Handmade beaded bookmarks & more!

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Hi, all! In case you don’t read my personal blog, I’ve been short on reviews in the last week or so largely because I’ve been working furiously to get our online crafts store up-and-running. I love doing beading projects, and now we’re selling them. Take a look—not only do we have jewelry as well as trinket bags, but I have the first couple of beaded bookmarks up! I have a bunch more items to photograph and put up over time, so keep coming back! Here’s a little widget to show you a few of the items:
