I've always wanted to run a store, So I guess here I am, Just doing that...
I started this store on Etsy in 2021 and I received an unbelievable amount of support from everyone around me and so many people online. I cannot thank you enough for making my dreams come true. A lot has happened since 2021, I've been experimenting with all kinds of beads and making different types of jewellery. I love being able to see all the progress I've made and how much I've improved. I've learned so many new techniques and improved the way in which I make all these pieces, to make them as high quality as handmade items can be.
You may know me from Tiktok, that's actually where I gathered a lot of my following and support. I discovered the kandi community back in 2020 on tiktok and I've been in love ever since, it honestly got me so interested in accessorising and creating wearable art. When I first started making kandi, all my friends were so interested and I was always making them cuffs and singles. I think my love language is giving/receiving gifts, I've always loved seeing someone's face light up when they receive a gift, especially handmade gifts. So being able to make handmade pieces for people, makes me so happy. It melts my heart when I get really sweet reviews or when customers go out of their way to message me.

Lastly I would like to dedicate this whole journey to my wonderful Grandmother. She has given me so many of her beads and actually allowed me to expand my jewellery making as it used to be only centred around kandi and perlers. Thank you Nana Rose, you are the kindest and most generous person I know. I will cherish your beads forever and the beautiful necklaces I've been able to create with them.
Thanks for reading and joining me on this journey, sending lots of love <3
