Hello my dear friends!! I’m digging like an archeologist up to my elbows in studio treasures getting ready for my BEAD BAZAAR and hope you all will be able to attend. The dates are still to be determined. The most frequent email comment I’ve gotten is “What if I’m not able to be there early to get my favorites?” For this reason I’m going to be making up mulitple groupings of most selections to make sure everyone gets a chance at the beads they love the most.
And in case you havent seen this in the Facebook sidebar on the blog….VONNIE is the first winner from our Travelblogue Comments drawing. CONGRATS VONNIE on winning this gorgeous 3/4″ scarab created in African Amazonite. Remember my getting these in Cairo when we were with our guide Rasha??? I picked out a primo one and put a sterling bail on it so it is ready to wear or design with.
These look excactly like the ones in the Cairo museum …all hand carved and beautifully detailed!! The next drawing will be for a vial of pure lavender oil from Provence France where all the lavender fields are. At night put a teeny drop on your temples and you will sleep like a baby…guaranteed!!!! Winner to be announced tomorrow
And I’ll give my blog readers a first peek at the new handbags on the site!!! Many are quickly selling out just from shoppers discovering them by accident, so I wanted to give you a “heads up” in case you find one you don’t want to miss. Each style is a LIMITED EDITION OF SIX ONLY unless otherwise stated
You will find 3 categories of bags in the TOP LEFT column of the website. SLING BAGS, BUCKET BAGS AND WALLETS
to access the homepage of GRAFFITIJEWELRY.COM
Just a few examples are pictured here…see more at the website

October 20, 2009 at 8:07 amWould love to check out the live chat, but I’m at work and can’t access it. I think your website is great! I subscribed after finding out that you at Barclay’s second home!! By the way, have you gotten a hold of him since returning from your trip? He sure looks as though someone has brushed him!! 🙂 Look forward to the bead show!

October 22, 2009 at 12:07 pmWOOHOOO!
I am shocked and sooooo happy. LOVE that scarab! I wanted one
for so long but never got one because I wanted one from Egypt where they come from and now…..I have one!
That KOI purse really caught my eye too but I had already reserved a Panda. They are all equally pretty though. I am sure of a sell out for you.
Thanks Kathleen, hope you win a treasure too! And if you do I hope it’s something you really really want as was my case.
Thank you so much.
Slideshow was great, another mini escape from the real world!

October 23, 2009 at 5:23 pmHey everyone!!! I’m so excited to hear from you all!! OMG Jeanette…..YES you noticed…Barklay has a new hairdo…LOL! He begs to be brushed but of course he’s just like my chows and everything is on BARKLAY’s terms…loll. For all of you who missed the kitty posts…Barklay is our visiting black kitty who has a great story to tell!! I need to fill you all in about Jeanette later!! LOL
Vonnie, I’m thrilled you love the scarab!! I hand picked those few I got. They were hard to find even in Cairo believe it or not!!! I have more goodies to give away tomorrow. My apologies for getting behind. I needed to photography a zillion beads today and yesterday and got totally sidetracked.
Patricia I will be doing a series of smaller shows vs one huge one I decided today…..this way everyone will get a chance at the beads while they are avaiable
Big hugs to everyone and have a super weekend!!!
