Normally I do a gratitude post this week, but I honestly feel that Thanksgiving is every day. There is so much to be grateful for on a daily basis, even and especially on the days when life looks bleak. So instead I’ll tell you what I’m excited about, and that is my very first Small […]
Here’s a peek at the studio. I’m busy replenishing my angels and frosties inventory for Small Business Saturday.

The Wilder Mansion Holiday Market was a lovely event. The drive to Elmhurst was bright with scenic Fall colors. The Mansion is impressive. I can only imagine what it must have been like to live there in the stately rooms with beautiful crown molding, fancy chandeliers and gran fireplaces. Unloading was in full swing when […]

September closed out with a pop-up at Ayla’s Fall Bead Bazaar. I had perused the bazaar last year and was thrilled to be one of the vendors this year. What’s not to like about being surrounded by sparkles and beauty? Last year’s Pyrite strand made it into a set. I paired it with my Desigual […]
