a friend had told me about etsy - it took me over 6 months to actually take a look. and just one look - i was hooked - from pure purchaser to finally getting up the gumption to open my own shop - it just seemed so daunting - but, i was wrong ; )

slowly, one step at a time, i began putting together all the necessary elements to open shop - which finally began january of 2012....

creating comes from desire, necessity, and inspiration. many and most items that i have created come from a desire to have something unique and something that is "me" - such as my wrap bracelets. there are hundreds on the market but i wanted one that wasn't out there so i made one. i love pillows but also wanted something different than what can be found in local stores. everything in my shop is something that i love and want to have.
color is usually what gets me inspired and started on a project. just looking at my collection of beads or fabric will draw my eye and imagination and helps generate an idea. i love nature and the world of color and these alone fill me with continuous ideas for new projects.
