Hi Everyone! I want to apologize for falling off the grid for a while! I’ll be honest; trying to run a small business is no easy task, and although I have a fabulous property/building to work with, the location is a tough one. I’m the last Bead/jewelry craft supplier in a 30 mile area, yet still need to get the word out that I’m here-1/4 mile inside the Ellsworth town line on route 1A. I sell Japanese seed beads and many others by the gram. (Can’t get those at the big box stores.)Christmas is flying at us and so I popped out 2 new pairs of Christmas Tree earrings to offer some inspiration. (Sorry they didn’t photograph as well as I’d like. I have the beads, the wire and the ability to teach. Think about making some Christmas gifts and come see me for how-tos! New winter store hours: Wed-Sat. 9:30-5:30. Any other time by requests...(207)631-9630

So Great to have a live visit from Laura Blanchette today! She makes these beautiful hand wired mega-charm bracelets and much more...and my tip for the day is...there's more than one way to wear your bracelets, especially charm bracelets; attach a chain to the ends and wear it as a statement necklace!

So, I've been a bit obsessed with Russian Leaves lately and came across this unusual version using "mini duos"...pretty cool! Somehow, armadillos come to mind...like the stronger textures...
