The Story

Hi, just wanted to share a story with you. A woman came from Sweden 5,5 years ago to this beautiful country. Her husband, an Officer in the US Army found her in Finland and brought her over. Well ,it was't that easy...
After a short time in GA, they moved to upstate NY. A beautiful part of the country. Needless to say, she felt at home. The weather and nature is the same as in Sweden.
Her husband deployed twice during their 4 years there and so she was looking into things to keep her busy. They thought about opening a small business, but didn't know what. she looked into beads and got caught up with their beauty and the stories they could tell with others and so she began to make Jewery in their house. Friends heard and saw them and bought them, then they decided to look for a space to open a retail store. To make the story short, they found one in a mall that is Americas oldest running mall today- Paddock Arcade in Watetown, NY. She opened myher store full with handmade Beaded jewelry, sterling silver jewelry as She had gotten into silversmithing by then too and beads. It was very rewarding, though at the same time somewhat frightening as it was her garantee that the Jewelry She made was to last beautiful and intact. Her husband deployed and She was left to manage the store. She had a great time and fun for the 1.5 years that She had the store, til' the Army decided to send them through KY to Ft. Bragg, NC.
Their daughter was born during their time in NY with their business. It was a great time that she do not regret doing and taking the chance of opening a Small Business. she today manage the store through the intenet. They once again settle for a few years and she can open up a retail store again.
