Our journey (my siter Amanda began in 2015) passed in 2021. With riverside beads. I'm a builder so know a thing or 2 ha-ha and always helped my sister on the back side. After she passed it was hard! I didn't want her hard work to go unseen or fade away. She was the creator of many first products in beads. So, I continued her legacy in a NEW way. We rebranded to rocky mountain in 2021. I'm a mom of 3 awesome boys. My Name is Amber. We live in the Cowboy state of Wyoming. We love the outdoors! I worked in a plant for over 15 years! Then took on beads! With a big background in engineering the sky was the limit! I did not want to let my sister's dreams fade away! Worked so so hard... Long nights lots of sacrifice's, hard choices lessons learned. But I fell in love with beads and the people! So here we are beading away!
2021
First milestone Went Big On ETSY
We worked very hard on rebranding and reached 100,000 happy customers in the end of 2021. I then expanded our product lines. And created a website.
2022
Hard news hit our family!
My son was diagnosed with an incurable disease. CMD-LMA With a life expectancy of only into the teens, we 360 our lives and business. Hard choices were eventually made in Early 2025 by closing ETSY. So, we could focus on my son's health and more family time. This is when our slogan beads for a purpose were born! We donate 20% of revenue to MDA every year to help research, find a cure and bring awareness of my sons' disease!

Closing our ETSY shop to downsize and focus on website and family!
This was the hardest thing to ever do! We were HUGE and was simply just too much for me to do with my son! Family comes first! I now understand and cherish life and all aspects! Live today with no limits as tomorrow is never promised! Be kind stay humble! Never GIVE UP!
