Beadalotta News!

It's a fresh, new Month..ok, maybe not so fresh! Are you melting yet with the heat?

We have only 3 Saturday classes to offer this month. We will be closed July 3 for the 4th of July Weekend! We will be busy making Art charms--more on that in a bit. We will also be closed on Saturday, June 26--off to a family wedding (no, it's not Michelle).

New Goodies from the Bead & Button Show are starting to hit the wall and tables. We have our first batch of fun wood, mother of pearl and stone! We hope to have more out--stone, New TierraCast (base metal) clasps/findings and Chinese crystal out by the end of the week (Michelle is taking off from her other job to work fiendishly on getting most of these goodies out by the end of the week)!

July 10 is the Fond du Lac Sidewalk Sale. We will not be out on the street but we will be doing demonstrations throughout the day...right now the demos are top secret, but involve wire and beads! Also that day, with a $15 purchase, you will receive a free Art Charm made by Pat & Michelle. Use these as a charm, a pendant, a key chain, etc.

Don't forget to check out Life in the Bead Lane to see what projects are happening outside of the shop!

Customer Choice Classes (Tuesdays & Fridays) are filling up fast! Book your class today. Check the Calendar to see what classes are booked and what dates are still available.

Join us June 25 for our Beat the Bikes Sale!

Stay Cool With Us!

Sit and bead awhile--there are 10 spots available on Friday for an open beading session and it's on a first come basis...bring in a project or start a new one. Bring some lunch and take advantage of our air conditioning! This is not a class. We will answer any questions you may have if you are stuck as time allows.
