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. |

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 [...]
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 [...]
What was I so worried about?
They’re here…..Washington cherries. I haven’t forgotten that the rest of the country is experiencing summer. Warm sun, shorts, tank tops, barbecues, evenings on the porch. Trust me – I am well aware as I button up my sweater every day here in Seattle. But, thankfully it has arrived in other parts of our state and [...]
Gorgeous new ring…and a broken promise
Well, I promised to share gem photos from the gem show I went to today, but alas, the gem show was total crap and I nearly left in tears. So sorry not to have any delicious new stones to show you. I’ll have to get my gem fix another time! I still have lots of [...]
Gem show in Tucson
I’m busy making my shopping list for the gem show in Tucson coming up this week. Should be insanely overwhelming . There is no describing the enormity of this “show”. It’s not really a show – the whole city is taken over by gems and jewels, fossils and minerals. It’s [...]
Help?
I need some opinions and I know you have them… . I’ve been (slowly) working on some brand updates and am stuck on step one and the most important – my logo. I wanted to get away from the big, pink, tropical flower. When I first created my brand, the flower [...]
Secret
If you are my husband, stop reading! If you know my husband and can’t keep a secret…stop reading! Unless you want to ruin Christmas.
OK, now that they are all gone, I can tell you about a couple of my husband’s gifts. I usually stay away from handmade gifts for the hubby – [...]
A treasury…now front page!
My beautiful ruffle treasury made it to the front page early this morning! How cool is that?! I’m sorry I slept through it, but one of the designers that I featured was nice enough to tell me about it. I don’t have a screenshot yet, but I do have an archive so [...]
A treasury!
So, those of you who aren’t regular Etsians, well, you should be, but anyway, the Treasury is an ever-changing, member-curated shopping gallery of handpicked items. Members can feature their favorite items, items selected on a theme or just whatever they like. If “popular” enough, your treasury can be featured on Etsy’s home page. And, [...]
A song for you…
I love music. I listen to it while I work out, while I work, while I drive, while I cook…well, you get the idea. Just about every week I have a new favorite song, so I thought I would share some with you occasionally. Here’s my FAVORITE right now – Take [...]
