New to the shop are the Mary Earrings. Inspired and named after my great-great-grandmother. These teardrop-shaped earrings perhaps symbolize the tears of happiness and hardship shed as she ventured to the new world. #handmade #creativebusiness

A little #wednesdaywisdom for you and me. It's easy to get caught up and focus on all those things that didn't get done or go as planned, but there are so many good things that our egos don't let us celebrate. Tell me something good. #quotestoliveby

#tooltuesday featuring a very cool hand tool that I use quite often. It's a steel prong and bezel pusher. Once I've soldered the bezel wire onto the backplate and the stone fits nicely, I push the bezel wire down around the edge of the stone. This secures it in place. #create

My workshop might be getting packed up this week! Or it might not. There's a lot up in the air when buying a house. But I still have some pieces out and available if looking for something special for a loved one. #handmadejewelry #makermovement

Being able to make my own jewelry is such an amazing skill. Reminding myself how grateful I am that I have the ability to do this and many other things, is so important. What's one thing your grateful for the opportunity to have or to do? #thursdaythoughts #handmadejewelry
