We were grateful today for strong bead boys to lug the heavy restock boxes up the stairs! We have had a heap of tools come in this week after our last few seed bead focused orders. Nia really wanted to get more seed beads (always haha) but Team Bead came to your rescue and reminded her that the tool walls had got very sad and that the stock $$ needed to go there!

The great thing about charts and diagrams is that even when all the instructions are in a different language you can pretty easily work it out! Google translate can also be your friend. Learn another language while beading!

We sent out lots of charms today, this copper selection was my favourite!

Genevieve is working hard unpacking the Brazilian cord restock, filling the shelves again. 39 gorgeous colours, available by the meter or the roll. When we first moved to our Stratford premises, this girl was a few months away from being born (and we were yet to stock this cord đŸ˜‚ ), how the years fly by!

Another sentimental set of vintage pearls adjusted. From a super short 3 strand choker to a 2 strand necklace that is much more wearable for my 83 year old customer :)

Strung on soft flex, reusing the original clasp.

An early Thursday start for Nia, who enjoyed a very quiet shop and a cuppa while changing this broken 2 strand necklace into a lovely single strand necklace, perfect for slipping over the head while still getting to enjoy the special vintage clasp. A great way to start the day!
