I posted about the items I purchased from Hip Chick Beads at the Soft Flex Show, but I wanted to tell you a little more about the shop and introduce some of their products too. They have great prices and really unique pieces. If you want to take your jewelry to the next level or have a hard time getting inspired, look here.
http://www.hipchickbeads.com/ (They don't have everything on their site, so you should still try to go to a show, but there is a good selection for sure.) There are great inspiration pieces and all of the charms and metal pieces are so cool.
There are still a few shows left this year, if you live in Wisconsin. Maybe you do, maybe you don't, but either way you can shop on-line or in person!
03/27-28 Madison, WI

http://www.hipchickbeads.com/Here is a sample design from their site, the chain and charms and clasp are available from them.
One of their many fun charms.
By far one of my favorite tools. This is a hole punch for metal, line it up and twist the handles. No real force or effort on your part and you end up with a perfect circle!
http://www.hipchickbeads.com/They even make custom logo charms! I found this on their site and thought it was awesome.
"Q: I HAVE A LOGO; CAN YOU MAKE IT INTO A CHARM FOR ME?
A: But of course! We can do custom work and pledge to keep any designs we may produce for you, confidential and exclusive. To create a piece we need to know what the piece is to look like. We can take your logo and ideas and make some drawings, from which you can choose a design, or you can provide your own artwork "
