Cherry Blossom Live: Five Petals

Before cherry blossoms had a name, there was a goddess, a warrior, and a stone. This spring, we've built a Cherry Blossom collection that tells a story over a thousand years old — from the Shinto goddess Konohanasakuya-hime to the samurai who wore sakura on their armor, from the raden shell artists of the Nara period to the etched gemstone beads on your workbench today. The collection is live now with nearly 80 pieces of cherry blossom agate, etched sakura quartz, carved shell blossoms, and sterling silver charms. Browse it, fall in love, start imagining what you'll make. But we've been holding something back. On Friday, March 6th, we're revealing five hand-picked pieces that have never been on the online store. Five ways the cherry blossom shows up: in stone, in shell, etched by hand, cast in metal, and held close to the heart. Each one threads into the story. Together, they complete it. Join us live to meet them for the first time — and to hear the stories behind why these five were chosen. The Japanese call it mono no aware: the beauty that breaks your heart because it cannot stay. These petals won't wait.

Tin Box Ep. 52: Tiny Beads, Big Legacy

In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, this episode of What's in My Tin Box tells the story of seed beads — from Bohemian glass-making traditions to the extraordinary precision of Japanese manufacturers like Miyuki and Toho. Every tiny bead you hold carries centuries of craftsmanship and cultural heritage. Jamie will feature heritage-inspired seed bead mixes in curated colorways — Sakura pinks, Jade Garden greens, Pacific blues, Golden Bamboo ambers, and deep Indigo — alongside Tahitian pearls and jade pieces that celebrate Pacific Islander artistry. This is a love letter to the people who make the small things perfect. Premium Ohana members receive 10% off all TINBOX-tagged products. Whether you're a seasoned seed beader or just discovering the magic of these tiny glass treasures, join us live on YouTube for an episode that honors the hands behind the art.
