I started out, just wanting to make a few pieces for my sister and I. We have a really good family friend from Blacksburg that owned a bead store and she taught me how to string beads and add a clasp. It just kind of grew from there. I would wear things that I had made and people would ask me where I got them and when I said that I made them they would offer to buy them or ask me to make them something, so it started out just making things for myself and turned into a little business. I really enjoy making jewelry and seeing people wear my jewelry. – Josie Caldwell
