BRINGING BEAD LOVERS TOGETHER ONE STORY AT A TIME

Hi there! I'm Sami and I love beads. Yes, that's right. Beads! I love their history, beauty, versatility, their significance in culture, and the memories we can associate with beads. But mostly I love making things with beads, from bead mosaics to beadwoven necklaces, to super colorful chunky funky jewelry. I think there might be lots of people out there (YOU!) who also love beads, and I'd like to create a fun community of likeminded, supportive bead enthusiasts who want to pay homage to the bead and share their passion for collecting/creating. I will be talking to bead lovers from lampwork artists to collectors to designers, each person sharing their passions and projects. In between, I'll be sharing which beads I'm currently loving and any special ones I find during my many shopping excursions. Come join this little community of bead lovers and let's share the bead love!
