Welcome to Humblebug Jewelry! I am a native Rhode Islander re-located to the Pacific Northwest where I live with my Husband Michael, Our son Aden, pup "Coava bean" and our soon-to-be daughter Helen, arriving this winter. As a lifetime lover of all things shiny and found, old and discovered, my jewelry line is a reflection of the beauty I see in discarded objects and the desire to find a new purpose and life for them. I am a collector of all sorts of curiosities. If I like it, I put a dome on it. My husband says, "no more glass domes!" Finally he built me a studio in a shed behind the house so my dream of a home studio is a reality and all those domes and found objects clutter my own space now and stay out of the house! Ever since the start of Humblebug in 2008 I have been collecting and creating and loving the growth I have found in my outlet of jewelry design. What started with a nervous step and meager $120.00 of purchased supplies and stock from which I made 16 necklaces that sold out immediately and brought me here where Humblebug is today. You can usually find me on a work day in my happy place surrounded by twinkle lights with a glass of wine on my right and music on the radio. I am a home based designer and create my finds in (sparse) free time mixed between babies and a full time job. Humblebug is constantly changing and evolving with the continuous flow of new finds and learned skills and the inspiration I draw from others. While I only have jewelry making as a hobby, it is something I love and brings me joy and a sense of fulfillment outside Mom duties and responsibilities at home. Thank you for visiting my shop and I hope you enjoy what you see as much as I enjoyed making it for you.
