright smiles and 
enthusiasm, and of course, patronage. Regardless of the 
long hours, I know that I am truly fortunate to be living 
my dream, and am so glad that you are able (and willing) to 
be part of it.  
 
As you know, one of the goals of the shop is to unite the 
beading community and to provide a space where we can all 
learn and be inspired by our collective creative talents. 
By the looks of things, I'm think we're succeeding. Again, 
our thanks, as none of this could happen without you.  
 
We are working hard to expand the stock as well as the 
classes, and will continue to look for the unique and 
unusual items that will keep your designs exciting and 
interesting. Be sure to check the website frequently for 
new classes, coupons, soirees, and workshops. February's 
online coupon, entitled "Bead Mine, Valentine" offers 10% 
off any heart beads in the store while supplies last. 
Please also consider a Valentine related class - like 
Danni's "Funky Valentine" beaded bead, or Kathleen's 
Romantic Pearl knotting class.  
 
We hope to see you soon, until then, happy beading!
