I grew up in a pretty rural town, just south of Buffalo, NY. My father started his own company around the time I was born, so naturally I was born with an entrepreneurial spirit. It was only a matter of time before I, too, found something I loved enough to turn it into my very own business.

I grew up creating things. Ever since I was a child, I was always cooking, coloring, sewing, crocheting...you name it, I did it. Living in a rural area definitely helped my creative spirit flow - we didn't even have a satellite dish until I was 13! I had to come up with something to do to occupy myself, and with the encouragement and help of my grandmother, I taught myself to sew, crochet, and cook. My first sewing machine was from the '60's, one of those machines that was built into the sewing table. It was fussy and never kept the thread tension properly, but I loved sewing with it.

When I was about 18, I was watching a television program and one of the women on the show was a jewelry designer. She created the prettiest necklace for another character on the show, and I wanted so badly to recreate that necklace! So I went out, bought some jewelry supplies...and fell in love with yet another art form. Since that day, I'm constantly finding some new jewel or bead or chain that I want to incorporate into my designs. Everything I make is made with both practicality and beauty in mind. Simplicity is my main focus when creating something new. I love to create pieces that are simple, yet pretty...something one could wear with jeans and a tshirt, or with that little black dress!

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my little shop! I hope you'll find something you LOVE!
