…but I bet this one went for some serious bait!
We were tickled to find a Rings & Things face in the newspaper the other day. Our accounting manager, Ken, reeled in a heck of a notable fish:
It WAS this big!
At 14 pounds, 7 ounces, this walleye was worth the fight. Ken caught this animal on the Spokane River, near old Fort Spokane, and we couldn’t resist bragging 
Nice going, Ken!
That’s what a Rings & Things colleague said on Facebook. I love how humble bead people are
In a March 2010 magazine ad for gemstone beads and filigrees, we let a typo slip through. It’s been corrected (since)…
...from inpired to inspired...
If you click this pic, you can find the word ‘inspired’. We mistakenly sent the magazine publisher a version that said ‘inpired’, oops…
Seeing a silver lining, we challenged our ultra-sharp beady buddies in the social media world, to see if they could find a typo in one of our ads.
Thanks for helping us turn lemons into lemonade!
B.F. minus 4 days, as I write…
Rings & Things is going to kick off its springtime BeadTour this Sunday, with a big bead show in Spokane! Then we hit the road, crisscrossing America. Here’s a special treat to get you bead fans excited about our trunk shows:
Click for 360 degrees of beads!
It’s our new 360° “panorama” view…a.k.a. beadshow cam Take a spin through the bead tables at one of our shows!
Can you believe it, we made it through the winter again, and it’s time to stock up on beads once more!
Rings & Things’ blog partner, Heather Powers, is hosting a “Bead Soup” beading party before the next R&T bead trunk show in San Antonio.
Fiesta in old San Antone!
Why not organize a Rings & Things bead show party with your beady friends when R&T rolls into your town? Gather together before or after Rings & Things’ next trunk show for a bead soup party.
What is it? A bead soup party consists of everyone bringing a 16” strand of beads in a set color scheme along with one clasp, focal bead and stringing materials. The strands of beads get tossed into a bowl, mixed together and scooped out evenly among the party goers. Everyone then creates a bracelet or necklace with their bead soup while visiting with each other. Serve chocolate for best results!
If you have your bead soup party after the trunk show, everyone can pick up something at the show to contribute! Shopping with a group of bead enthusiasts is the best — discovering and sharing a good find with friends is half the fun.
