I'm happy to share my artistic passion with the world:)
I don't want to say my dream job just fell into my lap but MY DREAM JOB JUST FELL INTO MY LAP!
I have always enjoyed creating jewelry, well pretty things of any sort. Starting as a preteen with friendship bracelets and hair wraps with embroidery thread. Then onto sculpting with Fimo clay, beads, incense burners, pendants, whatever the whim. When I hit 15 it was jewelry, SILVER jewelry. My first design was a toe anklet combo. It was beautiful! Too bad I didn't have Etsy 30 years ago!
Of course, life happened. My son was born, then work work work. I got into the medical field because that's where the money is, right? I put in a couple of decades working my fingers to bone, as they say and developed some stress related health issues. Yeah, it was time to slow down.
Shortly after that revelation, I met a wonderful person that made her own silver jewelry AND she wanted to show me how! I was out of my mind excited. It came back so easy, like I had never stopped. That creative part of my brain, woke up. I built up a supply of nice pieces and did a couple of shows. I never looked back. Today I am as healthy and as happy as can be. I started this Etsy shop in 2019; so far I am loving it!
Thank you to the world of handmade and small business supporters out there! You make it possible for people like me to follow their dream:)
