Hello from Reed's Beads 

Greetings!
 
Hello again!  The Dakota Stones Trunk Show is under way and will end Sat., 05/22/10.  We've received an additional supply of bronze-infused purple turquoise, including shapes we didn't have when the show began Friday.
 
We now have pear-shaped pendants, 12mm squares, 12mm coins, chips, 8mm rounds, 6mm rondelles, and 10x14 ovals, in addition to 10x12 rice, 18x25 rectangle, ladder pendant, 4mm round, 6mm round, and 6mm heishi shapes.  See the first photo below.
 
Below are pictures and a list of the stones we've received.  We have a bargain bucket of fun closeout strands of beads that are $8.50 each or 3 for $20.  See the 3rd photo below. There are also some large-holed beads that would be great for leather, hemp, silk cords, suede, etc.

If you are unfamiliar with trunk shows, we have them when we sell products for a bead vendor or artist.  The vendors usually send us stock and we sell it for them. When the trunk show ends, the merchandise is returned to the vendor.  Because the merchandise is not our own, we cannot extend any discounts on it.
Special Hours for Ambler Auto Show Sun., 05/16/10
We will be open this Sunday, May 16th for the Ambler Auto Show from 12 - 4PM.  It looks like Sunday's weather is going to be great.  If so, we may be offering demos outside. If you're in town, please stop by and see us!   
For more info on the auto show or to register your car, see the Ambler Main Street website. 
New Stock at Reed's Beads 
For the past week we have been busy prepping new inventory for the store.  In the coming week we will have new and restocked freshwater pearl, semi-precious stone, and czech glass strands, as well as bali silver beads and findings, sterling silver letter cubes (finally!), and seed beads.  Below is a pic of the new freshwater pearl strands we just put out for sale. 
 
I will update the blog on our website with photos as we put new things out for sale, or just come and see them for yourself.
