I have taken upon a project out of the goodness of my heart to preserve the history of the Bead Society of Greater Chicago.
In creating this wordpress blog I am learning that the world of beads is truly a WORLD OF BEADS, updates will be as they are
I am just one. Please feel free to visit to discover a WORLD of BEADS and Designers ~
