CHRISTCHURCH BEAD SHOP GONE!

Some very sad news .. will post more info at a later stage, but all those that may have been following this blog, our Christchurch shop is no longer operating.
Due to the earthquake, our beautiful building was badly damaged and we are unable to operate from it.
We have retrieved our stock and for the time being have closed the doors on this very special place.
Hopefully we will not be gone for long... so watch out for news.. will keep you posted and who knows we may well find somewhere equally beautiful to run our special shop again in the future.

Thank you to everyone who has been apart of this shop for the 7 years we have operated... we look forward to seeing you again soon hopefully.

In the meantime, we will concentrate on our Queenstown and Dunedin shops .. so if you are in that area.. pop in and say hi, we would love to see you!

Cheers for now.

Losing Fiona!!!

She thought after 5 years she could just delete herself off the Christchurch Bead Shop Blog... well she has another think coming... cos I need to say to everyone out there who just may be reading this blog A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO FIONA for all the wonderful work, time and effort she put into the people, the shop, the jewelry, John and I (Mum and Dad!!) for the 5 years she was with us.

Go for it Fiona, we all miss you and wish you the very best with everything you do... make sure it's not too much!!!

Thank you's are simple and we mean it..

Saturday Markets at THE BEAD SHOP

Is there anyone out there wanting to display/sell their jewelry ... we are offering an opportunity at The BEAD Shop where you can bring your beautiful beaded pieces every saturday from 10.30am - 12.30pm to sell!!! Using our back room through the court yard, we will choose 5 people each saturday to market their talent!!

Why are we doing this??? Well, we are very aware that there are a number of very talented people out there that are just not getting the exposure they need and deserve and we would LOVE to encourage you wherever you are in Christchurch!!!

Cost??? Nothing ... we won't charge for the space, but if you do sell we will take a small commission on each item.

Bring a sample of your work into us first, as we do insist on quality work.

So if you are keen, get in contact with us at the shop Lee, Angie, Brie or Sawako and we can let you know which saturday is available for you and your work!!

Get Beading, get Creative, GET TO THE BEAD SHOP!!!
