Beads At Dusti Creek

BDC CLOSED on Tuesdays
2024-05-14, 2024-05-21, 2024-05-28, 2024-06-04, 2024-06-11, 2024-06-18, 2024-06-25, 2024-07-02 and 4 more dates
We’re CLOSED on Tuesdays. It’s the one day each week that we rest, relax, and take stock.
Tuesday closures were not chosen at random: Traditionally, Tuesdays have had the lowest number of Customer visits of any day of the week. And we want to be at our best when you do come in.
We look forward to serving all of your beading needs on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or any other day of the week.
Just not Tuesdays. 🙂

Janu Gems Trunk Show, Wed. - Fri. May 22-24
2024-05-22 11:00 - 2024-05-24 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Wednesday thru Friday, this Week
Beads at Dusti Creek
Welcomes a
Janu Gems Trunk Show

You already know that Theodore brings
Plenty of High-Quality Beads,
At all price points.
BUT …

What’s Special for This Visit?
Spoiler Alert: The Tuscon International
Gem & Mineral Show just ended.
So expect Great Prices
& Even More Selection!)

Theodore always brings Semi-precious, Precious, Natural Stones & Pearls personally selected during his trips to the sub-continent.

This time, he’s bringing hanks of “micro-faceted” semi-precious seed beads. Like regular seed beads, except with an attitude.

But there will be other pieces that will surprise you. Totally Spectacular in every way. Opals, Red Spinal Strands, Tsavorite Green Garnet, Chrysoprase, Rose cut Sapphires, Lavender Turquoise, London Blue Topaz, Bi-Color Tourmaline, Boulder Opal, and on and on, etc.

And while the price tag sometimes says, “Breath Taking,” Theodore also always brings strands at more affordable prices. Something for every budget.
Many of our Customers have shopped with Theodore before. And they look forward to his visits. They know that what distinguishes him from others is that you can talk directly to the individual who sourced and imported the very beads you’re considering. And they know that he stands behind his offerings. He has to. He will be coming back and wants to earn your repeat business.

We think all these factors combine to create a marvelous Value & Opportunity for you, our customers.
Our classroom will overflow for three days (this Friday through Sunday), with even more tables extending onto the main floor. (Why do you think he brought that BIG van?)

There are plenty of exceptional offerings, & all at extraordinary prices.
So, would it be inaccurate to call Theodore a “Rock” Star?

The old adage says, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”

BDC CLOSED - MONDAY - Memorial Day
2024-05-27

We will re-open on Wednesday, May 29th, at 11 AM.

BDC CLOSED July 4th
2024-07-04
BDC CLOSED for Independence Day, July 4th.

We pause this 4th of July to remember the courage, strength, and perseverance of Molly Pitcher, during the Battle of Monmouth. Stepping in to load and fire the cannon when the regular gun crew was killed and injured, she remained calm under enemy fire. This was not part of her normal training or experience, but she was no shrinking violet. And yet she was nimble enough to get the job done. She even earned recognition from General Washington.

We believe that creative problem solving such as found in bead work, (planning, design, and execution) nurtures the creative muscle, and helps make the mind more nimble. So we celebrate Molly Pitcher this 4th of July.
Stay Nimble.

Thai Silver Trunk Show w/ Niki Passenier
2024-08-02 - 2024-08-04
N!X is the brand name of the Belgian designer
Niki Passenier’s exclusive line of fine silver beads
and findings. Based in Chiang Mai, Niki has been
collaborating closely with the traditional
silversmiths from the Karen Hill Tribe in northern
Thailand for more than twenty years. Today, Niki is still in partnership with the same families of tribal artisans whom she started out with in the late ’90s. Her long-standing relationship with the Karen
artisans bear testimony to her adherence to the
principles of fair trade long before it became a
buzzword. The artisans handcraft Niki’s unique
designs of fine silver beads, pendants, and
components, which she uses to create exquisite
pieces of jewelry. Niki’s partnership with the tribal
silversmiths have been instrumental in developing
a sustainable cottage industry for the Karen Hill
Tribe that allows them to work from home while
providing a meaningful livelihood for their families.
