New Office

Awhile back ago we moved our business into a new office/warehouse location in Cape Coral, FL. Our bead collection grew so much, that it had to be done!

We have been getting numerous requests from local customers to come and view our beads in person. Unfortunately because we are in a warehouse/office location we are not currently set up for this. Due to the requests, we decided to set up our front office as a small showroom! So our local customers can view items in person. This has been really exciting and we look forward to opening it! We plan on doing this by appointment only, just like we offer our local pick up on our website - www.mkbeads.com .

Our current project is a DIY craft table, we used this wonderful tutorial and modified it to fit our needs-
DIY Craft Desk Revisited

I will post photos when we are done!

Waiting for warmer days!

Even though we are located in the normally warm and sunny Florida, it has been unusually cold this winter! With that in mind, I am looking forward to spring and lots of color (and warmer weather!). These great new 18mm dahlia colors hit the spot! They are slightly translucent and remind me of hard fruity candy. Super cute!
