Once again, we've made it through the year to December - who would have thought! It's all hands on deck around here with four December birthdays (and a few November and January ones too!). Read on to find the instructions to our ever popular Swarovski Christmas tree earrings (oh the sparkle!) and links to all of the packs available on our site. We also have details of when we'll be closed over Christmas.

 

As the craziness of December descends, please remember to take time to enjoy yourself, and to find some time out in the day to just breathe! We hope you and your loved ones have an enjoyable month, and if we don't see you before the end of the year - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This month our exquisite shell bead strands are on sale - normally $4 per strand, they are marked down to only $1 per strand. On sale until the end of the month (in store until the 24th, online until the 31st!). See some of our favourites below or browse the entire category.

A classic project that continues to be immensley popular with everyone, this sparkly Swarovski project is super quick and simple to put together, so there is still plenty of time to make these in time for the big event!

Our shops (Cheltenham & Toomuc Valley) and our website will be closed for the Christmas period. We will be closed from Wednesday 25th December through to Wednesday 1st January, reopening at 10am on Thursday 2nd January. We will also be closing early at 4pm on our final day (24th December).

Thank you for your support this year - we hope you have a safe and happy holidays - from all of the team at Eureka! Beads :)

In the meantime, however, our stores continue to be open 10am - 5pm, Monday to Saturdays (closed Sundays), and our online store is pumping out orders daily.

Despite a cool start to summer here in Victoria, it is important to remember that it is now summer, and the days will start to warm up.

Our original 'country' shop is located in picturesque Toomuc Valley, which is a beautiful rural area, with plenty of wildlife and trees in the surrounding areas. Those of us that work at the Toomuc store live further in the surrounding hills, in communities where fire preparation is an important part of life.  As such, we have decided that we will now be closing our Toomuc Store on CODE RED & EXTREME Fire Danger Days.

This does not affect our Cheltenham store hours at all, but may affect the speed in which we get internet orders to you (we pack all of our orders from our Toomuc store). We will advertise any closures on our website and on Facebook - if you're ever unsure if we are open on a particular day, please call us before coming out on (03) 5941 1671.
