Where your sparkliest dreams come true

Between Day of the Dead celebrations and Halloween, October is chock full of fun here at the shop. October 21 & 22 is Art on Harrison, when we'll have a drop-in workshop both days to make Day of the Dead dangles or earrings. We have kits ready as well for Day of the Dead dangles (see images below), or we can help you design your own with beads that represent a special loved one.

We have a group on meetup.com called the Oak Park Area Beading Meetup. It's one way of getting the word out and growing the backtable group.
