It is easier than ever to order online. A few clicks and it's at your door before you even remember that you bought it! But when you choose to shop small, you're doing something more meaningful than just buying stuff from a manufacturer. You're supporting a real person, a dream, and a whole lot of behind-the-scenes work. Every time someone places an order with a small business, it’s a BIG deal. There’s usually a happy dance involved. Seriously, it's not just a sale, it's a celebration. Because that order means so much more than just money. It means someone out there connected with the piece and that makes it all worth it. That necklace you bought? It wasn’t mass-produced in a factory. The pieces were picked out, put together, and packaged by hand—often with a cup of coffee nearby and maybe a cat sitting on the desk watching it all happen. At least mine does anyway. 🐾 When you buy handmade, you're not just getting a product. You’re getting time, creativity, care...

You've got to admit, there’s something special about handmade jewelry. There is a story behind each piece that has been so lovingly created by the artisans's own hands, not from a factory that mass produces pieces.  What makes each handmade piece special are the little imperfections and the fact that someone put time, care, and their heart and soul into making it.  Each piece is unique just like each one of us. No two pieces or people are exactly alike. Think of each piece as a small piece of wearable art. Because of the all of reasons mentioned above, it makes you feel a little bit more connected to the piece.  As an artisan, I can tell you that we put everything into what we do and it gives me great satisfaction when I can support other small artists and craftspeople by purchasing from them. So, next time you want to treat yourself or buy a gift, consider buying from a small business. They'll be forever grateful and you'll feel a sense of pride knowing that you suppor...

In the world of jewelry crafting, there's a certain allure to breathing new life into old treasures. Vintage beads, with their timeless charm and unique character, offer a perfect avenue for creating jewelry pieces that are both environmentally conscious and utterly captivating.

From delicate glass beads of the Art Deco period to the vibrant hues of 1960s plastic beads, the possibilities are as endless as they are enchanting.

By repurposing these beads, we contribute to reducing the demand for newly manufactured materials, lessening our environmental footprint. ...
