More Books!

That's right we have more books in, just in time for the holidays. Any of these wonderful books will make a great gift for friends or even for yourself. What a perfect time to buy one of these and spend this weekend starting projects for holiday gifts.





With so many to choose from how will you decide? We know~choices, choices, choices!

So many things to talk about, so little time...

For now, let's start with books, glimmer, and magazines.

If any of you soldering ladies out there who are stuck for gift ideas...
you gotta have this book! Sally Jean Alexander solders just about everything.
Even the book alone is a great gift for the holidays, and a little ribbon and a little bling,
the possibilities are endless!
This is another wonderful book that we have had to reorder.
When we first got this book in I was inspired by the pictures and of course Kim was inspired
by the writing. Go figure!
Soon we will be hosting a series of classes based on this fabulous book. Keep an eye out on the website for upcoming details.

And GLIMMER MIST...it's finally here in a rainbow of glimmering colors.
If you have a color in mind that you need, give us a call to hold it for you. These will
fly outta here quicker than Donner can kick Blitzen. Those silly reindeer!

We have ordered this issue of Somerset's Marie for the third time. We have had a resurgence of Marie Antoinette here at the store. With this magazine you'll go MA (Marie Antoinette) crazy. Have you seen our holiday tree? Decked out to the nines with fancy MA tags, chandelier crystals, glittered and stickled birds and PINK lights.

The latest issue of Haute Handbags~ this is the first time we have ordered this one, we want to see if we should keep it around, so let us know what you think!

More Somerset Life to tie us over until the new issue comes out. So many great ideas in this one. I went over to the bookcase to show a customer a couple of weeks ago and had no idea that we were completely out of them...so now we have more.

We have many more new and restocked items in the store but I have had many technical issues this past couple of weeks. These pictures I took from other sites. Yikes!
Next week I promise I will blog about the new products that have come in and we have even more coming in next week! ~j

Come into the shop today~ buy 13 items and you'll 13% OFF your entire purchase!
How lucky is that?
We will also be open until 8:00 P.M. for Friday Night Out in Downtown Mesa.

From Modest Beginnings...



All the hard work...

Moving, unloading, hammering, and stocking...

Through all the crazy times...

Up until now.



There isn't another person in the world I'd have rather shared the journey with than Kim.
She has worked many long hours to help get Mystic Paper where it is today. And now she's officially retiring! Can you believe it? Kim will be here off and on until the end of the year, and if you are lucky you'll be able to visit a bit with her and to wish her a happy retirement.

Kim, you have been here everyday to make me laugh and to help share all the work! I will miss you my wonderful friend. And thanks again for letting me buy the BIG scissors. Love you!
