The Showroom is Finished!

When we first planned on opening the front office as a showroom, it seemed simple enough. Every time we turned around, we were adding something to the plans, or completely changing plans. But, we have finally completed it, and we're pretty confident it was worth the effort (at least to us!)
So 4 4x8ft slatwalls, 1200 2 inch hooks, a couple of tables, some awesome artwork, a couple of great vintage finds, and we're ready for some visitors! There aren't too many bead shops near Cape Coral, so although were not really a "bead shop", were hoping we can help fill that void a little.

First, some of what you'll be seeing:

Artwork on the walls from:

The Mincing Mockingbird
The Black Apple
Amber Alexander
Berkley Illustration
Elsita
Yumiyumi
Chipmunk Cheeks


DIY craft desk plans from:

Indiefinable Creations


And now some pictures:

We had a visitor!

Heard some strange noises in the wall yesterday...


Found out we had a visitor


It was pretty scared, and weak from being in there.



We gave it a little water, a little popcorn, and a little time. After about fifteen minutes we went back in , and she was flying around the room. We got a towel thrown on her, took her outside, and away she went :)

Inspired from the garden

With the gorgeous sunshine and fresh breeze we were inspired to plant a garden in our backyard with the family this weekend! In it we are growing family favorites- strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, red bell pepper, mint and basil. Also, we picked out pretty flowers to surround our patio to bring in even more color. This weekends activities inspired these picks that are sure to give you some ideas to design! Find all beads and cabochons on our website www.mkbeads.com . Have a great spring or summer design? Send us a photo (e-mail sales@mkbeads.com)! We would love to have it in our upcoming customer showcase.
