Made with Intention…..
Wear with Intention

I’d like to introduce myself to you and thank you for visiting my shop and taking an interest in my work.
I have always been a creative person and throughout my life I have enjoyed working with beads, glass, wood, textiles and yarns and other mediums.

As a child I collected and played with marbles and reveled in their beauty. I became a rock hound and collector and spent hours combing beaches and shorelines looking for shells and pebbles to use in art and jewelry creations. As a young adult I made jewelry with beads purchased in North Africa and sold them to pay for my travels around Europe. As a young mother I took up stained glass and enjoyed making small glass birds, sun catchers and large panels to support my family before heading back to university.
I became an International Special Education teacher and while teaching overseas in Ethiopia, I traveled throughout the Horn of Africa, buying many beautiful beads and used them to make necklaces, earrings and bracelets that I sold upon returning to Canada.
More recently I turned to Gemstones, incorporating my life long interest in Natural Health and Healing, with jewelry!
Living now in the East Kootenays of British Columbia, I have been very well received here as many people are Health Conscious and have a great love for gemstones!

I research the meaning and healing properties of Gemstones and use this information to create jewelry that is specific for various emotional, physical and spiritual issues. I make my bracelets with intention and hand write the information about the healing properties on an attached card.
I have a studio in my back yard and spend most of my time doing custom orders and visiting local Craft Fairs and Farmer’s Markets in Cranbrook, Kimberley, Fernie, Baynes Lake and in nearby Alberta including Canmore, Calgary and Lethbridge.
I particularly enjoy speaking personally with people to help them discover what their needs are and then planning a piece of jewelry together. This involves personal consultation and allows the buyer to feel more connected to their purchase and then wear it with intention.
I find the feedback I receive fascinating. There are many people who come back and tell me how things have changed since they started wearing their gemstones. It is heartwarming to know that my clients are benefiting from their purchases and are keen to continue to use gemstones to help themselves, their family members and friends.

I purchase my beads from various locations in the world and buy in bulk in order to keep my prices as low as possible.

Please contact me for any specific spiritual, emotional or physical needs that you may have, if what you need is not in my shop I would be more than happy to help you decide what you are looking for and make it especially for you!

Thank you for visiting my shop!

Sincerely,
Wendy Tomlinson
