Teena's BooJee Beads

Each Piece is Creative

Location: Ocean Springs, Mississippi

My name is Teena and I am the owner of Teena’s BooJee Beads. I’ve been designing and making jewelry, on and off, for the past 35 years. I really enjoy working with the beads and coming up with new and exciting projects. I have a wonderful family and fantastic friends; all whom support my small business. I also have a major love for animals which led me to start a collection of collars for dogs and cats (and even a few goats!). As you browse my jewelry collection I hope you find something you love as much as I did making it.
