Free Materials

Hey Gang. Here is a rare opportunity. I had a client drop off 11 boxes of colour sorted dishware. It's amazing! But as most of you know our store is TINY! Contact me if you would like this material. Only catch, you have to take it all.

Cheers, Tanya

Smalti

Have you ever had problems with the smalti images on www.mosaicbeach.com? Yeah, I though so. They sucked! Check it out now...we have perfected the photo technique (ok, let's just say it's WAY better) and I will be updating all of the colours today. If you need some smalti you'd better get it while it's hot. Due to the Canadian dollar tanking over the last few months I am going to have to raise the smalti price when we get our new order in January. :(

Oh! And since I am placing that order next week please let me know if there are any colours that you need and I can tack them on!
