I will be working on the website over the next couple of weeks. I have some new items that need to be added to the site, and I need to get some of the missing photographs online as well. I have many new jewelry and kit ideas on the back burner and look forward to getting to spend some time on that! We also need to do some evaluating and price adjusting to take in account some rise in operating costs, as well as material costs.
Website change - We've decided for ease of purchasing that we are changing ALL 20 - 22 - 24 GAUGE rings into half ounce increments. The only ring type that this will not affect is the Sterling and Goldfill. This change will allow our customers to purchase smaller quantities as needed. 18g and larger rings will continue to be full ounce increments.
Our Stainless Steel prices are the first to be adjusted. We produce the highest quality stainless steel jump rings available. We have some special processes that we use to get this top quality ring, and they are time and space consuming, so we have to raise our prices to reflect the time and effort that goes into them.
Shipping - It's that time of year again when Canada Post and Fed Ex raise their prices. Please remember that the amount the website quotes is an ESTIMATE. I know that some of the postal quotes go to $53 or $100 - this either an international shipping quote, which needs to be done by Shelley, or if you are in the USA and get the $100 quote, it means FedEx will be cheaper than postal... This happens on heavy boxes. Thank you for your patience while I make appropriate changes to the shipping modules as I get more familiar with the rate changes.
We will be attending the Fraser Valley Bead Show - Spring Show - March 12-14th 2010. I will be teaching a Half Persian class and one of our Customers - Uli Ross - Will be teaching a Stairway to Heaven Class!

Lots going on around here!! I'll keep adding details as I have more news!

Happy Holidays Everyone!
I hope you enjoyed your Christmas with Family, friends, and loved ones!! We had a rough one-- Spent Christmas Eve and Day at the ER with our baby -- He had Croup so bad he couldn't eat... It wasn't very fun, but he is slowly on the mend... We all have nasty colds due to lack of sleep with a sick babe, but it to will get better!!

We are working on a big weaving project that is soon due, so that has slowed ring stock rebuilding, but we are doing our best to get caught up :) It's an never ending cycle I guess.

DYLON WHYTE KITS ARE ON SALE NOW!!! 10% off!! This means a great deal on a tutorial and rings to go with it!

We have also decided to discontinue the twisted rings... They are too much hassle to make and are not ordered enough to justify keeping them! They have all been mixed into a huge rainbow mix Lot and are 10% off until sold out!! Get them while you can!!
Thanks!
Shelley

Hi Everyone!

Just a quick reminder to get any last minute orders in soon!! We are almost to the point where we won't be able to get things to you without overnight services which are quite costly.

A few plans in the Works!! Shelley will be attending the Spring Fraser Valley Bead Show March 12-14th in Coquitlam, BC. I will be teaching 2 classes... A byzantine type beginner, and a Persian type Advanced class!! If you are within driving distance I sure hope you come see me!!!

CLOSEOUT SPECIALS -- We have listed the floor sweepings (don't last long) and some damaged rings at a discount. Get 'em while they last!!
