Good News!

It is a rainy day, but we are so happy at Caravan Beads because we just receive a big shipment of The POUR-ON. Yes the resin that you need to create nice pendants with your pictures, flowers, etc. The class on Saturday is almost full, but we will have more dates for this popular class.

By the way if you want to make any of these pendants, just come in and we will show you what you need to get. Be prepared to enter soon in our Resin Pendant Contest.

We are still working on all the details and we will let you know.

Thanks everybody and keep creating more master pieces!

Where is our Resin?!!!

Ok, we have this fun new product I've been telling you about and we don't have the resin. Here's the story...I ordered 20 boxes over a week ago. I expected it last Wednesday. The rep called us on Thursday to say it had been shipped on Wednesday so we should have it by Friday. Still no package on Friday so we called and found out it had been shipped to the wrong zipcode, returned to the company, and shipped out again Friday. So no resin until next week. Needless to say, I am a bit po'd. I tried, guys! Just hang in there. I'm so sorry for all of this mess. We are restocking the store again. Have some new semi precious, sterling findings, and delicas. I hope you have looked on the website at our new classes. There are some really nice ones this month.

Have a great Labor Day!

We are not running the free class this Saturday and Sunday, because of the holiday weekend.
We will be closed only on Monday September 1.
I am so happy about our new classes. Some of them are great beadweaving projects. If you feel like trying them, let me tell you that it is not that hard. There are also some new wire workshops which are very interesting. The polymer clay classes sound like a lot of fun. To tell you the truth my favorite class is making the resin pendants.
Crissy, Diana and I made some new pendants in the store. It was so much fun. Charleene explained us the process of making them.
I wish you can try them too.
Happy Holidays!
