New, Now, Next

New, Now, Next

It’s been a busy month!

In response to interest, I am adding the option of Shrinkets brand or Grafix brand shrink plastic to most of the precut listings, as well as options for pre-made shrink beads! These options have always been there by request, but now I am learning to put this feature right in the listing. I appreciate your patience as this site is a work in progress! My aim is to make it not only attractive but easy to use.

Other NEWs:

The Sparkling Heart Shrinket precut sets are now available in pink!

Sets of Circles have been added, as well. Simple stripes bring these to life.

There’s also a new colorway in the earring design packs. Black and white looks so fresh and just delightful with colorful Shrinkets. They combine Shrinkets precuts with vintage and new components so that you can put together your own earring designs.

The previous packs sold out fairly quickly, and quantities are limited. Yes, premade Shrinkets are an option!

I realize it can be frustrating to find things sold out. So many of these are vintage or one of a kind that it just can’t be helped. I’m not really in a position to do big wholesale buys, either. I appreciate your patience, and I’m constantly on the lookout for good deals on interesting items, so if you miss one kit don’t despair, there will be another one around the corner!

Speaking of which, that’s what’s happening right now. The current tassel kits have basically run their courses, and I’m in the process of creating new styles and colorways. I’m also digging deep into my stash to bring out more new and vintage beads a la carte.

Next week I’m so excited, new new materials are arriving. These are some things I have never used before and I can’t wait to see what they’re like, and how we will enjoy using them. There is potential for simple projects of great elegance, perfect for holiday gifts, which we will all be starting on soon!

And since this year’s travel to France is decidedly unlikely, I have reached out to the connections I made last year in order to open online accounts with some of the top vintage sellers there. They are mostly on vacation -Les Conges d’Ete- for the month of August, but there is one package on its way already!

New Shrinkets! New beads!

New Shrinkets! New beads!
