We'll begin on the happy news that one of our longstanding members of staff tied the knot on Friday 26th September.
The blushing bride looked fabulous in her black satin frock and shiny accessories. We, of course, were beside ourselves with excitement. There's nothing like a good wedding to bring out the beader in us and there were creations aplenty. It was like Ascot but with big jewellery instead of big hats and reggae instead of riding!

Anyway, our competition entries have started coming in but e're still looking forward to seeing loads more. Don't forget the closing date - 31st October 2008.

Just incase you've not seen this on the message boards, Beads Unlimited are running a beading competition on our Facebook and MySpace sites.
We would like you to send photos of your marvellous designs using coloured wire. Your creation can be anything from a simple necklace to a lifesize interpretation of David Dickinson, as long as it's all your own work!
Some fab beady prizes are up for grabs and our favourite entries will be displayed on our Facebook and MySpace sites.
Judging by all the creativity on here, we thought that it's just the sort of thing you fellow crafters would be interested in.
