In this open-table episode, we talk with Kelly Russell of Beadfuddled, Christi Friesen of Christi Friesen Originals, and Andrew Thornton & William Jones of Allegory Gallery. Join us as we all speak openly and honestly about our lives as makers and artists including how selling, creating, and making a living have changed over the years.
This episode is a bit different than many of our others as it's an open-table format and you're getting an un-censored and inside look at the thoughts and views of these wonderfully creative individuals!
Announcing the Allegory Gallery Bead Society!
We've been working on this idea for quite awhile, and we can't wait to tell you all about it!
At Allegory Gallery, we believe in creating community and doing that with as wide a reach as possible. But, all these things take time and resources. In order to help with this, we're creating the Allegory Gallery Bead Society. There are many benefits to joining, and we think you'll love them!
Benefits of the AG Bead Society:
1. Each month of your membership, you will receive a $20.00 gift coupon code to use in our online store (code must be used in the month provided and all in one order).
2. When you sign up, you will receive a free AG Wooden Pendant of your choice.
3. You will receive access to a special, secret Facebook Group where we (Andrew and William) will post content just for members. This content may be inspirational. Or, we may take you along with us on our travels and give first-look access to the items that we find! We could also post various business tips and tricks—things we've learned over the years that could help you. The possibilities are endless, but, no matter what it is, we want it to be able to add to your experience with us!
What are the dues for this Bead Society? It's only $100.00/year per member. Remember, for that $100.00/year in dues, you're getting $240.00 back in monthly coupons, plus content from us that you won't find anywhere else—and a free wooden pendant for signing up!
Over the years of having our business, we have seen the importance of groups of people coming together with a shared passion. Together we can accomplish so much more.

New Video Tutorial on YouTube!
Here at Allegory Gallery, we love all of our supporters. But, we know that not everyone can visit us in person to make things with us. So, we've started a new project called Video Tutorials. These are available on our YouTube Channel (please don't forget to subscribe), and there are kits in our online store (agbeads.com/jewelrykits) that correspond to the videos. We know it's not as good as being with us in person, but we hope you'll enjoy taking these steps with us! As you probably know, we're super excited about technology, and as time goes on, we can't wait to find new and exciting ways to connect with you all, near and far! Below is the latest video in this series! Please let us know what you think.
2019 Around the Town—Song of Sixpence
Here at Allegory Gallery, we know that the rising tide raises all boats. That's been our motto from the very beginning, and that's how we try to live our lives. A few years ago, we did a series on Facebook called Around Town where we visited our favorite places, stores, and restaurants in town. We have a wonderfully supportive community not only locally, but all over the world, and we wanted to show everyone how great our little town really is! So, after some time, we've decided to bring the series back.
In this episode of our Around the Town Series, we take a look at a really lovely women's clothing store here in Ligonier, Song of Sixpence! Natalie does a great job of curating colorful and fun clothing for her clients, and we think you'll just love this walk through of her clothing boutique—especially the Songlines Jewelry Collection by Jewel!
We thank you for watching this episode of our Around the Town Series, and thank you for supporting our local merchants in Ligonier, PA!
