What is done in love is done well. -VVG
As a little girl, I carted around my tackle box full of beads and friendship bracelet string. Art supplies were always at the top of my Christmas list. I remember my first “collection”- soda bottle cap earrings I made and gave to all of my friends in the fifth grade. I spent my babysitting money on sculpting clay and begged to go to the flea market on the weekends as a middle schooler to find things that could be made into jewelry. In high school, I spent my summers perfecting my penmanship and making signs for my friends’ college dorm rooms. In college I took on so many new creative ventures, even more in the past few years! I have made jewelry lines for boutiques, wedding stationery and decor, custom graphics for marketing, and pumped out postcards for teachers to send to their students during the height of COVID-19 in nearly half of the United States! I have always made room for creativity.
I love to let my mind wander- planning each step of a creative project with great attention to detail is my kryptonite. I do it over and over again with each new inspiration- color, texture, jewelry, home decor, or even painting. I am never afraid of a new endeavor and am always excited to be a student of art and design.
But the best part of all of this exploring is the story that comes with the finished product. It’s why I am drawn to handmade and vintage above most other things- because it has a story to tell. Whether something was given as a gift, previously belonged to and treasured by someone else, or is simply something that someone put much thought and attention into creating- the intentionality of the story pulls me in more than any trend or flashy new concept.
I hope that each item in my store will be treasured. May my intentionality in creating something meaningful or curating previously-loved pieces and making them new speak deeply to you. My hope is that with each collection that I release, you and I both are continually inspired to be intentional with our daily lives, those we love, and allow ourselves to always make room for the things we love.
“What is done in love is done well” - Vincent Van Gogh
