After retiring from the Army Nurse Corps I realigned my beading/crafting hobby of 30 years to a small business designing and making jewelry and glass home decorations. My unique jewelry is created using bits of broken or discarded dishes, leather, and metals. Special orders are taken to create your heirloom piece from your family China, Corelle or stoneware. These pieces are often adorned with beads baubles and metals collected in my years of travel.
