Wrapping up 2023!

Oh my, it’s just a few days until 2024–can you believe it? For me, it feels like this year has flown by! My family and I started this year in Portugal, moved back to the US in the summertime, and are now fully immersed in our life and community here near Los Angeles. What a whirlwind! If you too have had major life changes this year, I hope that you are now at a point where you can sit back and relax a bit and look to the future with hopeful, excited eyes while reflecting on all you have done in 2023.

At Beadaholique, 2023 was the year of the Deal of the Week promotions and the weekly free beading patterns (exclusively for our email subscribers). As a designer, I had the pleasure of picking out the deals and the patterns–so much fun! For all of those who took advantage of the deals and enjoyed the free patterns–thank you! I hope you had fun designing with them and creating the patterns. In this last week of 2023, we are featuring our last free pattern and our last Deal of the Week. We are wrapping up these two programs and have other exciting things in the works. We can’t share the details just yet but stay tuned for exciting updates in the coming weeks.

We also welcomed our wonderful guest designer Deb Floros to the Beadaholique family. She brings her superb stringing skills along with her other jewelry making talents to the team. It has been such a delight to work with and learn from her. You can learn more about her and her work here:  Etsy, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok (debluvsdesigns), Pinterest, and YouTube!

In 2023, we launched tons of new products to spark all our creativity. One of my favorite things has to all the Gardanne Beads pendants, charms, and links. They are so beautifully colored and add an artisan feel to any design.

If you have things you would love to see happen in 2023, please share them in the comments. These can be your personal aspirations that you want to put out in the world or things you would like to see happen at Beadaholique. Share your thoughts with us! We would love to hear them.

Cheers to 2023 and hello to 2024!
