About me where do I start..... I've been designing and making jewelry since 2006. It really started by accident. I had taken a class (inspired by my neighbor) and made a beautiful bracelet out of Lampwork and Swarovski Beads. I was so proud and couldn't wait to wear the bracelet to work and show my coworkers. So one day while wearing that "Special Bracelet" a colleague wanted to purchase the piece (which was the first piece I made). So my passion for the art of hand making & designing jewelry took off and was fueled by requests for Custom Made Pieces. I'm originally from Washington, D.C. and after many years relocated to beautiful Southern Maryland. I live here with my wonderful husband and my two babies, Smokie (border collie) and Champ (husky/shepherd mix). My passions and hobbies are designing jewelry, especially custom orders, learning, and gardening. They're both very similar - they help me to relax, get back to nature, be creative and most of all, very therapeutic.
