Poppyfield Bead Company will open "softly" on Sunday, March 20th from 12-4. What does this mean? The store is still a work in progress. I am not truly ready to open. However, yesterday we completed the inventory and labeling of all size 15 and 11 Japanese seed beads. I want to make these available to beaders, as I know you've been without your "bead connection" since Margo closed her door. Let's be honest.... I need the sales as well. I will have the front half of the store accessible to customers. After Sunday the store will be open at regular hours and I will introduce more items for purchase gradually as they become ready for sale. Please be patient with the store's appearance and with me as I learn the ropes.

Upcoming Classes Will Be Open For Registration
"Phoenix Phlower" Advanced Class by Margo Field
I will also take registration for our first 3 scheduled classes with Margo Field. Margo is Poppyfield's original owner and a bead artist and teacher EXTRAORDINAIRE. There is a beginner class called "Poppyfield Chain" on April 11th from 6-9 pm for $25 (not including beads) and a 3 session advanced class for the Phoenix Phlower for $65(not including beads) - 3 consecutive Monday evenings 6-9 pm: April 25th, and May 2nd and May 9th. Another Phoenix Phlower class will be on 3 Saturdays from 1-4 pm: June 4, 11, and 18th. Samples of the completed projects will be in the store on Sunday. I may not have the supply lists and all the beads needed for the projects ready for Sunday. But I will have all of that over the next few weeks, and registering will allow you to reserve your space in the class. Please note that registration is non-refundable.
What Will NOT Be Available
At this time the Delicas, crystals, wire, and tools will not be in the soft opening. I will roll those out as they become available in the near future.
I must say that I am very excited about opening! When we finished the last display case of 11's my eyes filled with tears. It has seemed like this was never going to happen. But here it comes.... See you soon.
Peace and Beads,
Julia
