No more! I hope that Beads & Beyond turns out to be a great addition to the worldwide family of beaders. It’s going to be pretty pricey if you want to get it here in the States, but I’ll be interested to hear from anyone who’s had a chance to look at it. I’m hoping to find a copy in a local bookstore to check it out before I commit.

Kalmbach Publishing gave me a couple of extra copies to make available to YOU!! Isn’t that great? We’ve got another free giveaway going here, starting today and ending next Monday at noon, EST. What shall we do this time? I know, leave a comment with the name of your favorite source for beads or components! Please make it a source for vintage style materials if possible, and definitely leave the URL if it’s a place that has a website. If someone already took your idea, that’s ok, you can use it too. Just go a little further and let us know why you like them! Next week I will randomly pick two winners
