"Nimble" Janu Gems Returns!
2018-04-25 13:00 - 2018-04-27 15:00 (America/Denver)
Does anyone remember the old Mother Goose rhyme,
“Jack Be Nimble”?
In an age of Tide Pods consumption, candle stick jumping seems somehow quaint, yet only slightly less dangerous.
Regardless, being “Nimble” is obviously a wonderful, positive skill.
Scheduling opportunities bring Theodore, of Janu Gems, back to BDC this week, Wednesday afternoon thru mid-afternoon Friday. (When your wife is the 5th ranked female Sitar player in India, the concert circuit takes one to exotic locations, such as Portland.)
The opportunity to host Janu Gems again, even after he’d been here so recently, we had to jump at the chance. (No candles were harmed.)
Perhaps you missed Janu’s visit earlier this year in early March. Now the cold, dreary and wet weather has finally been replaced by glorious spring. And our ever attentive customers realize that a full 1/3 of the year is past. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Graduations are on the horizon. June Brides won’t be far behind, and those big holidays at the end of the year will be here before you can say “35 weeks.”
Here are some pictures to refresh your memory.

Theodore’s show is Mid-Week this time. More opportunity for you to visit with him.
Better parking. Better weather. Great lunches close by.
We’ll look forward to seeing you here!

Blue Moon Potpourri
2018-03-30 - 2018-03-31
“There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.”
– George Carlin

“Blue Moon Potpourri”
“The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hand.”
– Frederic Lawrence Knowles
“Once in a Blue Moon” is a phrase that identifies something as both Rare and Unusual. While there was a Blue Moon back in January of this year, the next one won’t happen until 2019.
“Potpourri” is a mixture, a combination, an essence.
And a mixture of the New, the Re-Freshed, and the Unusual, (some with 50% Prices) is what BDC is offering for just 2 days, this Friday and Saturday, March 30 & 31.
Where to start?
How about a new, expanded selection of Silk Cording? More Colors, never before featured at BDC.
Craft Wire: We’ve Re-Stocked. More Gauges.
More Individual Beads: Glass, Semi-Precious, and Natural Stones.
All of our Bead Literature, Books & Magazines, 50% OFF.
And don’t miss our Short Strands of Pearls & Semi-Precious: Buy just what you need for your project.
Polymer Clay, Bead Exchange, Lampwork, AND MORE, at 50% OFF as well.

“The final mystery is oneself. When one has weighed the sun in the balance, and measured the steps of the moon, and mapped out the seven heavens star by star, there still remains oneself. Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul?”
– Oscar Wilde

"Happiness," w/ Sara Danielle T.S.
2018-03-24 - 2018-03-25
“The Secret of Happiness is (having) something to do.
– John Burroughs
“How Busy Hands Change Brain Chemistry.” (Link)
Happiness can also be finding a great bargain that enables you to do that special “something.”

Sara Danielle Designs Trunk Show
Strands of Semi-Precious Gems, Findings,
Finished Necklaces, Bracelets, Earrings,
&
Tools.
Sara Danielle is easily the happiest designer that we know. And the smile on her face is reflected in the fresh, clean designs of her necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. She’s bringing all of these with her for her return visit to BDC this weekend.
In addition, she’s also bringing strands of the same semi-precious gems that she uses in her creations, as well as the findings that grace these pieces. You can be inspired by her designs and select the same components to create your own interpretation.
To help you achieve the same techniques she herself uses, Sara is bringing Tools to this show. These are her personal tools, that are looking for new homes. They will also answer the “How” questions. And she’ll be happy to answer your questions about how, exactly, she achieves the result you’re looking for.
Don’t wonder what you missed. Drop in, and be inspired.
Enjoy Art,
Dusti

Just Back From Tucson: Janu Gems @ BDC
2018-03-02 - 2018-03-04
Today, SUNDAY is the LAST DAY !!

http://beadsatdusticreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Casual-Take-3-Janu-Gems-Converted.mp3
A short audio clip interview with Theodore, recorded Friday afternoon.
Yes, Theodore is coming March 2 thru 4. (That’s this coming weekend, by the way.) He’s on his way back to California and just returning from Tucson.
2/26/2018 UPDATE: Well, we now have some New Information about the Trunk Show. Just before going to Tucson, Theodore went to India. While there, he stocked up on round beads of all types and sizes, from 3mm to 8mm. In addition, he is bringing some high-end beads in barrel shapes. He tells me that he’s bringing Green Garnet (one of my favorites), Diamond beads, Sapphire, Tourmaline, Aquamarine, and a variety of Cabochons. (I love cabs!) In Tucson he picked up some items along the line of Emeralds and Spinels. And of course, he also mentioned he’s bringing the ever so mysterious “and more.”
The Great News here is that you have likely meet Theodore before at one of his previous visits so you can just imagine and anticipate the bargains he’s bringing. We also expect his Sales Tables to overflow out onto the main sales floor, giving you lots of treasures to discover. Finally, since Theodore will be here, you’ll have the opportunity to have your questions answered right here, in real-time.
2/28/2018 UPDATE: Theodore sent us more pictures from the field to give you a better idea of what he’s bringing. Take a look:

If you have read to the bottom of this description, I want to reward you with the names of the last two special stones that Theodore is bringing:
Rubies and Tzavorite (A variant of green grossular garnet.) Some of these are pictured above, and are a new addition to his selections.
We’re looking forward to seeing them, and you, in person.

