The response to our Prayer Workshop in The Upper Room has been phenomenal! I have been so amazed and humbled by it. We have had record visits to our blog (almost 1,000 each day), fielded a vast number of comments and questions about prayer beads, and handled an unprecedented number of sales in our Etsy shop. Wow! I am thrilled with your excitement about prayer beads, and joyful about your interest in finding ways to go deeper in your relationship with God. I spent today feeling exceedingly grateful to God for all of these blessings!
The only drawback to all of this is that we have not been able to keep up with the demand for prayer beads in our Etsy store! While we are thrilled with the increase in sales we are sorry that we have not been able to keep our store as well-stocked as we usually do. We can assure you that we are knee-deep in beads and are working on new designs every evening. In addition, I will be attending a bead show this weekend where I will have the chance to buy lots and lots of new beads (heaven!). I promise to have new designs posted to our shop by this Monday.
Thanks for your patience and – again – for your excitement!
Peace, Kristen
Looking forward to prayer beads being available for purchase.
Thanks! I bought some gorgeous beads at the bead show today and am already working on new designs! I will post them tomorrow.

I was so thrilled to read about your prayer beads in The Upper Room. For many years I have wanted to fashion some type of Protestant rosary, and researched color and stone significance. I ordered a set today and can’t wait to get started on my own journey. It’s so wonderful to know that you share my heart for this. Blessings to you!
Pat –
I love knowing about your interest in the rosary over the years. I hope that one day you will make your own set. It is a wonderful way to connect your creativity with your prayer life. Meanwhile, I hope you are enjoying your prayer beads!
Peace,
Kristen
