MLH Designs and Beads came into existance when it became obvious that I would never have time to use all the beads I had collected over the years. All the while I've been designing and making jewelry, I've been buying beads--mostly vintage beads--from everywhere in the world--Japan, Nigeria, Germany, France, Italy, Czechoslavakia, China ... just about any country that ever made beads.

I had beads left over from lots of projects, beads I knew I would never use again. And like most beaders, I had beads I could not imagine buying again. (Pink plastic stars--what was I thinking!) Since I had bought beads on eBay, I decided to sell some of my vintage beads there. It turned out to be more fun than I thought! Next, I plan to begin offering some of the jewelry I design and make as well as some that I have restored. Check my auctions to see what I have available currently. If you need something you don't see, email me through eBay. I'll check to see if I have what you're looking for hidden away just waiting for a beader to claim it.
