Dear Jerry,
Do you sell your beaded works? Do you remember how
hectic it was just before Christmas? Wondering what
happened? Do not worry January; February and March
are always the slowest months of the year. It
will start to get crazy again before Mother's day.
Take this time to relax. Look at the latest
catalogs and try out some new styles. It will
get busy again. Then you will wish you had some
down time.
New Products...
We have added 60 or so new products since the
last newsletter.
Keep watching for new stuff. If you do not see
what you want, drop me a line. Maybe we can get it
for you.
We are adding more products as quickly as
possible. I always think that I will be caught
up by the time the newsletter goes out, but I
never am.

Beads in the News |
 |
|
While doing some research into beading frauds
and scams, I came across a site called the World
News Network. This site pulls headlines and news
stories from around the world. I know that
Google and Yahoo do the same thing. However, I
just liked this site better.
I try to start each day by going to that site
and searching for articles that have the words;
Beading, Charm Bracelets, Freshwater Pearls and
Swarovski Crystal Beads in them.
Many of these articles are in small regional
papers. Because newspaper websites have a habit
of rotating stories into their archives, I
create a page from the article. I always cite
the author where I found it and any other
information. I also add links to the any
websites found in the article.

Swarovski Flat Back Crystals |
|
|
We have been toying with the idea of adding a
line of
Swarovski Flat Back Crystals to our store.
We would sell them by the bulk pack or half bulk
pack. A bulk pack for most sizes is 12 gross =
1,440.
However, we cannot decide if there is enough of
a market for these, plus we are not sure how
they would fit in with the rest of our products.
They are not beads.
Drop us a line and let us know what you think.

The Specials for March |
|
The most common Birthstone for March is
Aquamarine. I have been having trouble getting
any kind of good quality Aquamarine for a
reasonable price.
I just got a good shipment in, they go pretty
fast. So order yours soon.
All products that have Aquamarine in the name
are 5% off for this month.
When working with Aquamarine you will noitce
that your fingers turn blue. This is from the
dye in the
thread, not from the Aquamarine.
