{ What happened to Jerry Smith Beads? }
Jerry With Guitar (2012)

The market just tanked, fewer hobbyist had the disposable income to spend on beads. Fluctuating exchange rates and the rising price of gold and silver made it almost impossible to keep my cost low enough to make a profit.


When I started selling beads in 1999 it was on EBay it was fun, time passed and we grew and it was still fun. But in the last few years it has became less fun.   So we decided to call it quits in Jan 2013.

{ What is next?. }

I have six years before I am eligible to retire from my full time job I am looking for a way to replace my one source of income with many income streams.  I'll start blogging to let you know how it is going.
