I was boxing up an order the other day and thought it'd be fun to show you what you can expect when you place an order from me. Read through to find out how you can score some store credit by returning your boxes! Each order comes with a hand written card from me to you! If you're sending your order as a gift, I can also send a special greeting from you. I love to give back to the artist & maker community whenever possible, so all the cards you receive have come from individu

Spring season has brought a breath of creativity to our maker community here in Tucson, and I was fortunate to team up with Felicity Howells clothing designs, Amanda Williams and spend a couple hours out at the El Conquistador Hilton Resort for a photo shoot. I brought along some of my new favorite jewelry pieces to accessories her new summer collection. Sarah Whiting (Ballads by Sarah) always blows me away with her camera skills.

I've been planning a blog post on my adventures there, but with a new jewelry line to create and set up, the blog had to wait- until now! I've been going to the Tucson Gem and Mineral show for over ten years now, not always every year, but usually no more then 2 years apart.
