We're opening a new bead shop in Albuquerque Old Town. Here is some of the progress toward opening day. |
![]() | Our shop is on the second floor of the Plaza Don Luis, across from the Albuquerque Old Town Plaza. |
![]() | We got the shop key today. |
![]() | The shop bathroom needs some serious work. |
![]() | The slat wall arrives. |
![]() | Clarence, a godsend, helps us install slatwall. |
![]() | Furnishings are arriving in pieces. |
![]() | The display case is finally all together with 3 new glass legs. (We broke them in the move.) That was a pretty penny! |
![]() | We're calling this our "idea corner." It's a place for classes, tired feet, reading back issues of beading magazines, packaging beads, or snacking. The Southwestern style cushions were custom made for the Mexican chairs. |
![]() | The shop sign is made of ceramic tile. The artist is a native american, and the ceramic glaze is applied to imported Italian tile. |
![]() | Moving in - Paul, did you make this mess? |
![]() | Still plenty to do, but we're finally open for business. See the final results here. |
