Budding Designers

Cynthia, Jen's sister in-law, and our very competent show organizer, dropped by the store the other night, after hours, and she had her two young sons with her. She popped into the back office to check on some stuff, and told the two boys they could pick out some beads for a necklace to make. She proceeded to make some calls, handle some paperwork, while the constant pitter-rattle of dropping beads sounded from the showroom part of the store.

Finally, finished, she headed back out to gather her sons. Her scream could be heard down the block. The two boys had picked out enough beads for necklaces that would make my stuff look minimalist by comparison. High-end stuff too - whole containers of Swarovski stars, bicones, cubes, resin beads, leaves, pressed glass, turtles, Preciosa, CZs - all mixed up together! A small fortune in beads!

It took a significant amount of time to sort it out and put everything back! If the boys want to design like that - they are going to have to get jobs!
