news flash

The Rings & Things 2009 Your Designs Rock Contest deadline has been extended!

In the current economy who could not use some additions to their stash? What better way to accomplish that than to win a fun competition, get some great exposure AND use products from a very nice company?

Rings & Things was the first email company I found for beading supplies many years ago. They continue to carry some items I can find nowhere else. I shop at various online retailers. Rio and the amazing FMG also get a good bite of my yearly income. I have in the last year ‘found’ Artbeads, Empyrean, 501Beads, and a few others. Some carry vintage and very limited selections. Being small does not always mean expensive.

I digress. The contest. I entered as soon as the doors opened! I made a piece specially for this competition. I have a second one, alas my camera and photo paraphernalia have been packed in preparation for my move.

It is easy. Take a picture. Fill the form. And enter. No stamps!

Waiting to see your creations…
Valerie

What a handy site! I'm glad you mentioned it. They have metal working tools there for the best price I've seen so far, all the ones I've been needing all in one place. Yay! :)

Another great site is africadirect.com/ - click 'beads' logo on main page.
While there's much expensive stuff you can find plenty of quite affordable beads if you take time to go thru all the pages. I've only ordered once and the photos exactly match what's advertised.

Hi Valerie thanks for the update. I have known Russ and Dee since the early 1990s. Long before there was a warehouse. LOL. Hope you move is going smoothly.

Hi Maria,
I just looked at AfricaDirect. Wow! Great items, and 'great' prices.
Thanks for the link.
