5 out of 5 starsI bought two black cat angel ornaments- one for my friends who lost their childhood black cat a couple months ago, and the other for my own family after we lost our childhood black cat of 16 years nearly one year ago. My friends loved theirs and said that they started crying when they opened it. My family loved our own ornament, especially the personalized little name tag. It’s beautifully crafted and comes in a cute gift wrapped box. I would highly recommend that you purchase one of these angel ornaments for any family or friend who has recently lost a beloved cat. It’s a beautiful reminder of our sweet Shaka that we’ll cherish for many years to come.

5 out of 5 starsMy daughter and her friends just love this special necklace! I wasn't quite sure how I wanted these to look, but Jan was amazing, suggesting and designing a real one-of-a-kind (well, actually four of them) necklace in no time at all. I know the girls will cherish these works of art. Oh, and the gift wrapping looked professional and beautiful. :)

5 out of 5 starsThe key ring was perfect ~ the latitude & longitude to my front door. It was a happy retirement gift to my very best friend who plans to travel extensively in the years to come. He cried when he realized where the coordinates led….love knows no distance and always finds its way back home❤️

Chipmunk Hollow Studio
My studio is located just a few footsteps from the tiny log cabin in northern Wisconsin where I live.
When I was 38 years old, my husband and I made a drastic lifestyle change. We sold our home, stored all of our belongings in a barn, and spent the next four years exploring America. We camped and backpacked our way across the country and learned to live very simply. Whenever we needed money to keep our travels going we would briefly stop and work. As soon as we had enough saved we would get on the road once again. Over two summers, we walked the entire Appalachian trail and spent a summer exploring the back country of Alaska. Life was good.
We finally settled in northern Wisconsin in a place where I feel so fortunate to be able to work and live. I am inspired by the peace and serenity of my surroundings and the beauty and solitude of this place we call Chipmunk Hollow. When I sit in my studio and look out on our pond which teems with lily pads, frogs, turtles and geese in the summer months, I am filled with a sense of gratitude. An abundance of wildlife - deer, black bears, coyotes, timber wolves and eagles make this a very special place to be.
I must have gotten my creative 'gene' from my mom and grandmother who were both very creative, productive women. They instilled in me an appreciation for all things made by hand.
I used to be an avid weaver and I loved it. Then, twenty years ago, thanks to my daughter, I began making jewelry. In 2007 I took a metal crafting class from a local goldsmith. My interest in working with metal began then. I love what I do and am so grateful for the opportunity that Etsy has given me. I am mostly self taught but I have learned a great deal from books, on line classes and all of the wonderful aspiring metal smiths who are so willing to share their knowledge with others.
My very first hand stamped pendant was one I made for a friend who had just lost the love of her life to cancer. Since then I have stamped thousands of pieces to commemorate milestones in people's lives....some sad...some joyful. I love that my jewelry has special meaning to the person receiving it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the most popular length of chain for a child?
I usually recommend a 16" (40.64 cm) chain for children unless they are very petite in which case a 14" (35.56 cm) chain should be okay.
What is the most popular length of chain for an adult?
I tend to sell mostly 18" (45.72cm) chains in my shop!
Can I get a rush order?
Possibly. If you need something super quick, please contact me before ordering and I will let you know if I can accommodate you.
How will my order be wrapped?
All jewelry items are sent gift boxed, beautifully wrapped in foil papers and tied with organza ribbon, ready to give as a gift, or to keep for yourself! All items will ship in bubble-packed envelopes for additional protection.
Can I enclose a card with my order? I am shipping it directly to the gift recipient?
Yes...I would be happy to enclose a card for you. Just let me know what you would like for it to say.

Absolutely. The quantities listed for each item are for your convenience in ordering only. Each piece on my site is handmade once an order has been placed. Send me a conversation through Etsy if you are interested in a larger quantity.
Is an invoice or packing slip included in my order?
Only if I am 100% certain that I am shipping directly to the person who placed the original order. If I am not entirely certain then you will receive your gift wrapped box and a Chipmunk Hollow business card in the padded envelope.
