Bead-of-The-Month Club--GREAT GIFT IDEA

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 16:46:25 -0500

$190.00
Here's something new I started last year and thought I would offer it again this year. This would make a great gift for the hard to buy for person or even for yourself. With the Bead-of-the-Month you can give the gift that keeps giving throughout the year! You will get a special card in the mail explaining how the club works that you can send or wrap up.
The first month (January 2010) your gift package will come with a one-of-a kind bead and a sterling silver change-a-bead pendant stick that makes for a great instant piece of wearable art! The pendant stick has 1.5 inches of spacer for beads and easily slides onto a cord or a chain and the bead can be changed at the wearers whim. Every 1st of the month for the rest of the year you or your giftee will recieve a new bead in the mail. The beads will vary but are gauranteed to be top quality and not less than a $20 value. The beads for the Bead -Of The-Month club will be along the lines of the "Zuma Singles" that I offer here every month. My singles average 17 x 25mm in size and are rarely smaller but often slightly larger larger. Sometimes I may be tempted to send a disc for the bead of the month, please let me know if your would rather not have disc beads.

***This purchase is over a 20% discount on what you would pay to buy a bead every month for a year. The shipping is free and the change-a-bead pendant is free as well!

What's the wonder? There's not only a hole through the center of this "disc" but there are holes through each of the "petals" as well! Many design possibilities!

45mm from petal tip to tip, 8mm thick and wound on a 1/8" mandrel.

Shipping is FREE!

All of my beads are one-of-a kind, made one-at-a time by me in my Des Moines, Iowa, studio--The Torch Porch.
All of my beads are properly kiln annealed for a life everlasting, and have been cleaned, inspected and then cleaned some more! I use
mainly Moretti and Lauscha (soft) glass. PLEASE email me if you have any questions. I answer ALL emails quickly!
