I've always been a nature lover, so combining my skill with botanicals was a natural decision for me.

I started my handmade shop after many requests for custom aprons from craft shows and family/friends. I have always loved to sew and make things, so it was a natural fit for me to open a shop with my handmade goods. I've since transitioned to crafting botanical jewelry pieces. Combining nature and art was the best decision ever.

I named the shop The Pretty Pickle, because in high school, my BFF's called me "Pickle" because I loved to drink pickle juice! Many years later, these ladies are still my BFF's and the name has stuck. The pretty part was added to the name because, well, who doesn't love pretty things!?! I know I do!

I have diligently worked on my online shop for a few years now, although I am recently putting in more and more hours to really get my name out there and hopefully turn a profit. I would love to do this thing full time!

I continue to participate in local craft shows and have started a blog for followers to see what I'm into on "Brown Acre".
