Artistic Artifacts Annex – December 2009 Update
Visit my Blog : www.ArtisticArtifacts.com/blog
Happy Holidays! I think it’s time to write a newsletter, but first I must add a couple more items to the website… just a few more… a few more… and then the newsletter doesn’t get written. Let’s just say that I am not a creature of habit, much to the frustration of my husband. LOL! But after much procrastination, here it is! Remember to let you friends and family know what is on your wish list. And if someone is purchasing a gift, let me know in the memo field and I will gift wrap for you!! Also, Artistic Artifacts offers Gift Certificates, a perfect gift for those creative talents in your family.
Artistic Artifacts was a vendor at Houston Quilt Festival in October this year; you can find more about Houston and MIU on my blog. We had a wonderful time and met artists from all over the world.
Please remember we love to see photos of your work with our products; I would love to post your photos on my blog! Send me an email with your photos along with any information you wish to share about your work.
There is a new look on my website – we have added new navigation to the left side; you can either click on the category and it will link to a landing page or you can continue to pull down the category for a menu link. In addition, all of the various product categories can be accessed from the photo links in the center of the home page. We hope these changes will make shopping and browsing easier, and comments are always welcome.

————————- Beads Update ————————-
All the bead mixes have been switched from the tin containers to a clear acrylic container with screw top!! And we sneak a few more beads in the container while keeping the same low price of $8.00 each. The bead mixes include very small seed beads up to size 11, and what I call novelty beads- tear drops, leaves, lentils or other shapes. The empty containers, 3/4″ and 2″ heights, are also available if you would like to convert your storage system to this one – clear, visable, portable.
————————- Special Pricing ————————-
Vintage Optical Lens – Sold 1-per package. Each optical lens is different in thickness, glass and tab. Wonderful to incorporate into jewelry and altered art.
