Did You Know?
Immortelle (pronounced i-mor-'tel) jewelry and wreaths are
often fashioned from beaded flowers, hairweaving and in the
case of jewelry, jet beads. A search in ebay of "mourning wreath"
or "mourning jewelry" will bring up a wealth of examples.
Linda Sampson, a New Orleans artist specializes in immortelle
art often incorporating beaded flowers into her work. Linda
creates altar installations at a New Orleans Hotel for St.
Joseph's Day (March 19) and All Saints Day (November 1) incorporating
her beaded flowers and wreaths.

Web Site Changes
You'll notice that the home page has been redesigned to make
it easier to get to the category you want.
Let me know what
you think . . . comments, suggestions, etc.
There's also a change in how the shopping cart handles
shipping. Since shipping is based on the weight of your
order, it's much easier to add the correct charge after
your order has been packed and weighed. This way
you'll be charged the correct amount with no refunds or
extra charges required. Most orders will fit into a
United States Postal Service flat rate envelope which
is $3.85 to anywhere in the US. You only pay for
shipping exactly what it costs for me to mail the
order to you, no extra handling charges.
If you have any questions just ask!
