Overcoming Life Struggles and Moving Onward and Upward!

10/20/2011

My first guest is a woman that inspires me with her work, her life and outlook on life despite her challenges. Beth Rintala. I came to meet Beth on Facebook in a beading group we both belong to, then found we were both Etsy shop owners as well. We struck up conversation and poof! a new friendship was born. Read more about Beth and I believe you will be inspired as well.

I work from home since I had to retire due to chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis, and also Osteoarthritis in my spine. I consider myself handi-capable, in spite of my setbacks. I look forward to each day and do my best to make it a good one! I have a wonderful, supportive husband, three super children and seven outstanding grandchildren :)

I have always been into so many crafts, and my Mom taught me most of them, (along with being a great cook)!

All my creations are one-of-a-kind (OOAK).
I take great pride in creating beautiful jewelry using only quality gemstones, specialty beads, and use only the best of materials in each creation. Rest Assured I still shop all over the world for the best quality gemstones, etc. at the best prices,...

I've love seeing the looks of appreciation when I've sold someone my jewelry at a craft fair or by special order. I have also given many as gifts to family and friends.

I also chose to donate pieces of my jewelry in support of fund raising for the Massachusetts Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation's Online Auctions and for local American Cancer Society events, along with other local fund raising and charitable events.

Thank you for visiting my shop. I hope you like what you see, tell your family and friends, and will purchase one of my creations!

I do custom creations, so if you have something special in mind, please feel free to contact me!

SMILE,
Beth

Good to get to know you, Beth. I too work from home due to health. Thankfully, I only have osteoarthritis but that is enough. Bless you.
