Hello again,

After a month of trading in Rundle Street, we are finally settling in.
Lots of you have visited us, and seem to like the new location. Thank you!
You've no idea how it makes us feel to see your smiling faces after so much disruption... and yes, the odd customer has told us our new position is no longer convenient, but they have come to tell us, which says something!

The winter weather this week has kept people off the street, but nothing stops a beader from buying beads and beading!

Our new gemstones and pearls are all on display.
The Swarovskis sparkle nicely in their new cabinet, and the glass beads are much easier to see on the wall.

We have all of our bead kits out on display again, and the worktable is functional.... room for you (and the children) to bead.

Don't forget, children love beading as much as you do... we have plenty of kits for kids!

Gradually we are finding everything without turning in too many circles, and the atmosphere in the shop is very pleasant... we even have music!

We have set out a craft bead section, so those of you who like making decorations etc, the faceted, rice and pearl beads are out in force.

Since we have opened the new shop, we have been creating lots of beautiful unique jewellery. We have already learned that many shoppers in Rundle Street like to buy ready made jewellery, not make their own.

Yesterday I created a mouth-watering bracelet for a bride: Swarovski (crystal and pearl), with freshwater pearls. She really loves it.
We all enjoy such commissions, so don't be shy about asking us to create wedding or formal, or any jewellery for you. It is not work for us, it is a pleasure. Though we have to charge you!

We have been upgrading the website, so take a look to check it out.

Bookmark us, and it only takes a second!

Online News:Every new internet order of 5 or more kits receives another kit free. We'll take note of which beading kits you are ordering, and send another appropriate kit.

INTERNET ORDERS ONLY!

I'm away for a short break & a buying trip, so I'll keep in touch with my news ( as well as shop news, of course) while I'm away.

I'll be working on the Cabeadle website, and a new website, as I travel, so don't imagine I'll be laying on a beach! It's just a case of "a change is as good as a rest", while catching up with my daughter and old friends overseas.
And visiting every bead shop I can...
And looking for new beads...
And seeking out ideas to benefit all of us.

That's all from me for now.
