OUR SPECIAL GUESTS
The Open house is going to be a little grander than the last one, as you can see we have a few special guests - Pippa Chandler from Pips, Lesley Watt from Thea Elements, Teresa Hulley From Bo Hulley Beads. All will be selling their wares plus the lovely Lesley has promised to demonstrate her stunning macrame earrings. I'm looking forward to learning this one.

FABRIC SALE
You may also have spotted that it says Fabric Sale! yes Fabric on my little flyer at the top. Some of you may know that before Smitten Beads there was Smitten Accessories. This is how Smitten began, I had a little shop in Bath, UK where I made and sold cushions, throws and handbags (and of course jewellery). Well I have a huge pile of beautiful fabrics just sitting in boxes! And that's just not right so it's time for a destash. So if you sew or know anyone who does then this years Smitten Open House is for you too. I shall be posting more when I have had a chance to sort through it all, there is a lot of fabric!
Here's the mountain that is my fabric stock all to be sorted and destashed.
To make room for our ever growing glass bead range we're selling off most of the acrylic and synthetic beads. Here are a few of the bags I've been making up for the Open House, most of the beads will be 50-70% off and in some cases even more :) it's grab a bargain time...
Bags of beads for the clearout sale.
CAKE!....
As if all this lovely bead heaven is not enough, some of our lovely customers have already offered to bring cakes, my Mum will be making her mushroom quiche and my husband has promised to put together something cooling to drink!
