| Greetings!
Hello, I can't believe it's snowing while I write this, but with Easter round the corner I've decided to stick with a spring colour theme! We've had a busy month with a bead fair & lots of new beads, April looks to be just as busy with a huge plastic bead shipment due next week & 4mm Gemcolour pearls due this week to start with! However we still have lots of Easter holiday ideas in this issue; ideal for keeping kids busy! Including our hugely popular shamballa bracelet kits (previewed at Bead last weekend), brand new Swarovski 2 hole column beads & Steph's fantastic retro beadweaving patterns.

Swarovski Column Beads
Launched as part of Swarovski's Spring/Summer 2013 innovations these elegant beads have 2 parallel holes making them ideal for bracelets and beaded watches as well as more complicated designs. They look stunning with Ivory pearls simply spacing them out. Click here to view.

Shamballa Bracelet Kits
We recently received a sample shipment of crystal pave (shamballa) beads which flew out of the shop in record time, so we decided to expand this range to include eight bead colours and wholesale prices. This inspired us to design 8 shamballa bracelet kits including a limited edition jubilee kit, view the full range here.

Retro Beadloom Patterns
Inspired by 80's arcade games Steph has designed two beadloom bookmark patterns. Both the Space Invaders and Pac-Man versions can also be used off loom with square stitch and can easily be adapted to make a bracelet. These will soon be available as kits too!
