ABC Brings Out New Beads Every Sunday!

New Beads for Sunday, July 6, 2008

Coming out on Sunday, 7/6, will be the second half of our "New on the Market" Miyuki Size 15 Delicas!!! We will be putting out 30 colors in the DBS0310 to DBS1244 range, and 23 colors of Miyuki Size 15 Delica Hex-Cuts in the DBSC0001 to DBSC0108 range. Check out our web store for the full lineup of Size 15 Delicas!

The First Half of the "brand new on the market": Japanese Miyuki Size 15 Delicas!!!! We will bring out the first 68 colors that fall in the range of DBS0001 to DBS0307. We will bring out the 2nd half of these teeny-weeny little beautes next Sunday. If you want to be the first one on your block to have them, then don't wait--we were rationed on the quantity of each color that we could purchase and what we have won't last long! Oh, and our very talented Debra Smith beaded up an earring sample using size 11 Delicas, and then created the exact same earring, only using size 15 Delicas so that you could see the size difference--side by side! Be sure to check out these samples!

Back by HUGE popular demand are some restocks of the Swarovski 16x11mm Baroque Pendants that make perfect earrings and, were sold out quickly last time!! And what's even "Mo da Betta" is that we brought in 11 new custom coat colors including: crystal caladium, crystal citrine, crystal glacier blue, crystal sahara, crystal vitrail light, crystal vitrail medium, aqua glacier blue, autumn blaze, light topaz cathedral, aquamarine vitrail light, and light rose vitrail light.
We also got in some miscellaneous new Swarovski Buttons and Swarovski Starfish Pendants!!! Not a lot, but some great colors none the less! The starfish are 20mm in size, and we received in some 23mm and 27mm gorgeous buttons!! These are hard to get, so don't wait if these peak your interest!!!
We picked up some new Gemstone Pendants that are quite intriguing!! They are created by local artist, Bill Cross, and they are something you just have to see! He takes two different kinds of stone, cuts them into the same exact shape and then adheres them together, back to back. They also have a hole running through them so that you can put the pendant on a cord. For example, one of his pieces has Druzy Quartz on one side, and Lapis on the other. We only have six different pendants total, so be sure to come early to get first pickins!!
