When my mom used to say, “You don’t know how good you have it,” why is it I never believed her? It’s funny and often makes me curious why I took the simple things for granted; jumping in nicely raked piles of leaves, wearing shorts in winter, building massive large blankets tents with my brother and just sitting on the front porch with pigtails and ice cream. Now more then ever I miss being a carefree child.

What does this have to do with jewelry? Well let me explain, I grew up around a family of artisans all unique and fascinating in their own way. They inspired me to continue in the arts. So whenever I’m not designing websites or print media, I’m painting and making jewelry. When it was brought to my attention as to what collection I want to share with young women everywhere, I could not imagine anything else but bringing you a collection based around a simple time, my child hood memories. Isn’t that why we wear jewelry after all? To bring back a happy memory, to make us feel beautiful and make us feel carefree.

I hope you enjoy looking through my collection.
