5 April 2012   Finally!  We've added new items and have more to follow within the next couple of days in our new 'Ready To Ship' category.   As you've probably already guessed (you are clever), all items found on this page are one-of-a-kind and ready to be sent to your door promptly.   Supplies are limited, so don't delay!         8 February 2012 Thanks to all that took advantage of our January sale.  The last of the orders are being fired.  The response was wonderful and has kept us quite busy.  So busy, that we haven't accumulated quite as many new designs to post to the site.  So we ask that you remain patient and promise to pull down the old and get the new designs up as soon as possible.  We'll send out a newsletter when they're up. We've decided to honor our January sale prices listed, until we get caught up with new designs, so please feel free to shop until then. We're also very happy to be offering our lampwork headpins.  These headpins will be proudly featured in the March issue of Bead Trends Magazine and the summer issue of Stringing.  They come affixed to a four inch copper wire and can be used in nearly any application. We're currently offering them in lots of 8, 16 and 32! 7 January 2012 New Lampwork Offerings hit Etsy Here's a sneak peak at some of the items currently available on etsy. 30 Hearts are back 'Never Better' December 2011 All Made To Order Lampwork On Sale In the coming weeks, we're retiring all of our Made To Order lampwork designs found here on the site.  These lovelies will no longer be available for order, but there's no need to cry, we'll have plenty of new offerings for your viewing and beading pleasure.  In fact, you should be smiling!
