This week... the first week of November!

There is always something going on at A BEAD BOUTIQUE; however, it seems that we have even more than usual "going on" in the shop! First, we have sold lots of jewelry... more than usual, and I am working hard to replace or finish jewelry! Love it! We are getting ready for a class this Saturday "PMC BEADS" with Paula McDowell! Everyone looks forward to Paula's visits!

THE BEAD MOBILE COMETH! Four words we all love to hear! Friday night we have a birthday party for Rachel and a few of her friends! Saturday night I have a piece of jewelry to be auctioned during VAN GOGH, a fund raiser for River Oaks. Ted also has a painting that he and Kelly Bledsoe worked on. I always look forward to this event! Sunday we join other businesses across CenLa in our CHRISTMAS OPEN HOUSE. We will feature several of our customers, who will be selling jewelry and different items that they have made! Join us Sunday afternoon 1 - 5 p.m. I love seeing what my customers do with beads purchased from A BEAD BOUTIQUE... and I look forward to seeing the jewelry this Sunday afternoon. I love featuring our customers' and their jewelry! Yesterday I was treated to a "sneak peak" of Debra Hertz's fall show coming up next week. Over and over she said, "I got these beads from you!" Debra adds beautiful antique beads from around the globe. The results are beautiful! Of course I had favorites from her jewelry... and to her surprise, I liked one with a "horn" and multi-colored whitehearts! Great job, Debra!

BOX TRUNK SHOW ARRIVING TODAY! I am expecting a box trunk show from south Florida today. Eva promises some great gemstones and pendants! I'll get the show out as soon as possible!

DESIGNATHON next Tuesday, 11/16/10... it's not too late to donate a piece of jewelry for this fund raiser for the Central Louisiana Food Bank. Call or stop by the shop for more information.
