Dear Friends,
After nine years of serving the Maplewood/South Orange community, The Beaded Path is making a transition. This transition is based on a personal desire and vision to focus my time on jewelry design, jewelry reconstruction/ repair an my own spiritual practice and ministry. My new line of jewelry will be called The Beaded Path…Jewelry for the Journey and will be sold at a new local boutique.

Over the next few weeks you will see the following happening at The Beaded Path. We will begin offering deep discounts on the entire store inventory. You can still sign up for individual lessons and our restringing/repair service will continue.

Some of our services will be refocused and we curtailing worktable projects, as well as parties and classes, so that we may give our attention to the changes that are underway. We will also be adjusting our hours over the next month or so. The ultimate plan is to close down the Village Plaza retail space and refocus on the above mentioned through virtual sales or other venues.

Gift Certificates will be honored through the end of October, 2012.

Please know with us that this decision is not an ending to something but a beginning of something greater. We are grateful to all that have supported and served us over the years.

Please stay posted for upcoming details, store changes including hours and discount events which will be advertised through email, on the website and at the store itself.

Gratefully,
Jennifer Berkeley
The Beaded Path, Owner
And, George
