Yard Sale at Ju Ju Beads

It's yard sale season at Ju Ju Beads! I just returned from a nice break with my family visiting the coast of Maine and am cleaning house at Ju Ju Beads. We are having a yard sale with beads, gift items, holiday theme items and more on the patio starting tomorrow, June 25th. Come by soon for the best selection. Don't forget, we are also open friday nights throughout the summer for the street faire from 6-9 if you can't make it during the day.

U Make It Class:
TRAVEL NECKLACE
Saturday July 2nd
11-12 o'clock
$25

We are making a travel necklace to take on your summer vacation. I have been travelling with this setup for the last several years and it really simplifies my life on the road. Pick your choice of an organza or leather choker (so many colors to choose from!) and then select 3 different assorted bead combinations to create 3 interchangeable pendants to pack in your suitcase, one dressy, one funky, one sporty--you get the idea, all can switch off and on the same necklace. This is a simple wire wrapping class, fine even for a beginner. Call the store to register 303-666-9500. Class size is limited.

Happy summer beading,
See you soon,
Denise Emma

Summer at Ju Ju Beads

Yippee!!!!! It's my favorite time of year, hot and sunny and LONG days full of fun.

If you haven't been to Ju Ju Beads lately, we have so much in store for summer. I have been making EVERYTHING out of feathers lateley. Just bought a ring neck pheasant pelt, full of gorgeous feathers in all kinds of colors. Wait til you see the drippy, lightweight, elegant earrings that have come from this inspiring new material. Also, it is my personal mission to convert everyone back to the beauty of GOLD. I have always prefered gold, and it looks so much better with a summer tan. Lots of beautiful design ideas and materials in gold fill and plate for you to delight in.

Here's what's new in stock and HOT!
Beach glass necklaces and earrings
Laser cut pendants for earrings or necklaces, statement pieces without the bulk
Feathers of all kinds for hair extensions and jewelry
Beautiful new chain for lightweight summer designs

Class-June 11th, crochet with wire bracelet 1-3pm, $35 all inclusive

Gorgeous Gemstones

Hooray! My last shipment from my Tucson buying trip arrived yesterday. This was sent snail mail since it was too valuable to pack in my suitcase and check with the airlines. Can't risk losing this! All incredible gemstones, briolettes, rondelles, gorgeous stones with incredible color and clarity. Best treat of all was a SPLURGE on vermeil chain with teeny, tiny faceted mixed gemstones on each individual chain link. It is breathtaking. Also, a new feature of the store is a pile of 16" strands, all natural stones that are only $7/strand! Great price, great selection. See you soon, and don't forget Ju Ju Beads is moving March 1st to it's new location at 901 Front Street, Suite 130 with parking out front, air conditioning in the summer (yipee) and a full size classroom!

Have a great day,
Denise at Ju Ju Beads

Tucson Bead Show News

Just got back from a whirlwind trip through Tucson's Bead Show last night and have piles and piles of new, gorgeous goodies.

Best of show find was PEARLS DRILLED WITH LARGE HOLES FOR LEATHER!!!!! FINALLY! Lots of beautiful colors, all 1.50 each or $24 for a strand. Also, a cool knotting gizmo to make hemp/leather/cord designs without using cones and caps to finish it off--super cool and makes it so easy and foolproof. Most beautiful peruvian opals I have ever seen--I mistook it for larimar from the Carribean. Only 10 strands of this-I bought everything they had. Special splurge is 14k gold chain with miniature semiprecious stones dangling every link-all mixed stones, so delicate-you'll want some too! All the other one-of-a-kind stuff you expect and more coming in the mail--my suitcase was full and I couldn't cram any more into it. What fun! See you soon.

Also, one of our fellow beaders, Kinga from Boulder, has entered a phenomenal necklace in a bead challenge on etsy. Check it out and vote for her piece-it is beautiful. Here's the link:

My piece is #40.
The voting ends on the 15th.

Happy Beading,
Denise at Ju Ju Beads
