(Be sure and check out ALL the Pics at the bottom of this post.)

​​Nancy Gant’s “Simply Lampwork” Studio
will be at BDC
Friday & Saturday, March 6th & 7th,
for 2 DAYS ONLY .
The last time Nancy visited
BDC was a little over a year ago,
and this is her only scheduled
appearance in Portland for the rest of 2020.

You may have met her on a previous visit,
and would have seen the wonderful & whimsical
Fauna & Flora that she creates
with a flame and some special glass.

So, what has she been up to?

She’s expanded her repertoire.

The cute rabbits above are part of Nancy’s
New “Mix ‘n Match” 3 piece bunnies sets
that let you assemble them any which way,
to suit your fancy.

There are also new “Ocean Moon” & “Forrest Scene”
Focal Beads that now feature Dichroic enhancement.

She has added a whole new family of delightful Dragons.

Nancy’s signature “Flower” Focal Beads
now feature “Double-Sided Bouquets”.

And, of course, all of the Fanciful & Fun Creatures that
Nancy is noted for will also be in the house.

Friday, 11 AM – 6 PM.
Saturday, 10 AM – 5 PM.
These “thematically correct” Easter Bunnies are “Mix ‘n Match”, that is they come in 3 pieces, so you can select the head, body, and legs in any combination you like !!

He’s been adding to his collection of Natural & Semi-Precious Stone Beads, as well as Pearls, and finished pieces, including Amber Necklaces.
His next visit to BDC is This Weekend, for 2 Days Only, Saturday and Sunday, January 25, and 26.
A Key word for this visit is “Cabochon.” But, as usual, there will be BEADS Galore.
Theodore will also have many of the other natural and semi-precious stone Beads for which he is so well known.
We didn’t have enough time to photograph his new acquisitions, but here are some stock photos of the categories of new treasures that are on their way to BDC.

Special Pricing on Large Size Beads. These are entry level beads that are priced by the gram, rather than by the strand. The result is that they will be sold at up to 75% OFF their Retail price.
He did sent along some candid shots from a recent show, featuring some of the special items that he’ll be bringing for you, our customers.

And there will be plenty of your favorites.
Yes. It’s an “Event.” Anytime Janu Gems is at BDC !
