Greetings from The Raven's Niche!

This week I will only be open by appointment only. I am in the process of moving things around in the shop to accommodate a new shelving unit. This new one should do the job that the old one was tired of doing.

Change of plans. With it being a beautiful day outside, I am going to have the shop open today as I sort through things. I have moved some items outside and the shop area is accessible. Stop by and look at what I have. Discounts will be granted today!

Due to a small disaster I found when I came into my shop today, the shop opening will be closed today.

I had 4 shelves filled with beads and beading supplies come down and I need to figure out a plan B for how and where I will store some of my beads and tools. Please say a prayer for me.

We have some new items. Stop by if you are looking for a gift, jewelry to go with an outfit for Homecoming or a wedding, or a treat for yourself.

I also repair and restring broken necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rosaries, and prayer beads.

Tonight the Ultimate Girl's Night Out Vendor and Craft Market is at the Fire Bar from 6 - 9 p.m. I'm set up against the back wall under the large screen TV. Stop on out to see the wonderful selections of crafts and products.
