The Bead Shop (Nottingham) Ltd Newsletter 10th Birthday Issue
January 2010
Bead Shop Birthday Greetings!
Welcome to our special birthday newsletter. I have decided to hijack the standard format this month as I am incredibly proud to announce that on the 20th of January we will have been trading for ten years.

Over the last 10 years and 3 shops things have changed a lot, both in the beading world as a whole and for us as a business. Our first shop was tiny (smaller than a lot of living rooms) with no storage space, running water or toilets! We have also gone from buying all our stock from other UK bead shops to sourcing most of our products directly from manufacturers all over the world. For more information on our history click here or come to our birthday party to see our special display.
You are invited to our Birthday Party!

Beaded Birthday CupcakeTo commemorate our 10th birthday we are having a party! Please come and join the celebrations from 5.30pm to 8.30pm on Wednesday 20th January. We will have refreshments, games and of course we will be finishing the evening with birthday cake.

Party Bag
It just wouldn't be a proper party without cake and party bags! Steph and I are working hard to get lots of exciting bits in each including a special handmade birthday pendant, Swarovski Xillion crystal kits, magazines, beads and more. No two bags will be the same either!
Local beads and pendants
Showcasing Unique Glass, Polymer Clay & Felt Items

local artists beads












We have stocked beautiful RedHotSal lampwork beads from Leicestershire artist Sally Carver for some time now; we recently added dichroic glass pendants made by myself (aptly named Hanmade Beads). After lots of excellent feedback we have decided to expand this range, the birthday event providing the ideal time to launch a new range. Look forward to brightly coloured felt beads, exciting Stampbord pendants & almost edible polymer clay beads.

I just wanted to end by thanking all of our customers for all of their custom and support over the last 10 years we literally couldn't have done it without you.
