Need an idea on how to use the new Swarovski crystals?

Check out this ring that Jenn made!


This will be a class during the fall.  If you cannot wait until then, check out Laura McCabe's book on how to capture Rivolis.  The concept is the same.

We knew it was coming, but it finally happened... the intersection of Whittaker and Stony Creek is now closed (for 5 weeks). So, to get from us, come in from the North. Stay in the right lane until you pass all of the construction signs. Make sure to use the main entrance as the last one is closed. See you soon!

Now THAT is a Swarovski!

Look at these "hunks" of Swarovski crystals that just arrived. We cannot wait to play with these beauties! There are only 24 of each on this first shipment, so come in soon to get yours.
