Let's see. There were the seed bead bracelets, the beaded earrings that took fours hours, the friendship bracelets...I think those were my humble beginnings.

I've been a crafter from the start. Knitting, sewing, whittling, metalsmithing, glassblowing, painting, drawing, basket weaving...I'm pretty sure I have all of those Kraft books that teach you how to make friendship bracelets and apply plastic rhinestones to your barrettes.

This shop bloomed out of a friendly nudge from an employer and the fact that I had too much jewelry and my mom did, as well. I opened up my Etsy store in 2010, read as many articles and blog posts and discussion comments as possible, took thousands of photos and here I am! Still loving it and definitely honing in on what works and what doesn't.

Thanks for reading and take a look around! I make jewelry that I would want to wear myself and I hope you feel the same way!
