Small update today. We got in a new line of beads called Uptown Beads by Dress It Up.  Very neat and stylish, also easy to make. Pick your chain and the beads you want and slip them on. No need to tie, crimp, or toggle, so no hassle!

We still have a lot of people coming in asking about Leis for their graduates. For any occasion we got TONS of leis to chose from. Want to learn to make one? No problem!

May is here!

You know school is almost over, projects for the kids are just around the corner. Finals (cram sessions!) College Libraries open with later hours. Everyone working so hard getting ready for that special graduate. Have you made them a lei yet? What about favors?

New things we got in Martha punches (and they are on sale). We even got that fuzzy poster that you color in.
