New Cousin's Beads!

There are two great new bead lines that have just arrived from Cousins - you can find them both on the endcap at the front of Aisle 20:

Beautifully designed inside and out, our Meanings Collection features ornate window pendants that open up to reveal hidden treasures in verse.

Beautifully colored little word charms compliment the pendants or work well alone as diminutive accents.

Packaged for a hands on experience, you will love looking through the delicate metalwork and then delight in being able to easily flip open the pendants to find the word of wisdom underneath.

Cheerful and inspiring, our meaningful collection creates lovely jewelry to please the eyes and uplift the spirit.

Beyond just basic craft beads, the Bits & Pieces® Program is a great assortment of everyday essentials and unique finds.

These value sized packages include: wooden beads, plastic buttons, shell mixes, pearls, acrylic mixes and glass mixes. Great color blends have been professionally coordinated to make quick choices easy!

Bits & Pieces® glass beads include an excellent array of traditional seed beads, E-beads and bugle beads.

All of the essential colors are covered as well as beautiful silver-lined and metallic mixes. Conveniently packaged in reusable blisters, this display is a great resource for jewelry makers as well as other craft designers.

Vases, Flowers, Ribbon & Cake Decorating

Check out these new items in the Floral Department:

Decorative Vases
We have a huge section of vases in Aisle 3 - and more are arriving all the time! They are available in many sizes & colors. A new shipment arrives every couple of weeks - so stop in often - there are always new styles to choose from!
Floral Stems
Look at these beautiful new flowers that just arrived - they look so real that you'll have to touch them, just to make sure they aren't. (One of my coworkers said she's going to buy one of these stems & add it to her potted orchid plant.....so it'll look like it's flowering all year long!)
Trendy Ribbon
We recently received some new trendy ribbon from Darice. There are 20 new styles in the collection. Take a walk down Aisle 1 to see the huge assortment of ribbon available.
Cupcake & Cake Supplies
Here are a few of the adorable new Wilton products that have just arrived! My favorite is the "Cupcake Wraps 'n Pix" - they are decorative designs to wrap around the base of a cupcake & they come with matching picks for the top - too cute. A few of the other new Wilton items include Icing Decorations & Photo Cake Toppers.
