BIG NEWS!!!

BIG NEWS!!!!

If you are looking for displays, gift boxes and other supplies for shows and craft fairs, we've just gotten set up as a distributor from one of the biggest importers of displays. We will have the necks, busts, ring stands, ring and jewelry boxes, plastic trays, tray liners (velvet pads and the compartment kind) and lots more.

Our first shipment arrived 2 weeks ago. We've got photos of just about everything on the website www.azbeaddepot.com. Click on the tabs to pages 2, 3, and 4 - you may call or e-mail us for prices. If you have a valid resale license, you may order at wholesale prices. There are some restrictions on wholesale quantities - things like gift boxes don't get a wholesale price break before a dozen.

We're starting with a basic selection of displays, trays, etc. but will be adding more shapes, colors, etc. as customers request them. If we don't have something you're looking for, let me know.

Contest Winners!


The winners in the "What I Did on My Summer Vacation Contest" have been announced! It was a close contest and only a few votes separated the winners. EVERY item was beautiful and I am glad once more that I had my customers decide on the winners because I would not have been able to choose.

First prize ($50 Gift Certificate) went to Janet Gallagher for her peyote stitched necklace. Janet said it took her a month to complete it.






Second prize ($25 Gift Certificate) went to Maureena Michelich for the Southwestern style hat band! Maureena and her husband Mickey do competitive Old West style shooting. Mickey will be showing off his hat band proudly at their next competition.










Third prize ($15 Gift Certificate) went to Joanne Pound for her brown toned necklace. Many customers were fascinated and wanted to know what stitch it was. I'll bet I could get enough people to make
up a class for Joanne to teach! Do you think I can convince her?










Honorable mentions go to Jill Held, Pam Hornak and Sandy Maxwell (in no particular order). EVERYONE did a fine job and the donations to the Breast Cancer 3 Day are greatly appreciated!

The Swarovski Christmas Tree earrings were won by JoAnne Fiorenza!

Watch the website or this page for announcement of next year's version of "What I Did on My Summer Vacation". I'm tweaking the rules and hope to see even more entries next fall!
