I can feel it! Christmas is in the air! The snowflakes fluttering to earth is an undisputable sign. The town is decking the halls in anticipation of the Father Christmas Festival this weekend. All the elves are out hanging lights to sparkle up the place. The town usually buzzes with excitement and we look forward to seeing Father Christmas walking the streets, popping into the shops to say Ho Ho Ho Hello! I’ve been a very good girl this year so I expect Santa will be extra nice to me…..
I haven’t decorated the store yet but tomorrow I can see Encompassing Designs regaled in red and white spendour. I’m feeling a bit festive today although yesterday I was down for the count. Sunday another blasted cold infiltrated my body and took me down hard. Monday I was a lather of perspiration, achy head and sneezing to beat the band. Today, I feel much better, almost fully alive, but I’m suffering a residual headache. The main thing is that I’m up and functional. Any time this side of six feet under is a plus.
So Sandy Bruce was in on Saturday to show me her lovely cone Santa’s and that reminded me I need to design and hook Mrs. Cone Claus to match her fella I posted last year. So stay tuned for later in the week, I’ll do it up right away.
In the meantime I’m immersed in my bead collection up to my ankles. We're trying to price them and set up displays for this weekend’s bead sale. I have more beads than most trade shows, at least in the variety category. I’m a bit sad as I bag them up, being a fruitcake that gets attached to inanimate objects. So much pretty! They sparkle and feel so soft in my hands, I keep putting ones aside for myself, even though deep down I know I’ll never make serious bling again. My new minimalist nature is kicking my procrastinating, head in the clouds, arse so I put them back on the for sale pile. I don’t have time for all the things I really want to do like hook, write and sail, the beads have to die!!!!!!
I’m selling them in the hopes that someone else will love them and make good use of their potential. Splash out in one-of-a-kind bling that will mesmerize their friends. Anyway, it will be interesting to see how all my beads are received. Hopefully people show up.
I’m only asking for the price I paid or marking them down a bit and there is no tax charged as it isn’t going through my business. I ordered one of the Squares to be able to process credit cards on my IPhone and of course cash is always nice. I’ve created a FB page and have posted a few pictures on there and will do a bit more before the day. Whatever doesn’t sell during the sale will be posted on the FB page and hopefully sell over time. If you would like to see the FB page called BEADS! BEADS! BEADS! click this link: https://www.facebook.com/beadsfantastic/
My husband is also going to be selling part of his private collection of Crystals and Fossils that day. Provenance will be available on request.
So back to pricing beads. See you Saturday! “Bead here or bead square!”

Sandy put bells on the tops of her Cone Santas. Clever and I've already been to the dollar store to score a bunch pf bells to do that on mine! I always love how folks come up with special ideas to pump up the jam!
