Since she was a small child losing herself in books in her one-room school house library, Elsie has dreamed of travel. With money saved from her very first job as a school teacher, Elsie began her travel adventures with a trans-Atlantic crossing on the Queen Elizabeth. She loved it and travel has been part of her life ever since. Always artistic, beading came a little later in life for Elsie. She has an awesome collection of tribal beads and all sorts of other beads. She has shopped for beads all over the world and loves to use them in necklaces she has created for you.
