In celebration of rain…

We have been snowed in here, and today is the first day I can go out into the world, and I am so happy to be

From the upstairs window in the shop

free! We got home from the Bellevue Bead Festival in the middle of the snow storm’s beginning, unloaded and everyone scrambled for home or shelter. Luckily for me Shelly came and stayed with me so we could keep the orders going out, (thanks to our intrepid mail-lady), so we ‘Kept Calm and Continued On’!

It’s sunny out now, still dripping from earlier rain, but comparatively warm. I am looking forward to putting Christmas Earring Kits together this afternoon and decided to offer a special code for blog followers!

Benefit for Andrew Thornton

We are having a benefit for Andrew Thornton, a well regarded artist, writer and designer. You may have met him at bead shows as he is often behind the counter at his sister’s booth Green Girl Studios. He was recently diagnosed with skin cancer and had a successful operation to remove it, but being an artist means no insurance and he has a mound of medical bills so, we want to help him a bit by holding this benefit.

Here is how it works: Make a purchase at www.bellomodo.com and put ANDREW in the code box during checkout. You will receive 10% for helping and Andrew will receive a matching 10%, get a little and give a little! The benefit ends Saturday at midnight PST, so take advantage of this opportunity to get a discount on whatever you want ( exception: anything already on sale will not be discounted but will be figured in Andrew’s check).

Maybe you need some supplies like findings, Artist Beads, Seed Beads, Swarovski Crystal ( don’t you need some of the very hot new Crystal Silver Night?), stringing supplies like Silk Cords, KO Thread, One-G Thread, Fireline, Ranger Inks Dabbers and Alcohol Inks, Copic Markers, Everything Tim Holtz, oh, the list goes on! And, there is Christmas too, the code works for Gift Certificates too!

While in NYC recently we cruised up and down 36th through 38th street between 5th and 7th, where the bead and trim shops are. So much to see, it was overwhelming. I took a bunch of cool inside video at several warehouses, but my video camera “went missing” so that footage is all gone. But my handy I-phone still had some shots on it that I can share.
