Design your own unique bead jewelry

 Lucy Colboth, made jewelry from 1982 until her passing in 1997.  Lucy had an eye for beauty in the world and especially enjoyed restoring old neglected objects to their former glory.  Whether it was a pierce of broken furniture hidden by years of grime or hand painted pottery in need of repair, she seemed to have a magic touch.
Lucy owned an estate sale business in Toledo for many years until serious illness in the early 80's caused difficulty with mobility and she could no longer do such physically demanding work.  But, when one door closes sometimes a window opens.
Lucy soon discovered the joy of working with beads and her creative spirit shone through yet again.  Lucy worked primarily in sermi-precious stones but occasionally made more whimsical pieces.
Friends and relatives prized my mother's necklaces and the proceeds of necklace sales often went to her favorite charities- NAMI of Ohio, the Toledo Humane Society and Assistance Dogs of America.
She also sold several one of kind pieces at Jacobson's.  In memory of my mother, I will donate the proceeds from these remaining pieces to Paws and Whiskers Toledo, OH.
May owning a piece of her jewelry give you as much pleasure as she had in creating them.  Loving daughter,  Sue Matz
