Visit to Beads Factory – Miyuki Haul & Anniversary Giveaway

Earlier this month, my fiance Navid and I visited my family in Japan, and on our way there, we stopped at a store called Beads Factory in Tokyo.  See this lovely shop and what I bought AND giveaway details in the video 🙂

Beads Factory has an amazing selection of Miyuki beads. Miyuki is a company famous for its high quality beads and other beading products. I especially love their hex-cut beads, which are used often in high quality belly dance costumes. These beads are cut in hexagon shape, and because of the flat sides on the surface of each bead, they reflect light so much more than other seed beads.       

Unfortunately they don’t ship their products overseas. You can find a limited selection of Miyuki products in bead stores in North America as well. So if you ever visit Japan, I highly recommend you visit their stores! (They have stores in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima)    

Happy Birthday, Sparkly Belly!

Now I’m happy to tell you that Sparkly Belly just celebrated its first year anniversary, and I really couldn’t have continued my work at Sparkly Belly without your support. So to show my appreciation, I’m going to give 1 lucky winner Miyuki beads that I brought back – bugle beads in black AB and hex cut beads in lavender colour, and other supplies that would go with them – a pear-shaped swarovski rhinestone in crystal AB and Czech druk beads in smokey grey.
