RitzyToo’s Bead Store of the Month:
I gotta BEAD! Tyler, TX
Some exciting energies have come together open an energetic and happy new
bead store in Tyler, Texas! Congratulations to these two enterprising bead enthusiast entrepreneurs, Belinda Defoor and Alli
Cormier on the opening of their brand new
bead store. What a powerful entrepreneurial spirit!
This short article will provide a glimpse into
the entrepreneurial mind. In the case of
these two ladies and their new bead shop,
you will find qualified expertise, a passion
for their industry, a desire to teach, and a
‘Givers Gain’ approach to the local community. We understand from conversation
with Belinda that it may even be possible
that I gotta BEAD will be able to benefit
the community this Thanksgiving!
In fact, we just spoke with Belinda a few
moments ago, and these two dynamic new
store co-owners just made final arrangements to hold a food drive for PATH (People Attempting to Help) in Tyler, TX, and
it will run for 3 days! Here are the details.
Belinda says, “... bring in 2 or more cans
of non-perishable food between November
8 - 10th, and we will give the donator a
10% discount. We just got it set up.”
PATH is a local food bank that helps anyone who cannot afford food. Belinda and Alli
have watched the members of the Tyler
community over the years and have always
promised to help them help others.
Since time and scheduling restraints
would not allow us to speak directly with
Alli, Belinda volunteered, “Alli is fun and
imaginative. She is an extraordinary bead
embroidery professioinal. And, believe me,
it won’t take long for Alli to take the world
by storm with her bead embroidery talent!
Belinda has been making jewelry, designing jewelry, and instructing various bead
jewelry techniques since 2010 when she
picked up her first bead and placed it on a
stringing wire.
