Tina's Creative Journey with Bead Happy

Hi, I’m Tina—designer, maker, and founder of Bead Happy Gift Finds.
My creative journey began during a deeply personal moment. After my father passed away, I made a wreath for his services. That experience sparked something meaningful, and I began crafting wreaths as a way to heal and create beauty from grief. Over time, I felt drawn to smaller, more intricate designs—beaded creations that could carry personal stories and bring joy in everyday moments. That’s how Bead Happy was born.
My shop is rooted in family, memory, and transformation. My grandmother had a beautiful spoon collection, and I wanted to create something special from it—something I could wear and cherish. I made myself a bracelet from one of her vintage spoons, and that single piece inspired an entire line of jewelry made from repurposed silverware.
I started selling online to share these pieces with others who appreciate handmade detail and meaningful design. Over the years, I’ve expanded my offerings to include functional helpers, upcycled accessories, and personalized tools—all crafted with care and a touch of storytelling.
Bead Happy Gift Finds is more than a shop—it’s a reflection of the people and memories that shaped me, and a celebration of creativity, sustainability, and connection. Every item is made by hand, with attention to detail and a commitment to quality. Whether you're shopping for a gift or treating yourself, I hope you find something here that feels personal, useful, and full of charm.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Warmly,
Tina
