Happy Spring and Summer BumbleBeaders!

Our well-deserved, warm weather is finally here! Come out of hibernation and get those creative juices flowing. This is the perfect time of year to get a fresh start with lots of new ideas. Let the golden sun and colorful blooms of spring inspire your jewelry making. This is a time of new beginnings for BumbleBeads as well. Store manager, Devin Taylor, will be temporarily leaving us this June for the birth of her baby boy. We are so excited for her! In the meantime, we will celebrate the return of one of our favorite designers/teachers, Bridget Seligson. The time Bridget spent in Bali, Indonesia is sure to bring some exciting and exotic new classes to be announced later this season.

BumbleBeads is introducing a new series of informal, educational lectures focusing on the intriguing history of beads and jewelry. These fun, informative, discussions will be lead by shop owner, Anita Cain, and are completely FREE to attend! Following the lecture, guests will be invited to stay for a short workshop to create a piece of jewelry inspired by what you've learned (materials not included). The first of the series is entitled “The Lover's Eye”, Victorian Jewelry: Romance and Remembrance. Check out the full description in our class schedule and please RSVP if you plan to attend.

Join us on Sunday, May 2nd 11-5pm for Chestnut Hill's 14th annual Home and Garden Festival (rain date, May 16th). This year the event will highlight “Eco-Alley” on West Highland Avenue which will feature green vendors with sustainable products. We will have a booth in our regular spot in front of PNC Bank, near Gravers Lane. The shop will also be open from 12-5pm.
