My Journey, Your Jewelry
My Journey, Your Jewelry
Thank you for stopping by to see what I've been making.
I’ve been designing boutique-style jewelry for over twenty years, but the spark began long before that. As a child, my mom made sure I always had paints, baubles, and craft supplies within reach—she knew creating fed my soul. It wasn’t until 2005, when a dear friend opened a bead shop, that I discovered how much joy making jewelry brought to me.
Since then, I’ve taken classes in everything from cold connections to lampwork to precious metal clay, but my heart always comes back to assemblage and—let’s be honest—anything beady and unique. This hobby is fun!
After twenty years, my designs still dance between earthy, boho, and retro-vintage styles, created for self-expression for any mood or occasion. Who knows? Your next go-to treasure might just be waiting to meet you here!
I live in Carlinville, Illinois, with my husband, Mervin. Our busy, joy-filled crew includes seven children, eighteen grandchildren, one sweet dog, and three mischievous cats.
I hope you enjoy my shop!
