Boutiques and Birthdays

Kami, who is now heading up our sales efforts, has registered Beads Just for You in a lovely boutique this coming Saturday, December 12th in the Rural and Warner area of Tempe. If you missed our last party, this is a great opportunity to see some of our pieces. We have some spectacular holiday designs that make great gifts or will adorn any outfit for the holiday party scene. Check out the info at the link below. And do visit our website http://beadsjustforyou.com/. There are many pictures of our pieces now posted, so you can preview (or purchase!) what you might find on Saturday.


In other, sillier news...this past Monday, we celebrated three belated birthdays for three friends in our Beads Just For You group: Amy T., Kathleen, and Kami.

Lynn orchestrated the bulk of the celebration making sure that we had food, cake, birthday hats and Edward and Jacob party plates (Yes, Edward and Jacob from the Twilight series...We might be closet die-hard fans or lunatics...or neither. No one amongst us has really figured this out yet, but it has continued to be a running joke).

Lynn's daughter Sarah made a scrumptious lunch of homemade vegetable soup and grilled cheese and ham sandwiches on sourdough bread. It was perfect for the rainy and cold Monday afternoon. Ami made a delicious chocolate (of course!) cake that we served on said alternating Edward and Jacob plates with mint chocolate chip or Neapolitan ice cream. Todd* brought his unsuspecting wife and our good British friend Val who is visiting (he obligingly brought them late, because the party planners were running late). Jayne set the table, cut some flowers, and used her good dishes that rarely emerge from the cabinets. Amy and Kami, two of the birthday girls, brought their smiles and goodwill. Lynn and then Val did the dishes while we had our meeting.

*The usually very prompt Todd killed time by making phone calls in a parking lot near home, feigning needed visits to the restroom once he got home, and engaging in aimless and unimportant endeavors while Kathleen expressed a bit of exasperation: "Todd, if we're going to go out to lunch we need to leave. I have my Beads meeting in an hour." Sorry Todd!

Kathleen is a founding mother, so she got to wear a plastic tiara.


Todd took this picture of the lot of us.






We express our holiday wishes to you all. And we hope to hear from you!
