Sometimes life is a happy accident

It's funny how things work out, isn't it? Making jewellery was always a hobby for me, although I had sold a few things occasionally before I set up this shop in 2008. I was doing my PhD in law, and thought that selling my designs online would be a pleasant distraction. And it was, for a while.

When my mitochondrial disease progressed to the point I could no longer continue with school, I realized this little sideline activity could be my "real" job, if I wanted. The flexibility allows me to rest when I need to, but I am still able to earn a living while doing something I love. It's not exactly where I planned on ending up, but it's a pretty nice place to be!

My shop features many items that are "easy to wear" for people who have strength & dexterity troubles - my disability friendly line can be found here: http://etsy.me/16ph1Jg

I won't bore you with photos of my workspace; instead I am giving you snapshots of some of my favourite places, where I draw inspiration for my natural designs.
