About Claire

   So you want to know a little about me huh?

Where to begin….

To start with I am the mother of two wonderful grown young men and the proud grandmother of a new granddaughter. Isn’t it funny how we immediately identify ourselves as a parent, when we have kids. I am also “mom” to four purrballs otherwise known as Midnight, Stretch, Romeo and Juliette.

As my header states, I am a hopeless bead addict as well. I live for beads. I knew it was an addiction, the minute I started noticing what jewelry folks were wearing before I noticed anything else. I see it in movies, the news, award shows, on the street. You name it, I look for it. I love the colors, textures and variety. My favorites are lampwork, semi-precious and pearls. I have been dabbling in the art of designing beaded jewelry for about 5 years now. I am completely self taught and am always looking for the time and money to continue that love. I currently have my own website and a store on Etsy. Both are fully equipped to accept credit cards and/or paypal.
