Back to Business
We are BACK - back to business as (more or less) usual. The
new store is open - the showroom is ... dazzling - and it's not even finished
yet!
And so - we are back to bringing you our weekly selection
of new yummies!
Check this out! Check out this fabulous new fancy chain
that we found when we were in New York last month!
Actually
- a whole whack of cool chains! We have Leafy, in
Copper and Gunmetal,
or if the stars aren't out tonight - you can wear your own with this Celestian
Star Charm Chain (ok - say THAT three times fast.) 
Or how about this 3
in 1 - three fine chains joined by 
a
bead every inch or so. Or this Foxtail chain - (note - the grooves on the
wire on this chain make it a little rough in your hand.)

Or this Loopy
Charm chain (if you love our Sterling Frothy
Chain, but need CPR everytime you look at the price - you can 
get
really excited about the Loopy Charm chain!)

This heavy, matte-finished Rolo
Chain is my personal fave
of this lot - it has weight, substance, and drama. I'm really looking
forward to using this!
Now
HERE'S something you don't see every day - shoe
clips.This
nifty little finding is sort of like a clip-on earring on steroids. It has
a much stronger spring, and teeth for gripping (if you put in on an ear -
you would damage yourself!) The idea is that you make your decoration, bow,
rhinestone, wired whathaveyou, and clip into onto the front of your shoes.
It can be clipped off for casual, swapped to different shoes, and salvaged
when you wear the shoes out. You can make your toes twinkle, wear bells on
your toes, or even toe the line. ;-)
Other
cool stuffs - When Jen was hunting for inspiration for her partridge-in-a-pear-tree
earrings - she could have used these! It's a pendant or earring (large, but
very light!) - with a pastoral scene of a tree on a farm! Dangle crystals
or beads off the 5 loops on the bottom. We have them in goldtone,
silvertone,
and copper.
She's getting all Valentiney - so check out her new inspiration!
Or, picture this - the Three Stooges. (bear with me). The
mean dude asks the third dude to pass him a snake. He reaches into
a barrel and pulls one out and says - in the weird squeaky accent with the
giggle on the end of every sentence - "Soipently, nyuk nyuk nyuk."
And
if you conclude from that, that I am a basket case (not an altogether invalid
conclusion) - you can celebrate that discovery with these knitted
basket-like
big hole beads! (Just call me the queen of the segue.) 
Other
assorted goodies, like magnetic
bayonet clasps for leather, chain, or ribbon. Or a Bezeled
flower - fill
with epoxy clay and encrust with rhinestones. Or this key
charm - also with
a bezel for a stone, or not, 
if you just want to go with the plain key. 
And
a whole whack of new magazines, so you have lots of ideas for new projects. 
And in case you missed it - or are new to the site! - we are
