If you recognize yourself in this photo, or know who it is, we know you stole A LOT of merchandise yesterday. This is you stuffing A LOT of MY belongings into your bag. I would like to remind you that when you steal from a small business, you are taking away from the livelihood of that business. I don’t have a yacht, or a jet, or launch rockets. I am able to support keeping the doors open to this store and keep it stocked, and the more that goes out the door without being paid for, the more likely it is that for small business to not be sustainable. If you knew how much money it takes to have a brick and mortar business, and that I get paid zero dollars to work my butt off to keep it going, maybe you might think twice about loading your bag up with beads and things that I personally paid for. You ruin it for everyone else when things disappear off the walls and hooks, and then we have to take measures to make it harder for everyone to shop.

* Thank you everyone for your comments, and sharing and reposting, it is so appreciated. I know this post is going well beyond what it was intended for, and I am grateful for your far-reaching support. This happened 7/11/26 in the Los Angeles area.

We had a gentleman come in today looking to commission someone to duplicate a loom beaded pouch. Based on the various materials and techniques needed to complete this project to the satisfaction of the client, I think someone that is well-versed in traditional Native American beadwork would be the best fit. If you think this might be you, please send me a message or email me at [email protected]. He has so far not found anyone willing to take on this project.
***this is not the pouch, but it has twisted fringe at the bottom***

We don’t ever see alexandrite beads because the mineral is so valuable and displays its unique properties better as cabochons or faceted stones, but it’s so stunning I thought I’d share this with you. Those rough twinned crystals - when two or more crystals are intergrown - are so cool!
We do get imitation alexandrite in color change glass, but it’s usually very subtle, changing from a lavender purple to more blue in different lighting conditions.
