Welcome to the Queen Bead!
Owned and operated Ann Custer, The Queen Bead is the
newest incarnation of a business that has flourished for
almost 20 years.
The business
has changed and grown through the years. Ann, along with 2
friends, Joni & Julie, opened The Silly Goose in 1989.
In 1993 the
business became Hearts Desire Crafts & Gifts and as Joni & Julie
moved on, Ann's Mom, Theresa, joined the team. Joni & Julie
have always been there to help and support the business.
Ann & Theresa
maintained store fronts in Spring Lake Park and later in Elk
River, Minnesota from 2001 until 2007. The Queen Bead line
was added to the business in 2004.
Now Ann runs
the Queen Bead from her private studio, where she offers classes
and products.
Thanks for coming by!
