Hi, welcome to our shop! We are so excited to be here, to be able to sell our creations! We are Leni and Michelle Schroeder, sisters-in-law, who absolutely adore creating unique jewelry. We particularly enjoy using lampwork beads (especially by B.C. artists) and Swarovski crystal. (So basically, anything sparkly.)

Leni (pronounced Laney)
I started making jewelry in 2007, after seeing a local artist selling her original lampwork beads and jewelry at the Rock & Gem Show in Abbotsford, B.C. I found a tutorial for a bracelet and that’s how it all started. Over the years, my designs have evolved, my technique has improved and I find it more and more fulfilling. I’ve been attending the Fraser Valley Bead Show every year since. Up till now, jewelry has just been a hobby, and I’ve hardly given a thing away (everything’s so pretty, I want to keep it all!). But, I’ve come to realize that I need to share with others as I can’t wear everything I make (there are, after all, only 365 days in a year).
I work at a library in the Fraser Valley, and adore my job. My co-workers have been encouraging me to sell my work, and I have finally decided to answer the call.
Favourite materials: lampwork glass beads, crystals, gunmetal, silver, and oh, whatever else catches my fancy

Michelle
In 2010, I met Leni and saw all of her beautiful pieces that she had made; so I asked her to teach me. I've loved doing it ever since; I consider it another creative outlet that adds more variety other than drawing in a sketchbook.
