The walls of the basemnent in ber Peterborough home are lined with thousands cf boxes crammed with beads. Each box is meticulously labelled with the type and size cf beads it holds.

She makes necklaces, earýîrings and bracelets of greatbeauty and fine craftsmanship. She seils themr at shows, but also has quite a clientele for custom work, and heilps customers coordinate their wardrobes with beads. The bead business began in a modest way.