Oh. One final thing. Maybe you’ve never atttended one of Janu Gem’s Trunk Shows before. What to expect? Here is a re-play from his October 2017 visit.

http://beadsatdusticreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Janu-Gems-Oct-2017-Video-Final-Cut_1.mp4

After Theodore sets up on Friday Morning, March 2nd, we’ll take a short walk through the show and post it up, in place of this video. Until then, enjoy!

"Blue Moon" 50% OFF Sale
2018-01-31 - 2018-02-04
There are many apocryphal stories about strange happenings during the Full Moon. Any old regular Full Moon. Like the ones that happen virtually every month. Stories are told of Animals & people doing strange things. More calls for police and medical assistance, etc.
But tomorrow morning, Wednesday, January 31, 2018, at 5:30 AM (PST), the Full Moon will have many more names associated with it: Blue Moon (2nd Full Moon in a calendar month), Blood Moon (because it’s also a Total Lunar Eclipse), Super Moon (because the Moon is at it’s closest to Earth). (A “Trifecta”, (a gambling term) according to a local weather personality. They should know.)
But what does the Moon have to do with Beads? Glad you asked. We’re not exactly sure what happened, but Dusti seems to have been strangely affected. She’s declared that after 12 years, BDC is having it’s First “Blue Moon” Sale. Planets rotate faster than that.

(Actor portrayal. Not actually Dusti.)
For the next 5 days, Wednesday, Jan. 31 thru Sunday, Feb. 4th, there are 50% markdowns on 9 different categories of neat beading items. Several flavors of Beads, All our base-metal Chain, Polymer Clay Beads, Crystals and Crystals w/ Crystals, Lampwork, Tool holders, and Games. We can’t forget the “Animal” bead strings, (colored markings, not likenesses.) nor the treasure trove that Jenn referees to as the “Spontaneous Imagination Station”, (the special priced small packages of orphaned beads, looking for a good home.) Yes, all of these are covered in this Sale.
They say, “A picture is worth a 1000 words.” But this is just a sample. There are many more wonderful examples that just didn’t make the cut for pictures.
Yes, this is a strange and unusual 50% OFF Sale going on at BDC for the next 5 days. That’s even longer than the “Blue Moon.”
SALE is during Regular Business Hours.

No Howling, please.

BDC CLOSED Monday, Jan. 1st, New Year's Day, & Tuesday, Jan. 2nd.
2018-01-01 - 2018-01-02
Yes, BDC will be CLOSED for New Year’s Day. That’s Monday, Jan. 1st.
Tuesday, Jan. 2nd, is our regular CLOSED day each week, so we also be CLOSED Tuesday.
However, we will return to serve all of your Beading Needs on Wednesday, Jan. 3rd.
Happy New Year, to all of you and yours.
Dusti & Eric

Janu Gems Trunk Show
2017-10-27 - 2017-10-29
Janu Gems
is Returning to
Beads at Dusti Creek
If you are looking for exquisite Semi-precious gems for your Christmas Gift projects, this is your opportunity. Theodore always brings the best quality at the best prices, because he sources from overseas and imports directly.
In August he was not able to display everything that he had available, so this time the emphasis will be on cut and faceted semi-precious stones.
(Click on the picture for a closer view)
Strands of stones and other unique items will also be available, but the emphasis will be on these beautiful cut and faceted semi-precocious gems.
This will be his last visit for this year.

June Frances Trunk Show
2017-10-13 - 2017-10-15
June Frances Adornments will be holding a Trunk Show at BDC this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
June has an extensive background in many artistic mediums, but beading has given her the opportunity to create something unique to her: Cording.
In her own words:
Artist’s Statement
“I have sensed the colors, texture, and vibrancy found in nature and the physical world since I was a young girl, growing up in a very artistic family.
My avenues of artistic expression included bead work, (both as sculpture and jewelry), painting, dioramas, collage, found art sculpture, art rocks, and recycled clothing embellishment.
In the early 1980’s I was inspired by a French Canadian man named Papillion. His beaded art featured extraordinary color combinations, using the peyote stitch. I have discovered new techniques as well, as the years passed, studying with Nan C Meinhart to learn both right-angle bead weaving and N’dbele, an African bead art.
For the past dozen or so years, I have been making my own cording which I use to create necklaces that become unique, one-of- a-kind pieces. These necklaces have received wide spread appreciation and are much loved by their owners.
I am now in my 75th year, and my eyes are not what they once were, so I am passing on most of my carefully selected beads. I hope you find many treasures to enjoy in the varied stock from my delightful years of beading art.”

