‘Tis the Season

I love being one of Santa’s helpers!

Here at Beads in a Box we are definitely feeling the Christmas spirit. One of our newest creations is called Matchables. We are creating a generic necklace with an array of different colors and stones. If our customers purchase one of these treasures, they can choose a magnetic pendant for ½ price. This is an amazing set. Since the pendant is magnetic, our customers can interchange them and create a whole new look. Today, I just put five sets of Matchables in the mail.  They are going to Blair, NE.  Becky found us at River City Rodeo in Omaha this fall and fell in love with this concept. She’s been very patient with me as I’ve created five different looks for her to give for Christmas gifts. 

I love it when a customer realizes how our mission is working with volunteers creating in their spare time. Besides running a business, working our regular jobs, and having families, we seem to find time to work in the extra creations.  These Matchable creations have been on my living room floor for quite some time waiting to get finished.  It finally happened and I’m excited for the recipients. 

Are you looking for just the right necklace to go with that outfit?  Haven’t found the perfect look yet? Well, come in and see us! We can create the look you are going for with our Matchables! Please call for an appointment at 308-440-0153 and we’d be happy to oblige.

Merry Christmas to you and I hope you are enjoying assisting Santa and Jesus in creating Christmas miracles.
Tootles for now,

Winding Down?

I think not!   We are gearing up for more exciting things in 2011. 

In early February we are taking our annual trip to Tucson, Arizona for the international Gem and Mineral Show.  It is an amazing event that takes all of Tucson over for a week plus, and while it's necessary to our business, we love to go.  This is one of the times in the year when our creative juices overflow. 

     Our next big new venture for 2011 will be our Christmas in July - in conjunction with a craft show, we plan to have a bead show also.  We will have strands of beads available for purchase and the things necessary to make small projects (a necklace or bracelet).  Also, our goal is to have classes that are designed to help people learn the basics of jewelry construction and design.  You talk about exciting!  What an amazing way to share our mission and our love of creating at the same time.

What a nice way to end our show season - looking forward to a new, exciting venture in the new year.  Stay tuned - we'll keep you informed of our progress.
