She wanted something with flowers

I love making custom pieces, I had a customer call me and ask if I would put in a few flowers on her barefoot jewelry. I replaced the crystals with some beautiful crystal luster flower pressed glass beads. Made especially for her beach wedding.

Dark Sapphire Crystal White Pearl Jewelry

I just made this custom request. I forgot how much I love the Dark Sapphire Austrian Crystal, they look great against the white Swarovski Pearl. Don’t you agree?

How it all began...

The year was 2000, I was a mom with 2 small children looking for a business I could run out of my home so I could be available for my family. I had just started beading and was enjoying it. I thought what could I make that I could sell online that people would actually want to buy. I made necklaces, bracelets and beaded wraps that you could wear as a belt or long necklace. But how do I make a website.

Bob told me he would pay for my first website to see if anything would come from it. I had my friend Rus he designed my original site and did the SEO for me. He taught me HTML and how to optimize and take care of my site; he is the one who came up with my web name Ladybead. I went live with my site on April 1 2001.

In June I was contacted by Bonnie Walker who asked me if I could create some jewelry for a wedding she was going to in the Virgin Islands, she told me she had looked around online and didn’t see anything she liked. She wanted something fancy for her feet. I told her to give me a week and I would design something. I worked night and day trying to figure out what to make. I had always enjoyed netting and right angle weave so I played around with that, after a few days. I came up with my first netted pair of foot jewelry. She purchased 4 pairs from me and got my creative juices flowing. Now my site has the largest selection of barefoot jewelry on the web. I love what I do, and it has made it so I never had to go back to a 9-5 job. I have my husband to thank for his undying financial and emotional support though out this journey.
