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. |

Custom Rings and Weekend Review
Saturday, I spent the day with my sister shopping and eating. What a JOY! We had so much fun! Even though we both live in Seattle, we hadn’t seen each other in a couple months. So, needless to say, some serious sister time was in order for both of us. For those of you with [...]
Basil and Mint Pesto
OK, last recipe for a while. I promise to get back to jewelry postings soon! Yesterday, I mentioned the Basil Mint Pesto I made the other day and thought I’d share the recipe. The mint really adds a freshness to standard pesto. I add a big squirt of lemon juice to and that brightens it [...]
Roasted Fingerling Potatoes and Tarragon Yogurt
As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been trying to be better about using the food I have available both in my garden and my pantry this last week. Herbs are one of the things that always do well and I totally take advantage of their abundant existence. I was reminded by my favorite [...]
Roasted Beet and Beet Green Salad
I have been having an awful lot of fun in the kitchen the last week. I’ve been trying to use the vegies from my garden as much as possible and items in my pantry as much as I can so I don’t have to go to market as often. It’s been a fun challenge and [...]
Shop Update
I finally just finished my shop update. I started on it yesterday and it was just taking way longer that I thought it would! So, I finished up today. I’m really happy with all my new goodies. I added 10 new items and I also marked down a bunch of items. You will find those [...]
New Jewelry Sneak Peak
I’m updating my shop tomorrow! I’m so excited to share my new jewels with you! I was going to try to do it today, but there’s just too much to do! But, tomorrow, for sure! Just another reminder, I will be adding some items to my SALE section as well. So stay tuned tomorrow afternoon. [...]
August Harvest
My lovely little vegetable garden sure is looking different these days. Fall is coming. This weekend, I pulled out some bolted lettuces, broccoli and harvested the rest of my fingerling potatoes. That made room for more lettuce, more broccoli and mustard greens for fall and winter. I can’t wait to make mustard green pesto pasta – [...]
The beginnings of a shop update
Well, haven’t I been quiet?! I’ve been keeping up with orders and working on some custom designs. And, feeling pretty yucky physically, so my energy has been low and blogging sounded too hard. Plus, when you hurt, it’s hard to sound happy and upbeat. Not to worry – I have a Dr’s appointment on Monday [...]
Tiny Shop Update
Well, I’m really trying to get back in the swing of things after our vacation! It’s been hard! Do you ever need a vacation after your vacation?! I think I do!! This weekend (I know it’s only Tuesday!) I’m definitely going to get caught up on my rest.
I really want to tell you about my [...]
