June 2024 Bead of the Month
"Castles symbolize fortitude and protection. I made this little talisman to remind me to protect my inner sanctuary when things get tough, a reminder that there are fairy tales and magic all around me and especially within. This pewter bead is handpainted with special powders so the colors appear to shift!" - Cynthia Thornton
