July 19, 2006 Hi Friends!!   Time is just flying by these days.  The summer is going so quickly and the sure sign is when I start thinking about my fall schedule of Art Fairs. I have not done a show since early March and am excited about doing some between now and Christmas.  As I've written, I took a couple months off to have remodelling done in our house and it is about 95% complete....thank goodness! One certainly appreciates normal living conditions after a total make-over!!   I am working fast and furiously to be ready for the Art Fair on the Green in La Crosse, Wisconsin in less than 2 weeks!!! I am very excited to go back to this very well-established show, the 48th annual!! I am also excited to be introducing 3 new items.....beaded lamp finials, beaded ceiling fan pulls and cell phone beads called "Phonee Beads".    If you look for these items on the web site, you will not find them yet.  Give me a direct call at (765) 662-6302 or (765) 661-4307 if you want to order.  My personal email address is halvers@sbcglobal.net. I apologize for my site not being up to date with all my products.  I have much work to do on the site and will probably not get to it for a few months.  I hope you feel it is an avenue to see styles of bracelets and necklaces and a way I can communicate with you.   The studio is waiting for me to design new watches and necklaces today!  I must get busy.   As always, I enjoy hearing from you....   Fondly, Julie
