Hello Auntie’s Beaders
Hello Auntie’s Beaders and welcome to our new blog!
I decided it was time for a change, so we started by having a blog that will be similar to the old one but will also include updates of what’s going on at AuntiesBeads.com as well as all sorts of fun beading information all across the board, the “beading board”, if you will. Anyway, check this page regularly to see what’s goin down here at Aunties’.

Hi Susie & team. I LOVE AUNTIES BEADS!!!! I live in England & came across your site in BeadStyle magazine. I am coming to stay in PA with my daughter soon, & can’t wait to place my order with Aunties Beads!
Is there any chance of karla doing a video of decorating a cell phone with Swarovski Crystals?

Hi Susie and all at Aunties beads. I am also from England and I have been looking and ordering from Aunties site for quite a time now. I love Karla’s videos. When ever I get designers block I always go to the learning centre and/or Karla’s videos. It is not just her designs that inspire me it is her enthusiastic approach that encourages me to get going again. Susie, I really love the way you are encouraging us to get out there and get busy with our businesses. That wonderful approach to life is something that I think is uniquely American and I would like to thank you for that. I know that my designs sell - I just have to get out there and do it more!! One thing I would like to pass on is that I think many more English people would use the site but we may be a little unsure about the tax and shipping situation. If you could explain the rules that would go along way to helping us relax about it.

Hi all at Aunties.
Thanks Suzie for the tube on display. I think they were both excellent and each could be used depending on where you were selling. At a house party I would probably go for the first one but at a craft fair I would definately use the second because it gives a flavour of the artist and I think that people would want to buy a little of that too!!

Auntie’s is my favorite place to purchase beads from! Before I started ordering online, I used to visit the Auntie’s Bead store in Prairie Village, Kansas as I prefer to make my bead selections in person. I was very sorry to hear about their closing last December. Is there any chance of bringing a store back to this area? Please???? I happily drove 2 hours just to go to this store. I’ll be in Grapevine in August for a convention & plan to make a side trip to the Grapevine store.

I have just received my order for the jewelery cleaner {precious jewelery cleaner} Part# TL825 for $7.95. It is not what is advertised. I have previously order it and it should be green lettering just like ad and 8oz bottle. I just received a 4 oz bottle for $7.95 with purple letter. VERY
MISSLEADING

We greatly appreciate your notifying us in this matter. We were unaware of the old picture. It has been updated with new photograph and “4 oz.” in the description. There was no intention to mislead as we are a company that tries to deliver all our products in an accurate and timely manner. I apologize for the inconvenience and thanks again for the catch.

Happy Birthday, Susie. I will also be 49 on June 24th. I think it’s a great age. Auntie’s Beads is my favorite site for beads. Thanks for all of the great sales and you always have such a great selection.
