Hello and Welcome!

I've always loved unique jewelry and accessories in a rainbow of colors, textures and styles. My jewelry and accessories have always been a part of who I am and represent my individual personality. Quite often, I would select my jewelry and accessories and then decide what I was wearing. I have honestly shopped for outfits to match my jewelry. While working as a General Corporate Business Manager for 22+ years, I received many compliments on my jewelry and color coordination/combinations :-)

A few pieces have been higher end gems and semi-precious stones, but I am most attracted to unique, one of a kind items. I lived and worked in the San Francisco Bay area for 10 years and purchased a multitude of jewelry from local artisans in small shops, from those displaying their unique items at Union Square as well as from area fairs, festivals, etc.

Time went by and God blessed me with precious children. I returned to Maine to be closer to my family and live a less hectic lifestyle. I continued to work 12+ more years in similar positions, but I could no longer be "Wonder Woman" and take care of three children after becoming a single Mom. Many of my treasures from the "Streets of San Francisco" and surrounding areas are now Vintage :-)

My favorite Aunt re-introduced me to garage and yard sales, church bazaars and more. I was attracted to unique antique and vintage costume jewelry and soon found my passion was for late 1800's to Mid Century Bakelite and Plastics. I especially love individually hand carved pieces and, of course, all the colors of the rainbow. I look at these wonderful pieces and am taken by the detail and creativity of each piece. While many may be of the same style or design, no two are exactly alike. It was truly an artist that created each of these amazing pieces, lovingly hand carving them. To me, each lovely jewelry item preserves a piece of history, somewhere in time.

I now know that my position in the Corporate Business world was not "who" I wanted to be in life. I thank God that I was able to take some time to be with my children, despite the difficulties of being a single Mom. I began the shops as a hobby to support my collection and pay a few bills, but have discovered that I alone cannot serve it well enough to make a full living. I have branched out and maintain a space at a lovely country Vintage Shop and will soon be educating and supporting teens in their driver's education vehicle training.

My shops will continue as my love and passion remain and they have become a very important part of who I am and will always be. My cherished, special pieces are displayed in my large, lighted china cabinet - (whoops, no dishes/china) LOL - and much of my home decor is also from times long ago but, fondly remembered :-)

Thank you for stopping by and please convo me with any questions. I proudly offer an Unconditional Satisfaction Guarantee on All items in the shops, for Any reason. If you are not happy, I am not happy.

Cheers, Laura
