My design philosophy is to create pieces that beautifully balance simplicity and femininity with a modern aesthetic. I create each design with a unique combination of colors, textures and metals while at the same time retaining simplicity. |

Yay for Sweet Customers!
Oh, do I love hearing from customers! I love when they gush over their new baubles. IT. NEVER. GETS. OLD. Even though an online sale can seem a bit impersonal, Etsy has created this community where feedback is so welcomed and so easily shared. I love it! I wanted to [...]
Success
For a very long time I thought that success meant money, a fancy title, and corporate pats on the back. When I was younger I thought when you “grew up” you got a job at a big company, worked 9-5 and never left. I simply didn’t know another way. So, that’s what I [...]
White Vegetarian Chili
First off, the chili isn’t named after me . It’s just not your typical deep, thick, rich, tomato paste-y chili. Much lighter…and whiter. OK, here’s where the real blog post starts…..
Do you have any recipes that you’ve had for so long that you pretty much have it memorized, but you take [...]
Random stuff
Definitely can’t think of a “title” for this post. Just some stuff. Have you already noted my sour and woe-is-me mood? If not, it’s really bad – so excuse my ho-hum-ness. I’ve been working on some more men’s accessories which has been fun. Yay. I also did a custom double sided money clip, which I [...]
Mustard Greens Pesto and Mushroom Pasta
Yum. I’ve made this a bunch of times this winter and make it a bit differently each time and it just gets better with every adaptation. It’s adapted from this Bon Appetit recipe. The original calls for butter (just a little olive oil will do) and smoked mozzarella. Don’t get [...]
Some blog love
I just got a little note from Muse Silking Paintings that she featured me in a post of hers’! Thanks so much! Here it is – my earrings are #4:
Quiet weekend
I can’t believe it’s over!! I did all the things that you should do during a lazy weekend:
1. Read a book
(not pleasant – lots of tears and cringing and heartbreak, but necessary – seriously – you need to read this)
2. Played cribbage
Totally random – we found a board Saturday afternoon and learned [...]
New Jewelry in my shop!
I’ve been adding some new jewels in my shop the last couple days. Here’s what’s new…more to come too!
Oh! And, I also listed the cuff links and money clip that I blogged about a while back. Can’t wait to do more men’s accessories. So fun.
SMARTFISH
SMARTFISH is getting some blog love today. I first saw these adorable shoes via Mixed Plate and thought… “How perfect are these??!! I want to blog about these too!” Their shoes are handmade, sustainable and vegan. I love seeing CUTE leather alternatives for handbags and shoes.
So, after seeing them on Mixed [...]
Wheee!!! Tiny Etsy front page feature!
My Crescent earrings made it to the front page…sort of! In one of the scrolling Storque Articles at the bottom of Etsy’s home page there is an article called “Basic Skills” and my earrings are featured! Hooray! It’s so fun to see the amount of eyeballs that see your product if you [...]
