    Susan, you are absolutely right….I’ve had to put off a lot of different projects because of lack of supplies in town…it’s so great to know there is something downtown!! :-D

    Hehehe….Moose Jaw is in the southern central part of Saskatchewan…and Saskatchewan is in the middle of Canada. Since hockey is a big part of Canadian culture….we say H E double hockey sticks!!!
    This is a very funny song by the comedian John Wing and this is an actual video of someone driving around town. Apparently, this comedian put on a show he and it wasn’t well received; that’s why he did this song….or so the story goes. Comedians make fun of our town all the time!

    That’s awesome Elaine. It’s fantastic to hear about a new local bead shop opening in this economy.

    Elaine aka Belly Chick says:

    Thanks Kevin!! I must say, though, that the few gemstones that they had there do not compare to Lima Beads’ at all!!! :-D

    Yipee Elaine – how exciting! It is great to have a local bead store for those things you have run out of and need right now! And I agree as well about the gemstones – LB has better quality and price than most of the local bead stores in my area.

    Elaine, what a fab and fun pick to celebrate Moose Jaw having their very own LBS!!! Nothing like it when you need something right away — but you are so right about the quality of LB’s gems!!!Having an LBS is great, too, for taking classes, since LB hasn’t figured out a way for us to take them via their site!

    BTW, my hubby is convinced I could open up my own bead shop and call it the Indiana Branch of Lima Beads!!! ROTFLOL

  14. Elaine aka Belly Chick
    Elaine aka Belly Chick says:

    Hi Lynn….how are you doing? Hey….maybe LB will want to expand and open a second location….Indiana sounds like a good place to start!!!
    BTW, I smiled when I read your abbreviation; LBS also stands for Liquor Board Store (at least up here in Canada)….we could drink some Bailey’s Irish Creme while we bead?!!! :-D

    Definitely exciting news, Elaine. I love running in to the local to match up crystals little pearls. And I’m always running out 3mm ss rounds.

    Besides, I can always check out the gems locally, then buy from LB.

    Cute arrangement and the comments had me laughing last night!
