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. |

What I Learned
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 [...]
Refining, refining
I have some new goodies to share with you today! The top left Disc Ring and Onyx Earrings are already in the shop. The rest I will post later in the week.
I had been without a camera for a few weeks and I finally am back in business with a brand new one. It got [...]
How could I forget + Birthday gift
I don’t know how I let this lovely slip through when I posted all my new goodies the other day…well, yes, I do. I was wearing it . Well, here is a GORGEOUS yellow quartz pendant that I’m totally in love with. I will add one of my “blur the edges” photos for you [...]
More work + iPhoto trick
I have a few quick things to show you! And, one that I need an opinion on…I’m opening a can of worms, maybe . I’m still in a crazy ring phase, but I thought I would do some bezel set necklaces this week (plus one random wire wrapped one)…Here’s the newest batch…

Crooked Trails Trunk Show
What a nice weekend! It’s been awfully nice in Seattle and I’ve gotten so much yard work done just in the last 2 weeks. I’m so ready to plant my garden and just can’t wait for spring and summer. Sit on the deck, grill, drink vodka tonics…oh, I cannot wait.
Besides my warm weather dreaming, I [...]
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 [...]
New Tools = New Techniques
I LOVE tools. I love researching new ones, getting new ones, and of course, practicing new techniques with them. I just got a few extra toys, so, I finally am set up to do some basic soldering. I fuse with fine silver all the time, which takes less steps and less heat, but there is [...]
Oxidizing silver
Well, for most jewelers oxidizing is probably something they’ve been doing forever. For me, I just started. And, yes, another obsession. I can’t get away from it! I love it! I especially love mixing it with gold. Oh, so pretty. I’m still in the experimentation phase. I’ve been using liver of sulfur, which is pretty [...]
