Welcome to Our
New Website!
Finally, our website has come to life! It's taken a while,
for sure, but we hope that you will find it interesting and check it
often to get the latest "news" on
class schedules,
store specials and STUFF! (Each entry will appear at the
top of this page and all previous entries can be viewed by
scrolling down.)
We are very excited to be in our new building now! Actually, I
guess it's not really "new" anymore, but many people are stopping in
to see us for the first time, so it's "new" to them! We have
been working hard, adding new products all the time,
and are excited that our "learning center" is up and running, too!
We've had some great classes and have lots more planned! We
hope that you will take a look at our schedule and
join us soon!
NEW B.A.M.
on Wednesdays 2:00-5:00 pm
Do you know what ailment a lot of beaders have in common? Well,
it's called "beadaholic-ism!"
Here at Anacortes Beads, we have a CURE for that!
It's called B.A.M.
(Beadaholics Anonymous Meeting)!
We meet on Wednesdays, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm! We have decided
to CELEBRATE our addiction by sharing it! We would love for
you to join us . . . just bring a project to work on, or pick up
some materials here at the store! It's a great way to meet
other beaders, share ideas and create camaraderie!
(Please note: B.A.M. replaces Ladies' Night which
was previously scheduled for Wednesday evenings.)
TURQUOISE
Recently,
we were able to get a really good price on turquoise beads, so we
would like to share those prices with you! (Our prices are LESS
THAN WHOLESALE!) Our sale starts July 1, so we hope you will
come early in the month for the best selection!
Turquoise Healing Properties
Turquoise is believed by many to be a stone of communication!
Healers often recommend it to people who have a fear of public
speaking. It is believed that a speaker can become more eloquent,
loving, creative and honest by wearing turquoise. It is also
believed that turquoise improves the mental state overall by
creating serenity, creativity, empathy, positive thinking,
sensitivity, intuition, happiness, and wisdom, all
of which result in a calmer state that leads to greater
self-realization. Turquoise is also considered to be a stone of
friendship. It is said to open up the connections between friends,
allowing love to flow.
That's it for today! But I'll be adding more soon! Be sure to
check back!
