Gems and crystals add spark with only the highest quality chain and findings used. Welcome to Off the Beading Path and Zoa Mae Designs! A long-time crafter, I enjoy bringing hand-crafted jewelry to my corner of the world. After a long period of exploration and recovery from store-front business ownership, I’ve found a fun and inspiring niche. The new business name was added in summer of 2019 to ho

It’s hard to believe how fast time flies!😳This week will mark 10, yes 10 years since we closed the doors on the little bead shop in Occoquan. Many of you have been following this page since those days. Thank you for that! It means so much!🥰

Please share your favorite memories or projects or products from those days. There were so many good ones. 😎
Good vibes please. 🙏

The last 10 years have been full of pivots and redirection, likely for everyone. I hope you all can find the good in each turn. Hugs and best wishes as we start a new decade!😍

Some fresh new earrings coming off the workbench. 🛠️

Not sure where these are headed - maybe or maybe they’ll wait until the Faerie Tea at in July. 🤔

But if you’re looking for the perfect Mothers Day gift check out either location for something stunning. (PS: I’m now at Relics on Tuesdays. 😉)

Some of the other items are being prepped for the Mathews Faerie Tea at in July. 🧚

This time of year is one of many where we can focus on what’s important. Sadly we spend so much time looking to the negative. Much of social media encourages that, and if you 🫣 at a little you feed will get flooded. During Covid I was blessed to find something more important to focus on than all the troubles and disaster, not that I’m ever perfect at avoiding those distractions. I will do my best to avoid adding anything tragic or political to my feed and instead try to use this as my daily guide. ♥️

Happy Easter. Live well friends. 🥰
