BeadDoctor

The sale ended yesterday. I hope you were able to get in on the deals.

We had a visit yesterday from a  bead store owner from Leweston, Idaho.  Nice  couple, great visit.

If you get the chance to come down and visit  Please do.

Well what can I say…It has been a long time. I am so bad at writing that this is a challange just to do this. I hope all is well with you and all is well here. We are having a 30% off sale right now. We are getting ready for the spring sales and need the room. Come down and visit.

We have to see what the spring brings.

I’ll try not to be so tardy next time.

The Doc…

We are looking at a couple of gem show this fall. Because of the economy we are not sure we will go. We will have to see.

Other than that all is well in the shop. Mom is taking a class and will be late in on Tuesdays for the next couple of months. Well see you at the shop.

Bet you thought I fell off the edge of the earth. Well I’m back. The new job is taxing and has kept me from getting back to you all. I hope all is well in your lives. Christmas is coming soon and I hope all of you have beady plans. Mom and I have a few plans in that area ourselves. We plan to go to the barter faire up north. and a gem show or 2 plus the senior center in November. We will close for all three of these. The faire is on the 17th of October and the others are in November. I thought the experience of the faire would be an eye opener for mom.

I was wondering if there is any interest in a Gem show at the store? Possibly in the fall? If there is any interest in this idea I would love to here it. Most of the items for the show would be brought in for the show and gone after.

Down at the store the beat goes on. There is a lot of interest in hemp right now. In the 60’s we called it macramé today they call it hemping.  I like to encourage hemping with the idea it gives the kids, teans and adults something to do. This is one thing guys like and we see quite a few guys in picking up big hole beads.

Basic hemping is very easy and can be learned in an afternoon. I can show anyone the basic steps on a Saturday down at the store.  Getting started early, around noon, is a good idea. Remember, this is not just for kids. I saw a great rug in an old magazine the other day along with some groovy plant hangers.

Well I started the new job and we have made it through the first week. Mom will be taking over some of my responsibilities in the next few weeks and some things will just be behind for a while. I am still doing my searches for the items you want but it will take a little longer.

The new spring items are all out and mom has found space for about 1/2 of them. We still need to sell more of the older stock so on Saturdays only, until the sale ends, when you are in the store, IF YOU ASK, I will give you an additional 10% off the final cost of the strands that are on sale. Gotta love all the if,and,and buts in life!

I, the Doc, may have to travel with in the next month. This will probably put me further behind than I am already. So patience is a virtue.

We will be making an order for craft wire in the next few weeks. If you want to save money, over 30%, than come in and ask about getting your order in. Also we will be ordering hair-pipe or hair-bone beads and you can get in on that order also.

Well, I hope you are having a great day.

Doc

Well here we are again. I hope you are having a great day.

I, the Doc, have excepted a different position at work. There will be more responsibility and at first I will have to give more time. Because of this I will not be taking any repairs until I get the hang of the new job and get caught up at the shop. I will still  be working on Saturdays with anybody that needs a little help.

On the brighter side… Mom just put out the last of the pewter and some large faceted drops. The pewter is priced great and the drops are real pretty. There are some unique stones.

We also received some some coral branches in red and a nice burnt orange the other day. These should be the next items mom will be putting out.

I left a message on the new stuff at the store. I just wanted to leave a note so you wouldn’t miss me. Mom and I moved a few things around this weekend. Nothing special, just a new spinner with the Organics on it. Wow I didn’t realize how many pearls there are in the store. We are working on 3 more new spinners for the entrance area. The finial touches will not be on for a while. We thought just getting the spinners in place was the most important thing. I hope you are having a great time this spring and getting ready for the summer. Please be safe. School is out soon and kids will be out in droves.

Well mom says we can build the first set of displays by our selves so here we go. In the entrance to the store you will see the bases to 4 new displays. Next Sunday we will build tops. So we should be able to display our new items soon. The new pewter will be in this week and out by next week. We just received cell phone straps to attach dangly things to cell phones. 4 for $1.
