Thanks for stopping in and visiting our about "ME" Page! This page is really about US...US being me, Lou, Lucy, and Orlando. I'm Linda, married to Lou, with pets Lucy & Orlando! Together we make up the BuyTheBead team.

We travel from Coast to Coast selling beads on ebay and to retail stores and doing an occasional show or two. Our job is to bring you the Hottest beads in the world and we do our best to accomplish this.

Because we're always on the road ... selling beads, we decided that having a condo on wheels would help us feel at home across the USA ... and also make it FUN!
So many moons ago, we bought our first motor coach. That worked out to be a great idea ... and we're now on our 5th motor coach ... (keeping a secret how many years we have been doing this.)

We have an Internet satellite dish on top of our motor coach allowing us to keep in touch with our customers, even in the most remote parts of our country. To tell you the truth, it's soooooo much fun selling beads on ebay while you're in the middle of the desert with the stars and the mountains as a back drop, or in the hustle-bustle of New York City. Mother Nature has given me many hints on the names for our beads.

We have been selling on ebay for over 10 years now, and many of our customers ask about our travels ... things like "where are you now,
what are you seeing, what's it like always traveling?", so I thought I would change the "About Me" page to a "View from our front window" page.
I think it will be tons of fun to share our wonderful views with our friends on ebay!

Please check back with us often to check on our progress across the USA & to see our views change.

This is one of our favorite views, the wide open highway! We get to see so many unique & different things while traveling, we thought we would share some of those views with you. We soon realized that we needed more space than what was available on our About Me page, so we have posted some of our travel photos on our new blog. Please check it out from the link below & we can chat about beads or you can travel with us on those wide open roads through the magic of our eBay Blog.

We're planting beads across the USA.
We thought it would be fun to plant beads in some of the great locations we visit.

This cool cactus is where we planted our first pair of turquoise-blue beads. This cactus is growing in front of the Desert Diamond Casino located on the Tohono O'odham Reservation, on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona.

The planting of these 2 beads started our "Planting Beads Across America" venture. Watch for more bead plantings on our ebay blog. We'll be listing photos & locations. who knows maybe there will be a whole forest of Bead trees sprouting up!
