Handcrafted creations can only be a gift!
The gift of creativity has brought this shop to life.
I have always loved jewlery and especially beaded jewelry. (dating myself a bit). I have used everything from seed beads to paper beads and all in between to create my unique piece of jewelry. Usually I made them for gifts, then I decided to see if I could sell some of the things I make. I sold at craft shows and rock, gem and jewelry shows, even wholesale trade shows for many many years until the wholesale market took a nose dive for me at least. The invent of the internet also began to change my way of thinking.. I quickly discovered that it is far less costly to have a store on the internet rather than travel across the country selling my creations and supplies.
Oh yeah supplies, I started selling supplies about 25 years ago when people would come and see my jewelry and want to know where I got my beads. I figured why not sell them too. Not everyone wants to purchase a piece I made, but maybe i could sell them the pieces they need to make their own. Heck I even teach them to make their own (locally).
Anyway, I owned a physical shop for many years, then decided it was just too expensive and this could all be done through an online store. So here I am.
I am so excited to be here on Etsy. Finally a place that is for those who craft handmade goods and wears! A place to escape the assembly line life!
