Jeannette Cook Workshop

Greetings Everyone!

Here we are half way through June already! I can't believe it! We just finished Christmas....didn't we?!? In April, Dona Anderson came, and we did two beautiful pieces during her workshop. I am so inspired by Dona's creativity. Thanks, Dona, for coming and sharing with us.

It's already time for another workshop! Jeannette Cook will be at Beads R Us July 15-16. She will be teaching Spanish Dancer earrings, and Pagoda Pendant. Both pieces are absolutely gorgeous, and we can't wait to learn! I must say, Jeannette inspires us all with her amazing collaboration of colors. We would be delighted if you'd join us for this workshop. If you need more information, just call or email the shop.

For those of you that do not live in Louisiana, it is H O T!! Of course, my daylilies are enjoying the sun, and I am enjoying their beauty, so a little heat won't kill me. We're also enjoying fresh cucumbers and tomatoes out of our little garden that our sweet granddaughters planted for us. Grace, 8, and Ella, 2, were totally in charge of the project. Their father took them to Wal-Mart to purchase a butterfly to stick right in the middle. It's just beautiful. And I can't tell you how precious the whole thing was for us to watch. They really did a good job, and planted each seed with tender loving care.

I must also say that summer inspires me to look for beads in all the colors I see around me. My friend Lynn commented the other day, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could get some of every bead manufactured?". I smiled and said, "I'm working on it!". I think a bead shop owner is the worse sort of bead addict out there. We seem to never be able to get enough, because how much is enough? If someone out there has the answer, please let me know!

For those of you that live closeby, don't forget to come in the shop and see all of the new selections we have in all the wonderful summer colors...and check out our weekly specials. Also, you may want to sign up for a class, or just come by and spend the afternoon with us! We'd love to have you!
