Classes on hold another week or so	Can't Post

Hi,

We've had some major leaks in the roof, and until we get them sealed up, we've had to move things around, and space is more at a premium now (we have a lot of paper-based collectibles that need to be protected from the leaks).

Until we get another thaw, and they can check out what is going on, we are on hold. The bad leak is between both store rooms, so we lost double. Amazing how that works!

But, if there is something you want to learn, we have made more space up front, where we will be putting in the workstations, which can be used for small classes temporarily -- 1 to 3 or perhaps 4 people.

We are always happy to show you how to do something, if we are not busy. Classes allow us to make sure we have coverage, and that time is devoted to the topic without major interuption. We can arrange classes on many topics on short order, and for reasonable cost. We can even arrange home parties or in-house or club meeting instruction.

Until the snow has a chance to melt, and the roof dry out, we can't get it fixed up. Fingers crossed for some progress next week.

Once we can start using our stock room again, we'll be able to post a class schedule.

We are stocking a larger variety of both sterling and gold-filled wires. They are becoming popular items. With a bit more popularity, I might be able to get the prices down further, by moving into the next rate class for the precious metals.

We have a nice variety of new items in gemstones, seed beads, trade beads and more. We got some nice deals on crow beads recently, and some other glass beads, and have some Toho Japanese seed beads in sizes 11, 6 and E available at nice discounts. These beads are at least the same quality as Miyuki, and have a slightly larger hole, which means they can be a better choice for loom work and weaving.

We also have a good selection of gemstone donuts in, in a variety of materials from simple agates to Lapis and yellow turquoise. Prices vary by size and quality, but they've been going fast.

We are expecting a seed bead shipment Tuesday, along with some Delica's in crystal, silver and gold lined.

Sterling wire and some unique gemstone beads should also arrive Tuesday.

Shipments are usually available after 4pm, later depending on the weather.
