We owned a brick and mortar bead store for more than 20 years, were "traveling lampworkers" for about 14 of those, opened a restaurant then a wine bar (that ended the lampworking) then sold it all and found ourselves in Napa Valley with new surroundings and sights and smells (and tastes!) so of course we're going to start making jewelry - it's what we do!
Because we're absolutely in love with lampworking and lapidary and metalsmithing - we're just process junkies who love making things. So we're using old wine barrels and old grape vines to inspire our new work, and it just seemed like Etsy would be the perfect fit, so here we are!
