It always happens the same way. I go into the craft store with a list of supplies in hand and I see something out of the corner of my eye, I look at it but don't really know why I am being drawn to this particular item. I go on my way. I almost always end up circling back to whatever it was I stumbled upon...

On a particularly dreary Sunday morning about 7 years ago, it was the jewelry aisle that had me smitten. I grabbed a starter kit, went home to play with my new pliers and beads not knowing exactly what I was doing or what I was about to ignite within myself.

Prior to making my own, I was not much of a jewelry wearer. I did not find much that suited my own personal style. Which I consider to be; a bit laid-back, vintage, earthy and yet still very feminine.

From hobby...to a business.
Friends and coworkers were beginning to take notice of the jewelry I was making and wearing. I was asked to make jewelry for a few friends of mine and needed a way to show them examples of what I was capable of making so I started a Facebook. I really didn’t imagine I would end up with so many supporters. People I didn’t know had become fans and were commenting on my jewelry. They didn’t know me. They weren’t just being nice. They liked what I was making. This gave me the confidence to enter my local festivals, and that is when it all turned from being just a hobby into something else. Something I wholeheartedly love doing and am constantly inspired by.
