One-of-a-Kind Designs

After years of being a stay-at-home Mom, I decided to go back to working outside my home so I could help pay for my girl's college.  (That was a very long time ago, so it seems!)  Circumstances led me to a fabulous doll collectible company and I'll admit I had more fun than I probably should have while collecting a paycheck.  I grew to LOVE, yes love the artists and their limited edition dolls or even one-of-a-kind dolls.  I stood in awe of their talent and was envious of their ability to be at home or in their studios creating...simply bringing to life all of the images they held in their dreams.

Now, years later, I am finding I never lost my desire to dream, design, create, and grow my own business. Although I wish I could sculpt a doll, I have discovered I am much better at sculpting jewelry.  I love wearing jewelry...it makes me feel so feminine and complete.  It's interesting how I used to pay hundreds of dollars for rings, necklaces, earrings...always giving my darling hubby ideas as to what to buy me for Christmas or birthdays.  This is not my focus any longer...and I think hubby is extremely happy! 

I just love to create jewelry that you can't find on a department store shelf...true, blue, one-of-a-kind type jewelry.  Handcrafted with more love than you could ever imagine.  Never before have I received so many compliments on what I'm wearing for jewelry, and I love the look I get when I say I made it!  I liken it to how I feel when I spend a little extra on a really nicely made outfit versus buying something inexpensive.  When I wear that extra special outfit, I feel like a million bucks!

Do you have a special outfit or occasion that needs a special piece of jewelry?  If you don't see something in my Etsy Shop, please call me.  I would be honored to help you with just the right piece of jewelry at a price you can afford.  Yes, I am rebuilding my career by finally going after my dreams!

Moving forward one day at a time!
