I know that might sound silly, considering the terrible fires and other natural disasters going on in the world. No matter who you are, difficulties seem to come all too frequently in life. You'd think we'd all be masters at handling them, at some point.
I'll speak for myself, here. I doubt I will ever master dealing with difficulties; I'm not good at suddenly 'shifting gears." But...I'm better at it than I used to be.
You know...taking time to zone out with some new beads is often just what the doctor ordered. Some regular down time helps us to regroup....and keep going!

People ask:
What's the difference between our Etsy shop and the B'sue Boutiques website?
Many customers shop both our website and our Etsy, and we're happy to combine orders.
At Etsy, we don't consciously restock anything. It's catch-as-catch can. Some things are one lot only....but we may have multiples of others. Try to come and look often so you don't miss anything!
As for price, the prices are the same both places unless we are clearing something. But boxlot
deals tend to be at Etsy!
Better price on everything else will almost always be at the *website* because I can offer better discounts there.
At the end of last year we took a hard look at Etsy fees, all the free shipping we have to give away with smaller orders, etc....and we realize the only discount we can give at Etsy and keeping going, is 10%. We *do* have free US shipping at 35.00 though (that's an Etsy thing, they request it and they boost you in the searches if you comply) At the site it's 50.00.
Etsy tells us, oh, just raise your price. Hmmm. I hate to do that unless I have to, and I'm not into playing head games with people.
Also, our Etsy shop is much smaller than the website.
We have multiples of most everything at
B'sue Boutiques website.....and we DO try to restock as much as we can, there.
Shop with us at the website to get mixed media product, chain, findings, ribbon, lace, brass stampings, zinc castings, cameos, all kinds of mounts, vintage-look items....and GOBS OF BEADS!! Tools, too.
I'm just getting started with what's there!
And I guess that's the difference!
