October Notes

10/8/2024

What a glorious fall so far up here in the North!  Yesterday there were even Northern Lights to be admired!  I was too lazy to go out and take photos as I have had the opportunity a few times already in the past couple months.  They are pretty cool!

The NNB Open House was a smashing success with the gorgeous weather present that day and everyone who came just hung out, had some snacks, soup or refreshments and were able to shop without the rush or crowds.  Lots of giveaways were enjoyed and we had two winners one in the drawing for the Gift Certificate and one for the freshwater pearl necklace set!

I think the Open House will be moved from now on to the last Saturday of September as the weather chances for sunshine and a bit more warmth are higher that time of year than waiting to the second week in October when I had it the past 4 years.

So again a HUGE THANK YOU to all who came, to all who bought and brought a friend, for chatting and hanging out and just enjoying a lovely afternoon in the studio's back yard.

Now on to upcoming Events!  The Events page also has been updated with all the new dates and information.  Always make sure if you do get a flyer from me at a show, that you check the Facebook page or here for updated info as sometimes event dates change (because I haven't had all the info yet) or even locations may change due to venue availability issues that can arise occasionally.

NOTESNBLING Jewelry:

As always when I do a news update I'll show just a few pieces that I have recently made, but many more are on my Facebook page, as I list the items as they are created with photo and description.
Top Row:  Custom Order with genuine Turquoise & Czech Picasso on leather fringe.  Handcrafted Copper Scroll hearts with Terra Cotta Toho beads.  The scroll stick coined "the Messed Up One" with Picasso Czech.  Arizona Terra Cotta beads!!!! so excited I got my order in and created this necklace.  Then due to mismeasurement of a girls leather bracelet, I cut it in half and made earrings out of that leather which turned out super cute!
Bottom Row:  For the first time I've started making bracelets for tiny wrists!!
​Little girls earrings, girls beaded bracelet and small sized leather bracelets to fit young ones or someone with super small wrists.
​ 
LASTLY:
Just wanted to share that I'm still in the "contemplating" mode as far as a shopping website and the particulars and learning curve that come along with it.  As well as lives that I'd really like to do.
However, lately life has been happening - lots has to do with a friend's health issues I'm trying to be a good supportive friend to.  So much of my time has gone to that, some to creating and of course the Open House, upcoming shows and so on.

I"m super excited about the fun items I got in as of late, especially the Clay & Terra Cotta beads I got in from Arizona.  
Also I was just at the Dakota Stones Warehouse Sale in the Twin Cities this past weekend and found some wonderful bead specimens I can't wait to work with.  It was great catching up with Ricky and the crew at Dakota, finding out about other beading colleagues in Hurricane affected areas and that they are ok.  
​The funniest thing as I was checking out beads at Dakota Stones and running strands through my hands to see the color variations of the beads, Ricky walks by and says: "Happy bead petting".  😂. Now THAT's funny!!  LOL.    Guess from now on I'm not bead shopping but bead petting.  😊😊😊.

​Anyhow, right now another hurricane is headed towards Florida, my daughter lives there and had to evacuate....  I'm praying for safety for all and that all those stuck on highways to get out are able to get going again as they are opening opposite Interstate Lanes for just that traffic going out so they can all get to a safe place.  
Praying also for folks in the places in the Carolinas and Georgia and other areas devastated by the weather...

May God keep us in the palm of His hand as we trust Him in these scary weather times.

Until the next time....
Blessings to all,
Sam

    Psalm 100 Scripture
    1 Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.
    2 Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing.
    3 Know that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
    4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
    5 For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations.
