CLOSINGS, TEACHER DISCOUNTS & BEADY BUNCH

Hello, again and I hope everyone is staying cool! I imagine many are getting ready for back to school. My youngest starts college this year - where did all the time go! Am I really that old? I feel like I am just getting going!

CLOSING! I will be closing the store Friday, August 14th and Saturday, August 15th to take my son to college but will be back on Tuesday.

With the start of school we will have our annual teacher discount week from August 4th-8th. Just let us know that you are a school teacher and you will receive a 20% discount on your entire purchase.

Also, don't forget Beady Bunch the 1st Wednesday of August - that is August 5th beginning around 5:00 and everyone, as always, is welcome. Bring some beading to show-off or a project to work on or just come for a chat. I will supply something cool to drink - you can bring a snack to share but it is not required.

More information about new items in the store coming soon!

Hope to see you soon, Susan

That was easy!

Okay, that was easy!
So here are a couple of more
pictures of some of our new beads.

New Sliced Aagate Pendants

Lots of New Beads

Hello Everyone,
It will take me awhile to get used to blogging. The learning curve keeps getting steeper the older I get and I am just not in tune with the cyber world. That aside, we have lots of new beads in at Side Street Beads including new Czech glass, stone and pearls and lots of interesting beads and pendants from around the world. I hope you can get by to see what we have - some items are going fast. I will be ordering a few more stones in the next week (strands in particular) and will get in more beaded jewelry from a line that has been quite popular in the past.

On a different note, Beady Bunch will be meeting on August 5th starting around 5:00 and as always everyone is welcome. We will have snacks, do some beading and talking and just have fun so we hope you can make it.

We are continuing with our basic beading classes, crimping and finishing and basic wirewrap on an as-needed basis. These are private classes at just $10 each and all the money goes to charity. I am considering offering a few other classes including peyote stitch and a wire-work class. If you are interested in seeing more classes offered at Side Street Beads, please let me know which days/times are good and what kinds of classes you are interested in. I would like to test the water and see if the economy is ready yet!

That is it for now. I will try to post pictures of new merchandise when I figure out how. Come see us before the school rush starts - I will being taking my youngest to college in August. That reminds me - I will be closed on Friday, August 14th to do that!

See you soon! Susan
