 Once upon a time, there was a girl with a passion for beads like no other. She sold beaded rings at the neighborhood koolaid stand, they were a nickel. Her Uncle said “You won’t make any money doing that.” She didn’t care, it was her passion - they were beads. |
| She went through life, beads in tow. 15 years ago while fairly successful in the homogenized corporate world, she declared, “Stop the bus I’m getting off.” She had decided, much to the dismay of family and friends, to open a bead store. One of her friends said “What’s the big deal, they’re just beads?” To which she said “Oh but they’re Knot Just Beads!” And so it began with a small shop at the corner of 80th & National. The neighboring businesses thought - beads? She’ll never make any money doing that. She didn’t care, it was her passion - they were beads. 5 years later she moved to a larger store in Tosa. Her new landlord said “You sell what?” Now 10 years after that, while once again caught in a homogenized world of beads....she declares - “Stop the bus we’re making a U turn!” Why? Because it’s her passion and they’re KNOT JUST BEADS!!!
