Closing the Beaducation Shop

**UPDATE***

We will be able to do a few pre-order last minute buys with select vendors. Here's the scoop!

Dear Beaducation Community,

After over 25 years of creativity, learning, and connection, I’m announcing the closure of my supply shop at Beaducation.com. As we all know, the market has changed a lot, and it’s become increasingly tough to keep a small business going. I’ve done a great job cutting expenses to keep up, but trends show it’s only going to get harder - and I’d rather step away on my own terms before things get too rough. Rising costs and shifting buying habits have made it hard to operate the way I used to, and after a lot of reflection, I know it’s time to move in a new direction. Though the shop is closing, I’m still here to support and inspire your jewelry-making journey.

What’s Changing -

• Shop Closure: I will no longer be selling individual tools and supplies through the online store.
• Resource Hub: Beaducation is transforming into more of a resource and education center (back to our roots!) I’ll be offering curated links to trusted suppliers, tool reviews, supply recommendations, inspiring tutorials, and more. Make sure to stay connected through the newsletter and socials!

What’s Staying the Same - 

• Special Orders for Bulk Stamping Blanks: I’m continuing the Special Orders program for bulk stamping blanks. For more info, please reach out to me at cs@beaducation.com.
• Cabochon Sales Continue: Our cabochon sales are still going strong! Join our Facebook Group to participate in our fun and fabulous live sales.
• Free How-To Videos: My extensive library of over 400 free tutorials will remain available on YouTube. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next!

What’s Next -

A SALE, OF COURSE! The site is now 20% off, with a special 60% off section. I’ll continue to add deeper discounts as inventory sells down, so keep checking back for new deals! A few important sale notes:

• Processing Time: Orders may take up to 2 weeks to process during the start of this sale. Need it sooner? Pay for Priority Shipping and email me, I’ll do my best to bump your order to the top.
• Loyalty Points: You’ll no longer earn points, so please use any remaining points now before they expire.
• Free Shipping: Domestic orders over $95 will still ship free.
• Inventory Glitches: If there’s a mistake and you order something that’s actually out of stock (we just counted everything, but hey, it happens!), you’ll be automatically refunded.

To every customer who shopped with me, shared our products, or brought your creative visions to life using my supplies - thank you. Your loyalty and enthusiasm have meant the world. To the employees and collaborators who gave their time, energy, and talent - thank you for being part of something truly special. You helped shape the heart of this shop. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together and so grateful for the memories we’ve made.

Onward to new and exciting things!

Lisa
