Summer 2023 Inspiration Box, Volume 27 is coming out June 1st.

 Kinga's Inspiration Box has been going on for 27 volumes, Peeps! 

That's a long time. It being a quarterly issued product, this means 6.75 years.

There were no beady Inspiration Boxes before mine, because I came up with the name Kinga's Inspiration Box. These days you can get "inspiration boxes" from many other sources who seem to be very inspired by the  now generalized term which I of course did not trademark. In an ideal world, adults -selling their own products-could perhaps come up with their own name for their own products. Instead of lifting the Inspiration Box from Kinga's Inspiration Box maybe there could be a variety of names like "Stacy's Bead Shenanigans or Joy's Beady Rainbow of Joy. ... Contact me for name recommendations??! My lexical creativity knows no boundaries.

 My Inspiration Box is worthwhile emulating, I suppose? Language is so malleable. Q-tip, Xerox and Zipper were all unique names for original products which were then genericized. I suspect I ought to be flattered to be in such company. If my livelihood did not depend on it, I would be a lot more flattered every time I see someone calling their product "inspiration box".

The assortment of crystals, handmade items by fellow artists, Czech shaped beads oftentimes combined with seed beads and freshwater pearls with the addition of two images to get my customers inspired, has been a hallmark of my Inspiration Box. So has the card to come from me and my dogs. Up till this Summer 2023 issue for 6 years now, the box has arrived to you in a  jewelry box with pictures carefully pasted  on top the box and inside the lid. 

This time around I decided to do something different and change my packaging up. I am not sure if it will be a permanent change or just an exuberant exploration.

The theme this time is flying elephants. More than that, elephants assisted by balloons in their flight. I found a zippered pouch featuring flying elephants. I am pleased with its look but I am not sold on its durability. Definitely more useful than a paper box, but I will look for a better quality if I am to keep using zippered pouches instead of pretty boxes. 

Here are some sneaky peeks from the box this time. 

Two items from Green Girl Studios.  

 Then, some flying elephant themed glass cabochons....

The inspirational images are a key part of my box.

 Even though I changed the packaging this time around, I added inspiring images on beautiful cards which you will find inside the flying elephant pouch.

Besides the usual  beady supply suspects for creating beautiful jewelry with; this time around you will also be getting a fancy schmancy tape measure:

On a matter of everyone, and their grandma's "inspiration boxes". Fortune favors the bold. Who am I to complain about competition just because most of my competitors needed to buy Kinga's Inspiration Box to come up with "their version"? I am sure people will find enjoyment and value in those products too. It's just beads.  They should bring joy.

For me, my livelihood depends on beads so all I can hope for it your continued support, Beady Friend.
