I just finished hammering 20 or so dimes flat and stamping them with words like "faith", "love", and "joy". I'm making these one-of-a-kind charms in preparation for a big new event that Bizzy Beads will be participating in this weekend.

Perhaps you've seen or heard the commercials for St. Louis Holiday Magic on local tv or radio stations? No? Let me tell you a little of what I know about it and about Bizzy Beads's participation in it.

St. Louis Holiday Magic is a new event this year at America's Center (the convention center attached to the Edward Jones Dome). The CVC has brought in a bunch of vendors to create a new holiday shopping experience for the St. Louis area. There will be carnival rides, pet adoption, all sorts of local vendors, and of course, your very own favorite bead shop.

Unfortunately, I can't pack up all the beads in my little VW Jetta and head downtown, but I can take a bunch of kits and handmade goods to sell. So, if you're in downtown St. Louis December 4-6, stop by, say hi, and make a unique gift for that special person on your list.

You can find us 12pm - 9pm on Friday, 10am - 9pm on Saturday, or 11am - 5pm on Sunday! Hope to see you there!
