New Bead Book!!!!!


Get Connected to yourself and the world of beads!
This great new book by Judy Butzine and Christy Puetz is now available.
This book is a fun overview of bead history, cultural information, and bead symbolism throughout time. It is narrated by one of my beaded figures named Kerri as she goes on adventures around the world.

Get Connected to yourself and the world of beads is a great gift or for yourself. Each book comes with a bead kit to make two bracelets. Fun to do with a grandchild, niece/nephew, or friend!

To purchase a book, please contact me via email for all the details.
purchase price is $18.95 plus shipping.
