Get to Know
****** GREETINGS! ******* For over 30 years, my work has graced the homes, businesses and bodies of 100% satisfied customers throughout northern NJ and NY state. I've done everything from sewing, beading, woodworking, wedding accessories, painted furniture, pottery, porcelain and interiors, painted and embellished clothing to furniture refinishing, graphic art, wreaths and florals, floorcloths, signs and much more and of course, jewelry. Lots of jewelry. I also love working with vintage and antique materials, and have a nice stock of fabrics and trims if this is your fancy. CUSTOM WORK: Everything I make is truly one-of-a-kind (unless you order duplicates specifically), and I'd be happy to work with you to create something special. If I feel for some reason that I'm not able to fulfill your request, I will be honest and tell you this so we can try to find out how to get what you want. I work closely with clients to ensure we have a shared vision before ever finalizing an agreement. I am a stickler for detail so I ask a lot of questions and invite the same, and in the end, it works. If you see something in my shop that you like and would like it in a different size, color, etc. or something completely different, just let me know, and I will be sure to get right back to you to discuss your needs. If you have something that you would like 'reinvented' or refurbished, I can do that for you as well. Do you have a favorite old necklace that is missing some beads, or isn't in style anymore but has great components? Show me what you have, and I'll see what I can do to give it a 'facelift'.
