You Better Vote & Giveaway...

Hi all, hope you are all doing well & staying happy. Sending some love to my friends on the East Coast. Sorry for the long absence, I have been melting glass and listing beads in my shop, but not sending out emails about it. I have also been really busy getting ready for our 4th Annual Holiday Boutique, once a year Grace, Frank & I, invite all of the local Crafting Artists we know to come by the studio & set up a table with their lovely wears for our Holiday Boutique which is on Sat. Nov 10th from 12 to 6pm at Graceful Customs in Gilroy, California. Let me know if you want to attend as a vendor or need the address. There will be all kinds of handmade goodies on sale from Grace's yummy handmade soaps to Beth's lovely jewelry...there will be refreshments and a drawing for prizes every hour. Also a few of our in house teachers, like Carmen Martinez & myself will be doing some demos.

VOTE: Please get out there and vote on Tuesday, I don't want to go through the same story every time there is an election, about how my family came here from Iran 33 years ago. But I just want to say that VOTING is a Right we Americans have, where many in other parts of the world do not have this Right. I almost feel like we should not only celebrate our country & our rights by voting & staying in charge of our system of government but also in a way honor this right & those who do not have it by making sure we vote.
Giveaway: Last blog posts winner was Roni of Bead by Roni, thanks everyone. For this blog post giveaway I am giving a way one item that the winner likes from my shop. A set or a focal or a tool or any one item of their choice. Please enter to be in the drawing by making a comment on this blog post about: What are your favorite colors & or your plans for your spring collections?

Thanks so much for stopping by, Life is good...
