How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I have always been creative and enjoyed working on projects that could be completed in a short amount of time. During the summer of 2002, I visited a bead store in Nashville and enjoyed making jewelry so much I opened my own bead store shortly after my visit.
I worked for Eastman Kodak for ten years in sales and have always enjoyed working with people. After staying at home to raise my two kids I was looking for something to do that would allow me to be available for my kids and give me the flexibilty to go to their sporting events. The bead store was the perfect solution.
