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. |

Summertime
I love summer! And, it’s been a busy one so far! Lots of socializing, exploring, gardening, eating, cooking and working. So, the usual…except the socializing : ). These hermits are out of their shells when the sun comes out.
So, a little exploring…
For you local dog lovers, we went to Whidbey Island and visited the most [...]
Life lately
Ahhhh, life lately. It’s been fun, busy and quite sweet. Let’s cover some business first. There was the Giveaway Winner! Very exciting! A BIG congrats to Miss Heidi.
Then, my most favorite update Etsy has made for quite a while. Custom “About” pages for all shop owners. What a great job they did enabling us to [...]
The first blackberries
Our first blackberries of the season. Yums.
Our first blackberries of the season with greek yogurt, raw honey and almonds. Yummier.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 – [...]
How to take care of Erin
What a day! For the last couple months I have not felt well…physically, mentally, emotionally. I’ve been trying to figure out why (because, really, life is good!) and it’s only caused me more anxiety, which makes me feel worse physically – yuck. So today I decided to do something different. Take a day to take [...]
How does your garden grow?
A quick jewelry break! My first love may be jewelry, but the last couple years, my second love has been my garden. I grew up watching my mom in the garden and eating fresh vegies from it all summer. Now, as an adult, I’ve gotten really nostalgic about that part of my childhood and have [...]
