Swarovski™ Crystal Butterflies Fly into Central Illinois' Beads N Botanicals Shop

Calling all beaders in Central Illinois!

We are still sorting through the new bead shipment that arrived last week here at Beads N Botanicals in Urbana, IL.

As promised, I did get the new Swarovski™ crystals out in the front case. We’ve brought in more 8mm bicones (as well as an assortment of other sizes), some rounds and rondelles, as well as some new colors.

Highlights include Swarovski™ Crystal Butterflies in all their available sizes: 5mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm. Bright, shimmery butterflies to adorn earrings, bracelets and necklaces. By the way, the latest fashion trends are featuring butterfly accents in clothing, furniture, and jewelry designs.

If you have never seen the Swarovski™ Crystal Cantaloupe beads, you need to stop by and check them out. We ordered a small selection of bicone, cube and round crystal beads in this color. With Cantaloupe beads, you get three colors in one. In one type of light, the crystals appear a light green. In another type of light, the beads appear clear to pale grey in color. Shift your lighting once more, and the crystals have a peachy cantaloupe color. Not only are these colors among the fashion colors for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2009 fashion season, they are also hot colors for the Fall/Winter 2009 fashion scene. Never mind that they are just a neat crystal to work with.

As always here at the Beads N Botanicals shop, you can select as few as one Swarovski™ Crystal bead for a project or a 100 Swarovski™ crystals. The choice is yours.
