Liz Calafiore 
 
Liz found my store in 2005 after she retired from teaching middle school English in Los Angeles. She wanted to take beading classes, but she saw chain maille and went crazy. Now she's ready to share her love of weaving jump rings and adding beads and crystals whenever possible with you!
