Do you have the winter BLAHS!  Come surround yourself in beads, color and sparkle!
 
Gary has recently restocked all the loose bead bins with fabulous new beads ... goldstone millifiori, cloisonné, some limited Czech glass (WOW!)
 
I have personally restocked the loose gemstones with Rhodinite, Blue Chalcedony, Faceted Amethyst, Black Onyx, Fireworks Jasper ... just to name a few.
 
Some new colors of leather cord has arrived.  Dark Pine Green and a yummy metallic copper!
 
With lots of cold days inside, many of you have taken to organizing your beads.  Remember we have plastic bags for sale in many different sizes and plastic tubes with lids to keep all your loose beads tidy.  Need to get comfortable when you bead?  Try one of our new laptop bead boards.  (I had to get one!)
 
Don't forget to sign up for our 2 bracelet classes this Saturday.  Anna Draeger, Associate Editor from Bead & Button Magazine, will be our instructor!  She teaches the Crystal Kisses bracelet class from 11am-1pm and then the Woven Crystal Clusters Bracelet from 2-4pm.  Some customers sign up for both classes and spend the whole day beading with us!  Indulge yourself with a little "mini" bead retreat for the day.
 
We never rest here at Midwest!  There is always something new!  Come in during these chilly winter days and we will help you cook up some new jewelry designs.
