Twenty two years ago, my son was just a toddler and I was looking for a business that I could run out of our home. I took a jewelry making class for fun and that's where my love of beads began. Prior to having our son, I ran a showroom at the Denver Merchandise Mart and still had access to it. There had been a Czech Bead importer located at the Mart and this is how my online selling began. I fell in love with Czech Beads and began to sell them along with Bali Sterling Silver Beads on Ebay and quickly became a "Power Seller". I have fond memories of loading our son into his stroller and going on bead runs down to Denver to get a bead haul. A few years into selling on Ebay, I discovered Etsy at the suggestion of a customer of mine. This was back in 2006! I was a full time online seller until I had a health crisis that made me need to do some serious healing and self care.

In 2019 I was diagnosed with a benign Menigioma brain tumor and had surgery in September 2019 to have it removed. I had to take a couple of years off and during that time I've been on quite a journey. I'm back and shipping now from sunny Tucson, Arizona where we have relocated to from Colorado. I'm blessed with living in this beautiful Sonoran desert and as a native of Arizona, so happy to be back.
