TRUNK SHOW -- GEMSTONES and MORE -- LAST OF THE YEAR

One of the things we always did was open our vendors' drive-bys to the public.
This is one of our best vendors, and they bring dozens of boxes of beads, in gemstones and glass, in medium to high grade (none of the really lower end stuff everyone has). Many of our best strands have come from them, and it's always been *NOT* *IF* we can find materials we like, but *WHICH* to limit our selves to!
They will be here between 2 and 6 pm on THURSDAY NOVEMBER 20th -- at our Douglas St. Location. We will be open a bit before then, and we'll have some kits, and other stuff available (wholesale packaged). We are *NOT* a retail bead shop any more.
Wholesale customers can deal direct with the vendor *IF* you bring your tax ID, and cash/credit. You *MUST* haver your tax ID, or you'll have to go through us and pay sales tax. The vendor can only process wholesale orders without tax. Everyone else deals through us, and we'll provide real whole-sale discounted prices to EVERYONE, regardless of order size.
As you know, there are few real bead shows in this town, and fewer that are worth going to. *THIS* vendor is *WORTH* coming for, if you use gemstones, are looking for something unique, need to stock up, and want to save a *LOT* of money, and HAND-PICK the strands you desire. Anyone who has taken advantage of this vendor in the past has walked away with awesome deals, and never stopped talking about it. They have more variety and quality in their one store, than most bead shows have among all the vendors.
In the past, as I said, we have never spent less than $3000 with this vendor, and most times much more than that. We have always anxiously awaited their bi-annual visits.
We will have the shop arranged to allow them to display their items, and control it,. but there will be LIMITED SPACE for people at any given time.
For the first time, we will also make it possible for them to lay out their inventory, and items in a more sales-oriented manner, rather than a box or two at a time.
We will be working this saturday, and tues/wed to make sure there is room for all the merchandise.
Saturday, we are open to the public from 10am to 4pm. We have made a lot of kits, have a huge amount of seed beads to clear out, and many loose and packaged items. Our higher end strands are also available, and we are also clearing out all our pearls, and whatever mid-range strands we have left.
