Fall was here for a while, but summer is making a comeback. I've been riding my bike on the new rail trail that starts near Crosspoint Towers in Lowell and currently ends in the Westford/Acton area. Eventually it will extend to Framingham! What have you been doing with your last warm days?

Stock update! We have a bunch of new seed beads on the wall, a large Czech glass order slowly making its way to the wall, some new Bali silver getting up there too, and restocks of basics like crimps and Softflex. I've also refilled the giant bead bin that so many of you love to pick through.

In mid-October, my stone vendor will be here and you will see new stone beads hitting the wall before Halloween!

Lowell Open Studios is held once a year and features artists throughout the city of Lowell. This year there is also going to be an arts festival downtown.

Over 100 artists at Western Avenue are participating in this year's event. We will be open 11-5 on both Saturday and Sunday, September 26 and 27. Please stop by and visit our vibrant community, which now includes a cafe!

Not to be confused with Lowell Open Studios....don't forget that the Western Avenue Studios building is open the first Saturday of every month. For October, we will be open on Saturday the 3rd from 12-5.
