My name is Sarah Sumerlin. My legal name is Sarah, my nickname is Sally. Sally is the name I prefer, but I will answer to either one.
John, my husband, and I have been collecting trade beads from antique stores, eBay, auctions, and private collections since 1985. That year our youngest son came home with a strand of red Crow eye trade beads. John took possession of them and used them as decorations on various Native American accouterments that he makes for various ceremonial ceremonies, personal use, and gifts for friends and relatives. Those items are never for sale on eBay or private sales. Over the years we have made many wonderful contacts with other bead sellers and bead buyers. Our goal is treat every person we come in contact with as a member of the human race. We recognize no social or economic boundries. With that said, our selection of beads is geared so that the person earning minimum wage can purchase a bead, as well as the person who is a large earner can purchase many beads. Our audience for selling beads is 70% regular buyers and 30% new buyers with more coming everyday. At this time our country is facing an economic downturn. We have been in the business of manufacturing and service for over 35 years. We have experienced many downturns during that time. One thing we know for sure, have faith, there has never been an up turn that didn't turn down nor a down turn that didn't turn up. We are all in the same boat together. Let's all row our beat in the same manner. We are all wonderful people.

Currently we ship USPS at flat fee of $4 worldwide. We combine multiple purchases for one shipping and handling fee. The $4 charge can vary with the purchase of multiple and heavy bead strands. Delivery is normally 3 to 8 days. We ship on the first business day following your PayPal payment. Week-ends and holidays are not considered business days.
Policies:
Our policy is simple. The buyer has ten(10) business days, not counting week-ends and holidays, to pay for all items purchased within that time parameter. We expect to paid during that time parameter. We will hold shipments for all buyers who making multiple purchases and waiting for certain items to come up,if notified in advance. We will take your item back based on the warranty policy described in our bead description information. Please, look at all photos and read all descriptive information. Too many new and advanced collectors are guilty of looking at the bead, the price, and hitting the buy or bid bead button. Some are dissapointed when they receive their bead(s), not because the bead is not as described, but because they did not read the descriptive information.
