We celebrated Kit Day this week. Kit Day is the day we release our newest themed collection of beading supplies. We also unbox our previous mystery jewelry making kit and make something special on our social media channels. Kit Day is full of inventive jewelry designs and creative exploration. Come tour the Moroccan Bazaar with us and then gear up for our new Safari trip!
