Grand Opening!

People are always asking where they can buy our crafts. We've just been too busy with deadlines to work out how to sell them. But recently we've been moonlighting, working on a little store and finally it is ready for business!

You can purchase our original crafts that have been featured in Crafts 'n Things and Country Accents magazines. Plus new designs we made just for the store, like this gemstone necklace we call Alpine Spring.

And as a bonus for our readers, we are stocking some of our favorite craft materials. Plus we found the best craft totes! So check it out at Running With Sisters.

Bead Babe Bargains

We just ordered a slew of great beads and toggles from www.BeadBabe.com. We especially love their clasps. And best of all...the prices! Only $2.24 for two sets of this lovely copper-plated toggle. Great for us Recessionistas who can't stop beading no matter what. Thank you Bead Babe!

On The Cover Of The Rolling Stone!

Check out our new column in Bead Unique. We make crazy beaded things with flea market finds. We are so excited to be part of this awesome magazine. Plus our names made the cover!! "Make a Noteworthy beaded purse with the O'Neil Sisters." Almost famous!

Halloween Chic!

This Friday we are headed to A Room With A Past. This shabby chic flea market is open four days a month and has room after room filled with antique furniture and vintage delights. And this month they are all dressed up for Halloween! If you are in the Bay area, check it out! www.roomwithapast.com

Bead Soup!

We had the pleasure of visiting the Seattle area last week to celebrate our great aunt Lilli's 100th birthday. (Hope we got those genes!) We took the chance to drop in on one of our favorite bead stores. Beads of Bainbridge is located on the main shopping street, Winslow Way. Wonderful gemstones and lovely staff. We were there for hours!

Flea Market Masterpiece

We had a blast at the Alameda Antique Faire this past Sunday. Jennifer bought watch faces and apothecary bottles. Kitty splurged on a Chinese calligraphy brush with a carved jade handle. But the find of the day was this charming painting of these cute little dogs. It wins Best In Show!

Crafts and things.....

We just got back from the summer Craft and Hobby Show in Orlando. One of our favorite new items was Plaid Simply Silkscreen, a cool stencil printed on a fine screen for silkscreening without the fuss. And a highlight was definitely dinner with Abby Foster, Editor of Crafts 'n Things magazine. She's a doll!
