The beginning of our Journey



My very first store! This is where the journey started. In this picture, you will see my Mom, little sister and me. This shop sure brings lots of fun memories. I met some of the best customers and made a few friends. I miss the most the beading nights, children parties, the workshops but above all my friends who became part of my family.

Having a shop is not easy. Everyone really thinks that it is a piece of cake or a walk in the park. You are working day and night. Thinking of the next promotion, or preparing for the next party. Your mind is never at ease. I was not alone, my husband worked with me and together we made it work. 

We taught many customers new to beading how to make lovely necklaces and or bracelets, not to mention the many earrings that we made and sold.

The hardest part of leaving this location was saying goodbye.  But we didn't stop here!
