the buttercup newsletter>
On the non-existent August Newsletter -
August 30, 2008
that got in under the wire.
Aren't you proud of me?
Okay - I was busy.
So shoot me.
Or maybe I forgot.
Or maybe - I went on vacation -
mentally, that is.
(Eh, it happens.)
or maybe - just maybe...
I had nothing to say.
(no, that can't be right..)
Uh-oh. Look out.
I feel some free association thinking (read: writing) coming on.
"She means her Stream of Unconsciousness thinking", says Lisa, to herself.
(Oh yeah, I'm psychic like that.)
(Lisa Applegate - the official Buttercup Sentinel and keeper of my business sense. (Is your husband really going to improve the lighting in this place? - Can I afford him?)
(Maybe not this month, especially after BeadFest.)
Tapping my fingers...So, it's 1:44 am - and the September Class Calendar is finally....yay!...done.
(The natives were getting restless, after all.)
Be sure to check it out. We got some great new September classes coming up - Viking knit, Elegant Evening, Parallel Weave, Peacock Feathers, Donut Delight...
Lisa says: "I love these newsletters - Odd though - they rarely have anything to do with beads."
To those of you who know what we're all about - it doesn't surprise you, right?
And those of you who don't know what we're all about - well - spend a little more time here - we're transparent - and we're genuinely genuine. A bit crazy, but genuine nonetheless.
Sigh...I spent way too much money buying new things for the store this month. I'm happy, so will you be too - But I'm still nauseous - does anyone have some Pepto- bismal?
But don't think I'm going to tell you what I got here.
I'm saving that info for the September newsletter. (evil smile.)
If you can't wait - then you'll just have to come in and see what's new and sparkly - to go with all the new and sparkly stuff you all got at Bead Fest too -
I think I saw all my Buttercup Beaders there. And you know who you are. And I know, that you know, that I know - who you are.
I wonder if we got the same things?
And no Lisa - the seed beads are still not in yet - but I'm working on it - really I am. It's a huge job - expanding colors and sizes and shapes. And Carlie is really not going to like filling all those dang tubes...
I will tell you though - that we have some really cool things coming up. September soirees will be important as well as fun -and all pink. You heard that right folks -
Pink.
As in let's get ready for The Beaded Warrior Project. Go ahead, rummage through your beads girls - and pick out all your pink and white and pretty breast cancer awareness colors - and come donate your time, your creativity, and your materials for a worthy cause.
It was a huge hit with Main Line Bead Society last year - and it's important. I think we all know someone who has been affected by this disease. Let's hold hands then and support them - even if it is anonimously(how the heck do you spell that word? Lisa - look it up.) (And you know she will.) even if it is with shiny, pretty, little, things.
The word - beads, after all - means "little prayers". Did you know that? Is it a wonder then - that we find beading so soothing, so therapeautic? And isn't it a wonder that little beads brought us all together? That still is amazing to me.
Small kindnesses. Small wonders.
How huge is that?
As always - thank you to everyone for your continued support
and enthusiasm on making Buttercup Beads - the best little bead store this side of the Mississippi.
hope to see you all soon -
you may go back to your beading now...
love,
andrea & carlie
