Christmas in July

 
 
If you are like me, there’s something about the hot and hazy July weather that inspires your creative side! I suppose it’s the combination of wanting to keep occupied when it’s just too muggy to move, and also the realization that if I’m going to make Christmas gifts – an early start is necessary!
 
The retail world seems to be on the same page, as you’ll notice that most craft and sewing supply shops are usually brimming with new inventory in July. Here at Bead Happily Ever After, we have just the bead to spark your summer design sessions. Whether you’re making a pair of earrings to match your favorite sundress, or designing a very special necklace to tuck into Mom’s Christmas stocking – we have lots of beautiful beads to inspire you. 
                                               

It’s Genetic . . .

 
Since the dawn of civilization, women (and men) have had a passion for jewelry.
 
Wilma Flintstone knew a good thing when she saw it, so she grabbed some pretty rocks and strung them for a necklace! And after the unveiling of King Tut’s tomb, the whole world discovered that the pharaohs were not at all hesitant to adorn themselves with beautiful bling.

Today, that love of jewelry, along with the increasing array of available supplies, has inspired many of us to design our own. It’s easier than ever to gather a bunch of fabulous beads and a few findings to create something gorgeous!

We hope you enjoy spending a little time perusing our web shop. You’ll find an ever-changing assortment of vintage beads in both lucite and glass. We also carry a selection of Swarovski crystals, Czech beads, and other high-quality contemporary beads. 
If it sparkles or shines or is simply beautiful, we want to bring it to you.
 
Our fondest wish is that you will . . .
 
      bead happily ever after!
