I grew up on a small farm in rural Western Pennsylvania where I learned the hard work it takes to manage a micro farm, and where I developed a deep love for animals and nature. After moving around on the East Coast for a several years, I moved back to Pennsylvania and took on the challenges of my grandparents’ farm while still working “9 to 5” in the banking industry.

When my little one was born, I decided to be a stay-at-home super mom. At the same time, I acquired three alpacas and a couple of Nigerian Dwarf goats as pets. After the alpacas were sheared for the first time, I thought: “Now, what to do with all of this gorgeous fiber?” That was when I decided to start my fiber business. I started with just the alpacas until one day I read an article about Angora goats and fell in love with all of those beautiful curls. I immediately began the search for one to add to the farm. One turned into nine . . . and here we are!

I have always enjoyed creating jewelry for friends and family. Now, I have blended my love of fiber and my love of crafting into a FIBER JEWELRY line that is so fun to create! It is always a conversation starter and is a different way to wear the fiber we all adore in yarn.

It has always been my dream to live and work on a self-sustaining farm, to teach my daughter to be a strong, independent woman, and to instill in her the same sense of love and respect for nature I have, by showing her how to care for and appreciate the animals on our growing farm. Now, we have two little fellows to pass that message and lifestyle on to as well! The fiber and products you see in my shop are the result of that love and respect.
