Christmas Rush

Christmas is just around the corner, and we are feeling the pressure. The amount of orders we’ve received is quite overwhelming – and to think that most of these orders come from my partner’s officemates only.

My partner and I are exhausted from lack of sleep, but we are very happy with how well things are going.

So, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers for their continuous support for Beaddict. We promise to continue improving our products and coming up with new and unique designs you will be sure to love.

A Very Merry Christmas to You!

Bazaar Time!

This past week has been a busy one, since we have been preparing for our first bazaar. I’ve been feeling a bit anxious about it…after all, it is my first time. We had a "creative session" last weekend to come up with brand new designs for the coming bazaar.

My dilemma is how many items to bring! The pessimist in me doesn’t want to bring all of my items because I’m not sure if I will be able to sell anything. On the other hand, the optimist in me doesn’t want to bring too few items in case I can actually sell them all.

But I guess I can only learn from experience. Wish me luck!

Rock Glam

After watching the TV show Rock Star: INXS, I have been inspired by the rock genre – and not just with regards to the music. I’ve been trying for weeks to come up with an accessory that can help pull off the "rock glam" look, minus the leather of course.

Last week, I finally put together the perfect rock accessory. It’s a cuff made with black organza ribbons, silver beads and findings, clear glass cut beads and Swarovski crystals. The black ribbons give the cuff the "rock feel" and the crystals lend a touch of elegance to the entire piece.

Check it out at our website.

Pearl Ardor

My partner and I have been fascinated with pearls ever since we stumbled upon a group of vendors selling freshwater pearls by the beach last summer. In fact, I think it was this encounter that prompted us to start Beaddict.

I love the elegance that comes from wearing pearls. When I am in a hurry to get to work and have no time to decide what accessories match my outfit, I usually reach for my pearls. They never fail to complete my look.

I also love experimenting with the different colors, shapes and sizes of pearls. They are so versatile, and I enjoy combining them with different materials to come up with classic but fun pieces.

Of course, what I love the most about pearls is how reasonably priced they are!

I believe that every woman should have at least one pearl accessory. But why have only one, when you can have many more without having to break the bank? Check out our items to find the perfect pearls for you.

You Know You Are a Beaddict When…

…You get up in the middle of the night because you had just come up with a great new design and can’t get back to sleep without trying it out
…You spend your lunch break looking for beads, even though you have a hundred different beads at home (some of which are still untouched)
…It is already part of your routine to drop by your favorite bead shop (and the personnel can recognize you, even if the shop is so crowded)
…You spend most of your day at work trying to come up with new ideas
…You feel that your real work comes when you get home to work on your accessories
…You just have to pass by every new bead shop that you see
…You come home with some great new stuff, only to think that you are still missing some things and want to go back (and you still spend a lot of time browsing through everything)
…You forget to eat lunch or dinner because you get so caught up in a project
