Bead Inspirations

For those of you who are in one of our three Facebook groups, you know how there's little to no participation in all of them.
Well, we've just created a new one (literally 10 minutes ago) that will have completely different rules!
Come join us and help our community grow!

No one seems to want to come in on Wednesdays.
Would a crazy one day sale entice you to drop by?
How about a Wishlist Wednesday, where YOU get to suggest what goes on sale!
Drop a comment below on what items you would like to see go on sale.
Make it as specific as possible. I'm talking like "flat nose pliers" or "black 11/0 seed beads".
Two customer picks and an employee pick will go on sale for ONLY that Wednesday!
Don't miss out!
