I used to collect and sell poker chips on ebay, it was fun but then decided to sell my entire collection, except 1 or 2 and set out looking for another venture.

I stumbled upon beautiful beads and just had to have them!! In my teens I made jewelry out of jute, shells and beach glass. I also made awesome mobiles from driftwood and shells,sand dollars. Those were the days, I grew up on the beach, had horses and rode them in the sand dunes, which are all gone now, along the shorline and stummbled onto a drop off where the horses and me on top could swim. it was heavenly!!!

Anyway, back to the beads, I decided to try my hand at making jewelry again. It took me awhile to learn proper technices but I got videos and magazines that got me going in the right direction and here I am today.
