10-27-09

Just some quick updates this morning:

We have added a calendar view to the YaYa Beads Webpage. This will let you view scheduled classes, as well as other events at the shop, and also provide a reminder about days the shop will be closed for vacation, holidays, etc.

We are experiencing a few technical difficulties with the calendar view right now that make it difficult to read the name of the entire class scheduled on a particular day, but we hope to have these bugs ironed out shortly. The good news is, you can now click on the calendar and at least see the schedule, and you can always click back to the newsletter to get full details on any classes and scheduling questions.


Whether you are ready for it or not, the holidays are fast approaching!

YaYa Beads has lots of great holiday-themed beads and ideas - including these cute Swarovski Christmas trees and snowmen -

and these ceramic beads:


If you need a quick gift, we have earrings already made up for purchase, or you can buy the beads and make them yourself.




We have new gemstones, several new seed bead colors, and these new trailer hitch clasps:



These clasps are extremely secure, and can be opened and closed with one hand, which makes them great for bracelets! They are available in 2 sizes, and in gold, silver, copper, and antique copper.




And speaking of the calendar, the shop will be closed from Tuesday, 11/3, through Saturday, 11/7, and will reopen on Tuesday, 11/10.

We will hold the drawing for the October Stimulus prize at the close of business on 10/31, and I hope to get the winning number posted here by the next day - but the winner will need to wait until we reopen to claim the bracelet.

And our November Stimulus Prize will be one pair of the Swarovski snowman earrings - don't miss your chance to enter the drawing, starting 11/10, and running through the end of November.
