 Beading Tip
 Tackle Box Storage Tip

I've found the best storage devices for beads and tools is a fishing tackle box. They make them in all sizes with compartments for all different sized tools and it really works great. Especially if you find one that specializes in carrying lures and the such.

This month's tip comes to us from Carol Serbin- owner/designer of Carol's Garden of Beadin' Custom Creations E. Stroudsburg, PA

 Steps for Establishing Terms of Sale (Service)

Whether you are selling directly to consumers, on consignment, or to retail boutiques, establishing your business' Terms of Sale is crucial in order to protect yourself. Unfortunately, there are always individuals who will push the limits to take advantage of you unfairly. These incidents can cost you money, time, your reputation and even your business. Establishing terms not only protect your business, but they protect your customers as well. They clearly state what your customer can expect from you.

 Bead Project Tutorial
 Dripping with Glamour


Whether vintage or new, 12mm crystals demand attention. Their many facets shimmer and shine and often come in finishes, such as Aurora Borealis (AB), that reflect even more light. Though you may not find an exact contemporary match for vintage crystals, select your cubes and bicones to closely coordinate with the main crystal color for a monochromatic masterpiece.

We are in desperate need of more tutorial writers. Any one interested please don't hesitate to contact us. For more information see last September's article.

 Fashion Forecast
 Fall 2007

Update your wardrobe with a few fantastic pieces - a swingy jacket with three-quarter-length sleeves, a bold geometric-print dress, a rich sweater vest or sweater dress, or menswear inspired shirts or wide-leg trousers. Gray is a prominent color this fall; try it in metallic heather or charcoal. And plaids are everywhere - coats, tights, dresses, shoes, handbags, and caps. In footwear, the menswear influence is prominent: oxfords and spectator pumps are key shoe and boot options. Finally, the biker look is huge. If you're not into leather skirts and jackets, try an accessory like a studded bag or cuff.
