My shop is the product of over 17 years of beading experience including more than 9 years as an instructor, teaching my own designs and step by step tutorials. My work has been published and on the cover of Bead and Button magazine.

Looking for a way to work from home, I found Etsy. After working retail as well as operating the back end of my local bead store, my first thought was to sell my overabundance of beads and pair down my personal inventory. That idea quickly turned to my focus: the sale of specialty Japanese and Czech seed beads. I particularly love some of the tiniest seed beads....Czech 15/0 Charlottes.

You will find tutorials in my shop that have been designed and written by me focusing on the specialty beads that I sell in my shop. Having worked in a retail bead store and charged with ordering supplies for the store I had developed relationships with a number of bead vendors that I now use to supply my Etsy shop.

I personally choose all of the items that I stock my store with, focusing on the new specialty seed beads that are rolling out from Japan and the Czech Republic. If you are looking for a particular item and can't find it in my Etsy store, please contact me. I may be able to find it for you. If you are looking for a color of a particular style bead that I carry, but you don't see on my site, please contact me. I may be able to find it for you.

I strive to provide the best customer service possible. I ship orders very quickly, sometimes the day the order is placed. Usually the next business day. I'm always open to suggestions so please do not hesitate to let me know if there is something that you think needs attention.

Thank you so much for visiting my Etsy store. Please enjoy! Tamara
