The Paper Bead Boutique

Sharing My Love of Paper Beading!

New Pretties Coming to the Shop!

Good Morning Paper Bead Friends!

Hope you are all doing well and are enjoying our springtime! Me, I’ve been doing great! Now, newly retired, I am having a blast with my paper beads and other fun beading projects! I’ve recently become obsessed with fun, chunky and colorful glass beads! I can’t have enough of them! I’ve started making some sun catchers/windchimes and loving how they are turning out! Above are a few of those I’ve made (sorry for the horrible pics but wanted you to see them!) I plan to list them sometime over the next week or so and will have better pics to show them off! I will have different sizes, some with bells and some with charms. They add so much color and shine, a great window or garden decoration!

I’d love to know your thoughts! Do you decorate your windows or garden areas? Is this something you would enjoy seeing in the shop? I know they are not paper but just trying to offer other fun beading projects to the already fun collection of paper bead items I carry! Stay tuned folks! Be watching for them! Pop by https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com and see what else is new!

Until next time, Happy Beading!

Our New Look!

Good Morning Paper Bead Friends!

So what do you think of my new logo? I’ve been wanting to change things up for some time but wasn’t quite finding the right look! While scrolling through my feed on Instagram, I came across The Painted Blossom Beadery and fell in love with her hand painted logo look! I sent her a message and the rest is history! Slowly but surely, you’ll see images changed in my shop and on my social media, but my beads and jewelry will not change! Please look her up if you’re in need of some new graphics! She is so meticulous about her work! I’m so pleased with my outcome! In the meantime, check out the sale going on now in my shop at https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com! Until next time, Happy Beading!

A New Year brings New Changes!

Good Evening Paper Bead Friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday filled with the love of family and friends! As we come to the end of the year, there are some changes being made to https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com! I am excited, yet nervous at the same time, to share with you I will be officially retiring early this spring! Santa gave me the gift of an early retirement! I am beyond excited yet very nervous as I still have to bring in a bit of $$ to pay some personal monthly bills! I will be devoting ALOT more time to my bead shop and the making of more jewelry pieces! I’m also considering staying on for a couple days a week just to be able to have some adult interaction!

So, having said that, I have decided to lower my prices (even though I shouldn’t have to!) to try and sell more beads! Most all listings have been dropped and are now available for purchase at the lower price! This Saturday, December 28th, I will be unveiling 20 new designs of beads at the lower prices! Stop by and take a look! https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com

Last but not least, I want to THANK YOU ALL for your continued support throughout the years! You’ve allowed me to follow a dream and I owe it all to you! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Until, next time, Happy Beading!

Thanksgiving Reflections and Beading Updates

Good Morning Paper Bead Friends and Happy Holidays to You All! I hope you had a safe and relaxful Thanksgiving Day! We most certainly did! This was the first year I’ve not cooked. Mark and I went to spend Thanksgiving with my Mom, who is currently living in an assisted living facility about an hour and a half away from us. We had a nice visit and I am thankful to have had one more holiday with her.

Things have been so crazy busy around here, with me back to working full time and my daughter Caitlyn and her boyfriend buying their own place, lots of changes! I miss her terribly but and so proud of her for taking that step! Feeling a bit sad that I don’t have the time I’m use to for beading. I really am missing that and am hopeful mid 2025, that will change… (fingers crossed)

For now, the above three holiday designs are the last of new sets for 2024. Already working on plenty to debut for 2025 and I can’t wait to show you! Stop into my site at https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com often as I will be marking lots down between now and the end of the year to get rid of older designs and make room for the new! Please enjoy a 25% discount when you spend $25 in the store right now.

Enjoy the beauty of the season and as always, Happy Beading!

Paper Bead Jewelry is BACK!

Hello Paper Bead Friends!

I hope your weekend is off to a good start! Mine sure is but I could certainly use some sunshine here in the great Pacific Northwest!

Several of you have asked me to consider bringing back my paper bead jewelry creations and I thought I would give them another try!

Here are three of my new designs now available in my Etsy shop! I plan on adding earrings, bracelets and anklets, as well as the necklaces, as I find the time to create, but I wanted you to see these NOW!

I’d love to know your thoughts! Find these beauties at https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com

Until next time, Happy Beading!
