We are Friends and Business Partners!
There are three of us behind the scenes at Precious Little Time: Megan, Joe, and Liz. We work together to bring you beautiful handmade jewelry. Here's a little more about us!
---------MEGAN (Watch Wizard)---------
At age 11 I decided to take my beading skills public and go into business for myself. Back then, I chose the name Starry Night Jewelry based on my favorite Van Gogh painting. Over the years my design skills changed and evolved quite a bit. I tried everything from peyote-stitch pouches and loom weaving to elastic wristbands, and from hand-rolled sculpey beads to hand-lacquered fall leaves. Then one day, a new idea clicked: antique watches + natural stones. Voila!
Wire-wrapping has been my focus lately, and I enjoy developing complicated new ways to join metal and stone through wrapping alone. It's important to me preserve the integrity of the antique timepieces that I work with by not gluing, cutting, or soldering.
When Liz and Joe joined the business in 2025, we decided to refresh the business with a new name! That's when Starry Night turned into Precious Little Time.
---------JOE (Gear Elf Extraordinaire)---------
A true Minnesota native, born across the street from Matt's Bar in Minneapolis. Joe is a sensitive, goofy, creative soul jammed into a dashing mechanic's body. When he is not painting miniature figurines, or cross stitching a full cover portrait, he is bopping around with his two children, Isaac and Sophia. His favorite quotes are:
"The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe" - Albert Einstein
"I don't know, if I knew, I'd know, you know?" - Theodore Capitani von Kurnatowski III
---------LIZ (Gear Elf Extraordinaire)---------
Liz was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she now lives with her unruly cat in a house smaller than your closet. She is often traveling to foreign lands, and searching for the next weird and wonderful thing. She loves designing quirky and unique jewelry.
