“As seen in” — thankful Friday

Friday, May 8th, 2009

We like to end the week on an up note, by thanking people who are good to us.

This week, the BeadStyle blog discussed a favorite find of emerald slices at a past Rings & Things show.

And AsetMekti was kind enough to suggest people visit our BeadTour bead shows.  Fab Fibers shared the excitement of preparing for our trunk show to come to town, and some bead finds when we showed up.  The Lampwork Art blog was nice enough to publicize our Louisville, KY show.

The Little Bead Shop showed off the awesome competition winners' creations in our 2009 "Your Designs Rock!" contest.

Meanwhile, Dawno generously steered her readers to our contests, even though the more entries, the lower her chances of winning are!

CraftGossip.com gave some handy tips on Finding Jewelry Artists Through Twitter, using us as an example.  (Okay, this was back in April, but we just became aware of it!)

Wendy at Craft Dinner recommended stone cold stone lovers to check out our popular Gemstone Beads Index.  Another recommendation of the “Gem Index” appeared at Winged Heart Studio.

In an excellent tutorial on how to dabble in mixed media with porcelain blanks, The Rabbit Muse kindly gave a shout-out to us as a good supplier for bails to hang them on.

In other design news, Margot Potter recommend Melanie’s (of Earthenwood Studio) designs using our lava-rock beads.

This just in: update on tube-top bails!

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Rings & Things has designed a fresh, new alternative to glueable Aanraku bails!

Our Fall Supplement announces the new, R&T-exclusive plated tube-top bails as “now available online” (page F-2). They are not available, yet…

The tube-top bails were supposed to be in our warehouse by October 1.  Due to a manufacturing delay (plating them) they are yet to be received.  They may ship in time for us to have them in stock on Halloween.

In the meantime here’s the latest news about the tube-top bails:

  • We’re keeping a list of customers who are interested in these bails. (You can’t pre-order them, but you can have first crack when they come in.)  Call our awesome sales people at (800) 366-2156 to be added to the list!
  • The bails now have stock numbers (and extended descriptions) in our online store:

So you can search for these bails in our store and get more information on them.

We know how eagerly people are awaiting the tube-top bails.  Stay tuned, and we’ll let you know as soon as we have them.  Thanks so much for your enthusiasm, and for your understanding!
