We have been working on bringing our fabulous selection of beads and chain to an online shopping environment for a few months now, and we are finally ready to announce our new Etsy store!   Some of you may already be familiar with Etsy.com as a venue for selling handmade, handcrafted items.  Several of our employees and customers have shops set up to sell their creations.  Etsy also makes it possible to sell just supplies…and we have gone live and actually made a few sales already.

Our initial focus will be getting our unique assortment of chain listed, and we will then start moving on to our Czech glass and gemstone beads.  Bear with us as we grow our online store and check back often for new listings.

You can access the web-store through a direct link set up on the top bar of our Theodorasbeads.com website, or you can access it directly at www.theodoras2007.etsy.com.  If you would like to purchase any of the items listed, you simply have to register as an Etsy user (takes just a moment or two) and off you go. 

This will allow all of our friends near and far to continue to be inspired and challenged in their jewelry designs and the art of adornment.

We have had some wonderful classes to kick off our fall season and we are working hard to add more wonderful opportunities to learn a new skill or brush up on something you learned a while ago, but need a refresher. 

We are also going to start offering classes that are “Project based” in addition to our “Skill based” classes…for example, we are offering a Rivoting Rivoli Earring Workshop on 11/22 where you will make a fabulous pair of earrings with Swarovski Rivoli Stones and learn a simple method of capturing these stones in a setting of seed beads.  Try it!

You have seen these beautiful brass findings in all the bead magazines and we are thrilled to be carrying this product line for your inspiration!  Be sure to stop by and see the samples we have made up using these products and to plan your next project.  We will be scheduling a product demonstration on a Saturday in late January as well. 

Judy Shapiro, along with several of our other employees are available and eager to help you brush up on your skills, serve as your creative muse, or offer one on one instruction on advanced projects. 

The fee for private instruction is $35.00 per hour, per person (with a 2 hour minimum) and we can generally match you with an able teacher within 5-7 day time period and as your schedule permits. 

Ask a beading buddy to join you and expand your creative horizons!  Call or email the store to book your appointment.