Drop in this weekend. You’ll find a selection that will be hard to beat.

Friendship Day, Sunday, July 30, 2017
2017-07-28 - 2017-07-30
Int’l Friendship Day – 2017, lands on Sunday, July 30. Are you ready?
If you weren’t aware of Friendship Day, well, neither was I, because it was only first recognized in 2011. And if you initially suspect that it’s in the same category as “National Lasagna Day” (July 29th), or “National Cheesecake Day”, (also July 30th), I agree. As much as I enjoy both Lasagna and Cheesecake, I’m not quite sure they merit a special day of recognition.
But Friendship, well, that is completely different.

“The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing… not healing, not curing… that is a friend who cares.” Henri Nouwen

We live in turbulent times, when friends are even more important and more precious than ever. So precious, in fact, that I am reminded of the words of Thomas Jefferson, “I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.”
So what is the best way to observe Friendship Day? Does it require some commercialized, over-the-top production, on the scale of Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s? While every friendly relationship is unique, a simple acknowledgement seems most appropriate. A card, a letter, a phone call, an email, a text, a hug are all meaningful, yet low-key.
We feel so strongly about the importance of friends that we’re willing to put some skin in the game. As a tangible gesture of Friendship, you might consider a small token of jewelry, from our ready-made selection. Unique, hand-crafted necklaces, earrings or bracelets created in our shop by our talented staff: No duplicates, no mass marketed pieces. And for the next three days, Friday thru Sunday, 20% OFF.
But regardless of how you celebrate, remember the words of Robert Louis Stevenson, “A friend is the gift you give yourself.”

Victoria Perkins, Designer

Trunk Show
‘Beading, …. with a Couture Touch!’

Answering The Eternal Question: “What do I Wear with This?”

Want Pictures?

Yes, Victoria Perkins is a “Bead Collector.”

But what a collection! What beads!

Victoria has assembled her collection with beads from some of the best lampwork
artists in the world. Her collection includes the work of such recognized names
as Melani Moertel, Manuela Wutschke, Anja Basan, of Anastasia Beads, & Corina Tettinger, of Corinabeads. Sometimes a collection begs to be something
more, something bigger. Victoria selects from her world-class collection to create
stunning pieces, accenting the clothing designs of such notable couture designers
as Elsie Katz Design, and featured as part of LA’s Fashion Week. (Can you say, “Runway”?) Other pieces of her work are found in private collections across the
country. In addition, some of her finished pieces will be available as well, here at BDC.

Whether your interest is in lampwork by top-name artists, or finished couture pieces,
there will be something for everyone, and at every price point.

Victoria will be happy to suggest complimentary beads, findings, and materials to
finish off your own design.

It’s just the designer in her.

Bastille Day Celebration - 2017
2017-07-14 11:00 - 2017-07-16 16:00
The French and the Americans have a long history of cooperation, dating back to before the American Revolution, in 1776. French support took the form of both recognition of the fledgling American Republic, as well as with arms.
Perhaps the most valuable French contribution to the American struggle was the help provided by Marquis de Lafayette, who served as an invaluable aid to General George Washington.
General Washington & Marquis de Lafayette at Valley Forge.
BDC is pleased to join our next-door neighbor, Petite Provence French Bistro, in celebration of Bastille Day, July 14.
Beginning Friday, July 14th and running through Sunday, July 16th, BDC Customers that spend $100 will receive a $30 Gift Certificate to Petite Provence, valid anytime. If you haven’t tried Petite Provence yet, you are in for an tasty treat.
At BDC, we have two Trunk Shows running currently. The first, “Bulk Findings” offers assorted bags of high quality base metal findings, at $5 per bag, or $12 for 3 bags. The second is a large selection of Polymer Beads, in milifiori designs, from the estate of Barb Klabunder. Barb created these by hand with the help of her husband, Dick Miller. Each bead is hand-crafted and unique. We’ll be adding additional pictures before Friday.

This Weekend, starting tomorrow, Friday thru Sunday, we will be hosting 5 unique local Portland Artists.
Beautiful “Wear-ables” by Judee Moonbeam. Her bags, hats, scarfs are just stunning statements.
David V Horste: Lapidary extraordinaire. Pendant Focal Beads in Colors, Textures, Materials almost too numerous to count. David distills his gift of gab into Focal Beads that are sure-fire conversation starters.
Seth Fullerton creates beautiful ladies skirts and dresses that could be called ‘retro – chic” design, using wonderful woolens and then fully lining them with silk. Who does that anymore?
Susan Borts: A Bead Artists, who uses beads like paint. They don’t have necklaces at Nordstrom’s that make a statement like Susan’s. Dusti received one of Susan’s pieces, aptly named, “Crocodile Tears” for Valentines day. She Loves it!
Sine Morse: I never knew that Collage could be so exciting. Sine give her pieces a 3-D effect (No, they really are 3-d. There is no “effect”.) You will be charmed. I guarantee it.
