It's Time for Maddy to Fly the Crafty Nest!

This week, we're saying goodbye (for now!) to our wonderful Maddy as she leaves Riverside Crafts & Beads to pursue her acting dreams. 🎭

Maddy first joined us as a work experience student and managed to stick around for well over a decade! Over the years, she has become such a valued part of the Riverside family, helping customers, supporting workshops, packing orders, creating displays, and bringing plenty of laughter along the way with her Tik Tok's!
Watching her grow in confidence and follow her passion has been an absolute privilege, and whilst we're going to miss her enormously, we couldn't be prouder of her for taking this exciting next step.

Maddy, thank you for all your hard work, friendship, dedication, and the many happy memories you've given us over the years.

We're all cheering you on and can't wait to see where your next adventure takes you.

Lots of love from all of us at Riverside Beads
See you soon, Maddy!
