EdBdBeads's Profile

Bio

Welcome to my bead boutique! My name is Carrie and I'm an artist living in Eugene, Oregon with my husband and two mischievous felines. It's anyone's guess where we'll be in a few years but wherever we are, I'll be beading. An elderly Yup'ik Eskimo in the Alaskan Bush taught me to bead when I was 19. It has since become my primary creative outlet. All of my items have been handmade with love and infinite patience, and I'm excited to share them with you, either as a gift for yourself or someone you love.

*If you can dream it, I can make it! Feel free to send me your custom order. If you see an item on my page but would prefer different colors, beads, or findings, let me know and I'd be happy to create your own special piece.

*For international customers, I'd be happy to ship almost anywhere in the world. Just contact me if you'd like to make a purchase, and I'll give you a shipping quote.

*For anyone who wants to purchase a single item from a jewelry set, I can certainly accommodate you. Again, just contact me with your request and I'll edit my listing or create a new one to allow you to purchase your item.

*Your item will always ship within 48 hours of receipt of payment. If possible (for example, if you use instant payment with Paypal), I'll ship your item the day you purchase it. Please allow 7-10 days to receive your package and specify if you'd like to purchase insurance. I will pay to insure all purchases of at least $50.

*I'll accept returns for 30 days; after that, contact me and we'll discuss it. Remember that these items are handmade to last but they aren't indestructible. Please care for them well so they'll last a lifetime.

*If you'd like to view or buy any of my tapestry patterns (including the one for the horse above on my banner), you can do so on bead-patterns.com, a website for which I'm a designer. The direct link for my patterns is http://www.bead-patterns.com/shop/shop.php?designer=Carrie%20Stokes (copy and paste to your browser). While you're there, don't forget to browse through the many incredible patterns available from other designers.

Thanks so much to my customers for your continued support!
