New This Week!

Shiny Glittery Update



s29043 Firepolish - 14 mm Faceted Coin - Topaz Blue Lustre (1)That's what the gals at the store packaging and processing this week's update have been calling it - "the shiny, glittery update" - so let's roll with that!


What is making this update all shiny-glittery is that we have a bunch of new faceted firepolish beads for you! We don't see much "new" firepolish these days because, er, well - we already pretty much have it all. Not sure if I'm s29047 Firepolish - 11 mm Faceted Bicone Rondelle Rivoli - Hunter Green Celsian (strand 25)proud that our selection is so comprehensive, or slightly embarrassed that we are so overwhelmingly obsessive about getting it all!


On our Fancy Firepolish page - we have a selection of these short, fat bicones that look sort of like rivolis, but with a centre hole - like sharpened donuts. Or little flying saucers. And a few other odds 'n' ends too.


s29054 Firepolish - 5 x 3 mm Faceted Donut Rondelles - Seafoam and Sand (Strand 50)Speaking of donuts - we have more of those too. These Sea and Sand donuts are classic - I love these. I really s29065 Firepolish - 5 x 3 mm Faceted Donut Rondelles - Geology (Strand 50)like the stoney-look donuts! These Geology donuts would qualify too! But your taste might run to more vibrant s29063 Firepolish - 5 x 3 mm Faceted Donut Rondelles - Pelecolours - like Pele's Orange Fire!


But - I'm going to LEAF it there - as we have other PRESSing s29026 Glass Leaves - 7 x 12 mm Leaf - Apollo (25)matters to attend to. As a matter of fact, we s29028 Glass Flowers - 20 mm Fairy Flower - Chestnut Peacock (1)have pressed glass leaves! And Flowers!


s29030 Glass Daggers - 5 x 16 mm Dagger Beads - Matte Artemis (20)And Daggers! All with Spots! Iridescent metallic rainbow oil-slick-on-s29037 Glass Daggers - 7 x 14 mm Necktie Beads - Hephaestus (15)a-puddle dots and dashes beat out a funky rhythm on a selection of beads daggers and neckties - which are sort of fattish daggers. Do not get me started on the symbolism of the dagger-shaped necktie as a standard part of the male business attire. Don't even go there - suffice it to say - when the 11th doctor of Doctor Who proclaims "bow ties are cool" - he may be onto a much bigger message. Anyway - we have these in cool colours, like this Hera's Peacock, and smokin' hot colours, like Hephaestus. (HA-fess-tus - the Greek god of fire and metal smithing. Hmmm - he'd feel right at home in our studio!) Or how about these soft blue daggers with triangles on them - flocks of doves, or just really cool pajamas?


s28991 Stone Beads - 30 x 60 mm Rectangle Pendant - Mediterrean Blue II Impression Jasper (1)In case all these literary references are making you s28993 Stone Beads - 55 mm Keystone Pendant - Green Impression Jasper (1)glassy-eyed - we have some stoney issues to cover. Stone Pendants, as a matter of fact! These big, big Impression Jasper pendants are big, s28997 Stone Beads - 55 mm Keystone Pendant - Seafoam Lace Agate (1)bold and decidedly beautiful! Or how about this Seafoam Lace Agate. Is that colour s29006 Stone - 70 mm Teardrop - Black Lace Agate (1)not sublime? We also have some one-of-a-kind pendants that are big, big, big. We have some more instore - but we put a few online because we know that for most of you - coming to the store in person maybe be something you want to do - but distance prevents.


s29017 Stone Beads - 10 mm Faceted Round - Angelite (strand)s29020 Stone Beads -  Mixed Hex and Donut - Angelite (strand)Oh, and do you remember a translucent, soft turquoise stone we had a while back - called Angelite? Well - we have MORE! So pretty!


Don't forget - this coming Monday is Victoria Day - so the bricks and mortar store will be closed, but as always, our faithful robot computers will be standing by, ready to take your online orders! In these parts - this upcoming weekend is THE big weekend for planting and gardening - it's the first weekend that is considered to be frost-free. Everything around here is running late this year. Well-watered, but late. So - if it's too cold and wet to be in the garden - well - you know your beads are waiting patiently for you to come and keep them company!

I stopped in at BeadFX today and saw the hex/donut Angelite stones. Gorgeous! I'm now trying to come up with a plan to justify another spending spree.
