Happy Holidays, Beady Friends!

This week is the start of our Twelve Days of Christmas. No, we're not offering French hens or leaping lords, but, we will have some great daily specials. See below for the details.
 
We are so looking forward to hosting the Modern Gypsy Glass trunk show this Saturday. Vickie is quite the glass artist. Then, of course, there will be refreshments. The staff spent a bit of time yesterday discussing various recipes - so we will have lots of goodies.
 
This is a good time of year for counting blessings, and mine are many. I've got my health back, I have many wonderful friends (who frequently masquerade as customers!), I have the world's best husband, the best bead shop (thanks to awesome coworkers), and the list goes on. What is often omitted from these lists is that we have decent housing, food, and so on. Too many people in the world do not.
 
Heifer International
 is a wonderful organization addressing that inequity. One of their success stories is Tererai Trent, a former goat shepherd in Zimbabwe, who now has her doctorate degree from Western Michigan. She got her bachelor's and master's degrees at OSU.  If you are looking for an organization worthy of a donation, please consider Heifer International. You can even make your donation a gift in someone's name. Now, come on, haven't you always wanted to give half of an ox to someone?  I got half an ox a couple years ago from my favorite aunt! But, no, you don't get to designate which half.
 
May all of you have a wonder holiday season and a fabulous 2010,
Teresa & The Elves

Vickie Warburton will be here, offering her lovely artisan-made lampwork beads. Stop by to find that perfect bead to complete a masterpiece - or to be the focal piece of a future project. To see more of Vickie's work, check out her website.
 
To make the day even more special, we're going to offer refreshments, door prizes, a fun class, demos, and more. Sort of an impromptu Open House to thank you, our "friend-customers," for your support throughout the year.
