Just Nan embellishments (beads, charms, etc) are carefully packaged
and included with the specific design for which they are intended. Extra embellishments packs are
not available or sold separately. The contents of our embellishment packs are
proprietary and under no circumstances released to outside sources. Most are imported, we go out of
our way to provide special and interesting touches to our designs to make them unique to both you
and us.
For earlier designs where the leaflet and embellishment pack were once
separate purchases, Just Nan embellishment packs are no longer available separately from our
leaflets. We are very low on supplies for many items and are forced to coordinate what remains with
the leaflets we have available.
This policy results from one or more the following circumstances:
- Manufacturer discontinued or significantly altered embellishment
item
- Manufacturer out of business - major reason!
- Minumum purchase requirements too high - especially true for items over
2 years old.
We regret having to take this position, but we have no choice. Shops
were advised of our circumstances in early 2008 and alerted several times since then to check their
stock.

Internet Age Developments Affecting our Embellishments Policy
More recently, Eastern European and Chinese web sites encourage uploading of copyrighted
needlework patterns and designs and profit from reselling them. This practice violates all
international copyright agreements!
A Needlework Patrol Organization located in Europe, of which we are a member, monitors this
activity everyday. It is costly and time consuming. We have had good success working with Eastern
European craft and social websites; however, the Chinese sites continue to ignore our requests to
respect our copyrights and continue to promote the illegal resale of all designers' copyrighted
designs.
Given these unfortunate consequences of today's connected world, we find that limiting our
embellishments to only those products we physically kit and distribute provides our only insurance
and protection against this blatant shameful behavior.
