TUCSON!!!!

NEW BEADS EVERYDAY!!!! We just got back from Tucson and we are still getting stuff out everyday!

Actually, as a little "dogtrail", I have a funny story to share! Ok, so, in Tucson we shopped the really big shows the first part of the week...like the Gem Mall, which has two tents. One is almost three football fields in size full of vendors from China, Australia, Russia, etc and one tent that is one football field in size (full of the same). So, we usually dedicate two full 8-hour shopping days to that show...I know, shopping as a career...kinda sick in an AWESOME way...LOL

Anyway, I got side-tracked from my side-track....so, the story is that we did that show and the other major ones Monday-Thursday, and then shipped four GIANT, HEAVY boxes from the UPS Store on Friday morning. These four boxes had almost our entire trips worth the stuff in it...which under normal circumstances, we have a lot of faith in UPS, because normally they are very expedient and we've never had anything lost or damaged! So, kudos to UPS!

Those boxes went out Friday morning, to arrive Wednesday, Feb. 9th, and then we shipping another HUGE, HEAVY box on Saturday morning to arrive Thursday or Friday the 10th-11th. Well, Friday, the 11th came and went...no boxes. The website said "Delayed shipment due to ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS" which you can't blame then because it was like OMG....BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! that week, Tucson was in the 20s with a windchill in the teens, and at least it was sunny because I heard that Columbus was rainy, sleety, snowy, icey...or a combination thereof...with roof damage and rolling blackouts....YIKES!

So, Sat the 12th, I called the UPS store in Tucson. The lady was very helpful, and she checked on them and called me back...with nothing to say, other than what the website had already mentioned...but, after checking the website again, it said that it would come Monday, which y'all know we're closed on Mondays. So, Mom and I came up and opened the store monday afternoon, in case there were any travelers that wanted to check us out, while we waited with baited breathe for the UPS guy. He never came. I also forgot to mention that he was already informed about the boxes because the lone box that we shipped on Saturday, after the first four, had already arrived on Friday....go figure....

Well, they finally came yesterday, the 15th. Making that the most time UPS has ever made us sit on pins and needles and loose sleep ever. In conclusion, UPS is 99.9999999% reliable....

Enough with the excursion....I want to talk about our NEW CLASSES and NEW BEADS! Or I could just show you...here's some pix, hot off the press....

NEW CLASS: Tilas (and NEW Two-Hole Czech glass beads) with Two-Hole Daggers! I found some really COOL colors in Tucson....

GIANT BALL CHAIN means 6MM! Great for MEN!
And the vintage skeleton keys go great with it!

This is not an optical illusion...that is, in fact, CAMO chain...it's aluminum, so it's lightweight, and it's CAMO, so just about any man will wear it...but, not to worry ladies...camo is for girls, too!
