Well hello July! We can say good riddance to June. June was a different kind of month - between schools letting kids out, vacations and such - I am looking forward to getting people back on task with our classes for July. We have a great line up of classes for July. We are truly excited and think you will be too! We have a NEW teacher - Melissa Inman, who is an area art teacher at Wintergreen Intermediate school. We are having two art camp workshops one on July 23rd and the other on August 4th. Go ahead and get signed up NOW because spaces are limited. We are also excited because our Sue Beck is going to teach an ALL DAY workshop with PMC (Precious Metal Clay) on July 31st. This class will be absolutely AMAZING!!! In this class you will learn to make a Precious metal ring and pendant. When you complete your project - it will be absolutely amazing and will surely stun others when they see what you have made in this workshop.
We have some WONDERFUL classes coming up - so be sure to check them out on our website.

Memorial Day Weekend....
It's been a while - but we have been busy at Dragonfly - between classes and our inventory. I am happy to say - Jay and I are DONE with our inventory! I think you will be excited to see the changes we have made with our walls. We have moved our gemstones, expanded and sorted our Czech glass and added more loose beads too! We are truly excited with all of our changes going on at Dragonfly and look forward to getting YOUR feedback (our customers and friends).
We have new classes coming up in June - so look for our email in the next few days. Our teachers are so creative and come up with so many wonderful classes - so be on the look out for lots of NEW classes.
We appreciate ALL who were able to come out and attend our trunk show and appreciate your continued support - because without YOU we would not be here.
Thank you again...

May 11th.... Where have I BEEN?
WHEW! Where have I been? I feel like it has been an eternity since I last wrote here... A lot has gone on in our lives and its nice to have a bit of normalcy. Nan has been super involved in Relay for Life and the main event was April 23rd and 24th and now with that behind her - she can begin to focus on other things. We are looking into multiple types of workshops this summer and will have more information for you soon on it...
We are super excited about our customer appreciation trunk show that has been going on now for a week... We are now into week two and things are still going strong. We are so excited because this trunk show is for items ALL under $10.00. How can you beat that... spending $6.00 on a strand of gemstones... Sounds like a bargain to me!
Hope to see you all in the shop soon... Be on the look out for MORE exciting news and workshops in the making... as we speak!! Thank you for your continued support!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Well hello all - what a weekend!
We are not used to snow, this much cold weather and this much rain either! WOW! I think we are getting a taste of what it is like to live elsewhere in the country. I am looking forward to this snow melting and a little warmer weather - and as soon as it happens I think we have another "system" moving in with more snow.. YIKES!
Well - as you may know - we did not start our trunk show yesterday. Boo hoo! We were concerned about how OTHERS would drive in and decided that we would rather play it safe than sorry... so with saying that - we are sorry. I realized around 12 noon that the roads were fine, but I was still overly concerned about those on back roads trying to come in and you know - beads are just not important enough to get hurt in a fall or accident.
We will begin the trunk show on Tuesday - and look forward to seeing you all then. We have strands we have never had before from $4.00 and up! So if you haven't gotten over to see us lately - this week is the week to come see us!
As you may or may not know this month is our 5 year anniversary and we feel like we are over a HUGE hump in our lives. We want to thank you - each and everyone of you for your support throughout the past 5 years and many more to come!
We have a lot of new exciting classes coming so PLEASE be sure to check out the website and see what there is to offer. We have new wire wrapping classes with Sue (gorgeous as usual) - New silversmith and wire wrapping classes with Faye and even MORE new classes coming with Nancy and Margie who teach our seed bead classes. So please be on the look out for MORE new classes to be added. We are tickled with what is coming up here at Dragonfly and hope you are too!
See you in the shop!

Holidays and New Year behind us...
Well the holidays and the New Years festivities are behind us and now we are on to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Valentine's Day and Presidents day are coming soon! We have had 17 days of cold weather the threat of "snow" which turned out to be a bust... and I know I for one am ready for warm weather. This has been a rough 17 days of cold weather!!!
Do you have plans for Monday (Martin Luther King day)? If not, we will have a class Monday evening (as you know we are closed on Monday's) -- but we are trying different things for the NEW year - and with that being said we have a wonderful NEW teacher (Faye) who will be teaching you how to make this swirly bracelet made completely of wire! It is really pretty and think it will definitely stand out when you wear it - so be sure to sign up for her class. Then we have another NEW class with Sue on Tuesday night.. Can't wait for that one either... Sue will be teaching her geometric triangle shaped pendant that night... What a cool pendant.... It is definitely a serious eye catcher... I can go on and on about our wonderful classes this month. We are so excited with all of the NEW classes and great teachers we have at Dragonfly.
If you have never met Sue she is wonderful... She is so "Type A" personality and thinks of things before Jay and I can even THINK it... Well her latest idea is an awesome digital picture frame.. She has taken photographs of ALL of her jewelry and it now stands at the shop - so come on by - take a look and let us know what you would like to see for more NEW classes from Sue... She is truly amazing in her talents of creating classes! We have examples of all of our classes now, past and future for you to look at and drool.
We think you will like our other new teachers too because they are excited about teaching at Dragonfly too! Margie and Nancy will be teaching our seed bead classes and they have left us with MANY examples of new class ideas to teach within the next few months... The 1st class is the Twisted Rope Necklace on the 30th - so go ahead and sign up before it fills up.
We also have a new teacher Faye who brings a different angle to wire wrapping. Faye and Sue share a mutual love for wire, but Faye's classes will be geared more towards wrapping wire into intricate spirals, hammering and soldering.
We have SO much to be thankful for in this economy and we must thank customers like YOU for keeping our doors open and for keeping another local business thriving! Thank you for your continued support and for NOT supporting online and big box businesses...

Metals Trunk Show
Wow -- it seems to be the ONLY thing I can say about the metals we will have in this trunk show. These beads and other findings are absolutely A+ in my book! We don't offer anything like these items in the shop -- we have everything from Vintaj, Tierra Cast, Sterling silver findings (Bali, Thai and Israeli) and chain too! We are super excited and hope to see you this week to check it out!
Don't miss out on this show... These items are SO worth it! :)
See you in the shop!
