Aloha and welcome to my shop! I use to be a hobbyist and created items for Etsy part time, but after being laid off 3X from my corporate job as an Executive Admin. I decided to take my love of creating and make it my full time job. I recently sold my house in California and moved to my dream location in Hawaii where I now have a small art studio (versus the tiny spare room I use to have). I love the constant warm temperature and breezes and enjoy listening to rainforest birds and Coqui frogs. The island is my inspiration!

People assume if you live on Hawaii you spend all your time at the beach, but Etsy is my full time job and like any job, my day starts around 7 or 8 in the morning and I work tirelessly all day till about 6 pm at night. I love creating items for my 5 Etsy shops, yes 5 – as I’m serious about Etsy! I do get to the beach too…..

My morning starts with thank you’s to customers, answering customer emails and then printing out the orders for the day. Once orders are made and boxed up, then I spend my afternoons creating more items for Etsy, taking/editing photos, listing items, and working on the shops. Having one shop on Etsy is work, having 5 shops is a LOT of work, but I love creating and Etsy is the perfect platform to show off my creations.

I love exploring locally and online for new materials to make jewelry, mala’s, or natural products for my herbal line. The possibilities are endless and only hampered by not enough time in the day!
