I was fortunate to grow up in  Hawaii in the 50's when it was still a territory. As an adult I've been blessed to live in many beautiful areas of our country, but there is nothing, for me, as wonderful as the beaches on Oahu.
​
Years ago I was  given two shoe boxes filled with tiny seed beads, that were hundreds of years old, by a  Lakota woman from Pierre, South Dakota.   I knew I would learn to work with them the minute I opened the boxes.     In 1984 I returned to Pacific Grove, California and started the first bead store in the area.  

Beads led me to metalsmithing and I attended Revere Academy of  Jewelry Arts for two years.  I had the good fortune to be taught by  some of the best artists in this field.  I sold the store in 1990 and started designing and fabricating  jewelry under the name of Stuff I Like. 

I work with the highest quality  gemstones, glass beads and the finest crystals in the world that have been made for over 100 years.  I love combining  them with metals. Sometimes  I use the vintage beads and crystals that I saved from my store. 

The crystal pendulums can be purchased from my Etsy store. Here is the link.  If there are none for sale you can contact me through this website for a custom quote. Thank you.
