- about me ::
It's hard to remember when my love of jewelry began. But, I do remember and know that the reason my favorite ensemble has always been {and will always be} a crisp white top and a pair of great-fitting dark denim jeans is due to my love for jewelry. I'm a simple gal, but I love to accessorize and dressing simply always seemed like the easiest way for me to experiment with all different styles of jewelry. Another clear memory is my desire to own a business. I have always dreamt of owning a little boutique in Paris - full of fabulous finds & treasures - and living in an apartment above. Life has taken me in a different direction, and that's okay! But, after the birth of my son, I became inspired to make my dream a reality.
I began creating jewelry in 2002 while living in Indiana. I happened to live {too} close to a bead boutique and after frequent visits, my love for designing jewelry grew. Friends & family soon began requesting jewelry and I decided to take the plunge and started to sell my designs. I enjoyed participating in art shows throughout the MidWest. My jewelry was available at several boutiques in the area and I was creating custom designs for brides & bridesmaids. It was so much fun and after a move to Southern California + a brief hiatus, I am back to designing & creating again!
I have a passion for design, beauty and simplicity. I enjoy fashion, appreciate art, delight in a great find, LOVE a bargain & care about the environment. But, most of all, I love God...and my family is the most important thing in my life!
I am also the owner + editor-in-chief of IKnowAMom.com- an innovative online resource supporting mom business owners. Thanks for stopping by...
