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. |

Getting Personal
Lately…
What’s been going on here? Well, I’m glad you asked. I am just about finally caught up with a slew of custom and made to order items and am going to finally start in on some new goodies today. I got a few new stones last month that I’m looking forward to getting my [...]
Loaded
This is how many wonderful, juicy, bright red strawberries I’ve been picking from the garden nearly everyday for the last week or so. Strawberry pancakes, strawberry shortcake, strawberry sauce and ice cream… Yum.
I have about 2 lbs right now and I think I may have to try a strawberry buckle. What the hell is a [...]
After the race
I’m just about recovered from a wonderful, wonderful trip back home to Duluth, MN for the half marathon. What a whirlwind! Race day was a rainy, cold one. We got to the start line at about 5:30AM and ended up standing outside in the pouring rain and 40 some degrees for an hour! It was [...]
Grandma’s Marathon
*that’s me! nice socks : ) i think my dad took this photo.
When I was a kid, volunteering for Grandma’s Marathon in my home town of Duluth, MN was absolutely the highlight of my summer. My parents were the captains of the 8 mile station for many years and the marathon was simply [...]
Playing Hooky
It’s been 2 glorious days of warm sunshine and blue sky here in Seattle. Alas, it is Seattle, and the rain should make a return tomorrow. I’ve been missing the warm and sun for so long I just had to bask in it while I could. So for the last couple days I played a [...]
Spring Fever
I’ve been pretty absent from my blog lately. But, that stops now! I have a few more things still to share with you. So, what have I been busy with? Besides studio time, I’ve been quite a domestic goddess. Here is what my last couple weeks have been filled with…
Making a kitchen wall organizer and [...]
Back from Vacation
We’re back from our fabulous Cabo vacation! I can hardly believe it’s all over already. I tried very hard to be in the moment knowing that time would go too fast and I would be sad when it was all over. Being in the warm sun was beyond fantastic. I’m so ready for spring and [...]
A Cabin Getaway + Tools
My sweet husband and I took the dogs on a last minute cabin getaway this weekend to Lakedale Resort. There is just something about getting away even if it’s just a little ways away for a little amount of time. It was restorative. It was cozy and wonderful. It was just what I needed. There [...]
November…
Wow! It’s November! This weekend was full of goofy Halloween antics. Scary movies, pumpkin chocolate chip bread, pumpkin carving (single handedly by Hubs), pumpkin seeds roasting, costumes, trick or treaters, waaaayyy too much candy…you get the idea. The hubby and I thought it was hilarious to dress up our dogs. Kyra was a pumpkin and [...]
I Made a Cake
I made a cake. That’s just about the most exciting thing that’s happened here at the Staples’ lately. Ever since mid summer, I’ve been having health problems and dealing with not feeling well, doctor appointments, tests, etc takes an awful lot of time and energy. I’ve been a bad blogger! I promise to be a [...]
