It's Spring!

It's the first day of spring - although - in most parts of the country - you could hardly tell. Here - it's minus brrrrr and snowing. On top of the snow that it snowed last week. Or was it last year? It's all starting to brrrrrr-together.

So what have we got for you this week to make you happy? Dragons! Dragons make me happy, anyway, and I'm sure at least some of you will agree!
This fabulous clasp, in both Red Bronze and Sterling Silver, would make any dragon-lover delirious, and if that doesn't do it, add on this pendant for the total dragony-package.



If you are pining for spring, perhaps a quick spring-pick-me-up of a lovely new green Regaliz leather combined with leafy beads. Actually - quite a few new fabulous Regaliz beads!

Just slide these beads onto this fat and lucious leather, glue on a clasp, and you are good to go! The magnetic clasps, by the way, will stick to each other when you wear them, turning your bangles into more of a cuff look, which I think is pretty cool, actually.



And if you'd like even MORE leather choices, check out the new 10 mm and 5 mm flat, textured leather. This has been pressed and printed to resemble snakeskin - although it is, in fact, cow leather.
And some new leather cord in 1.5 and 2 mm as well.
Oo - and some with studs, too!





And - for the seed beaders - you know who you are! - Kate McKinnon's new book, Contemporary Geometric Beadwork. Look for an instore event to celebrate this new orgy of seedbeadiness!











If the winter white ISN'T getting to you - and I have to admit - I rather like not having to mow the lawn or smack bugs - you might enjoy this new stone - New Brazilian Agate. It is creamy and brown and white and grey - the colour of elegance and sophistication - not old drifts of snow, if that's what you were thinking.


Alrighty - that's a wrap for this week.
