The most special part of my creator journey over the last couple of years has been the supportive community of friends I’ve acquired along the way 🫶 Thanks, Curtis and Marti of @edinboromarket for sharing these found treasures with me! And to every rad pal of mine that has ever shared materials with me, you are all gems and I love and appreciate you endlessly😊 I’ve been having so much fun designing new sea glass pieces lately and I can’t wait to create even more with this new batch!!! As many of you know, finding special pieces of sea glass can be difficult and time consuming, so this is such an enormous help! #seaglassjewelry #beachglassjewelry #beachcoming #seaglass #beachglass #handmadejewelry

Another custom bar necklace went out this week with a pair of matching hoops to one of the sweetest people who I’m very fortunate to call my friend, @brookebrace 😊 Brooke requested this set inspired by the layered gemstone bracelets that I make and she went for chevron amethyst as her stone of choice! I adore the variation in this stone and was so appreciative for the opportunity to put this together for her 💚 Thanks, Brooke!! #handmadejewelry #gemstonejewelry #jewelrymaker #customjewelry #artisanjewelry #handmadegifts

We have been putting some hours in with the drill lately! 🌊 Here are a few recent pairs of sea glass earrings that I’ve assembled. My soon-to-be mother-in-law kindly sorted through my collection of sea glass and put these pairs and many more together for me, I think she did a great job! 😊 In the order shown: 🌊 lime green (claimed) 🌊 aqua triangles with iridescent glass beads 🌊 clear smooth paddles with layered rings 🌊 amber with citrine beads 🌊 sea form (claimed) 🌊 aqua and clear quartz The sea glass used to create these pieces was sourced from the shores of Nova Scotia, Puerto Rico, and Lake Erie! I have quite a few new sea glass necklaces in some new styles available as well. I’m looking forward to sharing a look at those soon 😊 #SeaGlassJewelry #BeachGlassJewelry #HandmadeJewelry #BeachyJewelry #JewelryMaker #UniqueAccessories

A look into the beginnings of some new earrings designs👀🌊🐚 My talented friend Debra of @lakesidetranquilitymassagespa recently shared the prettiest, most unique shells with me that she had found to create a couple pairs of earrings for her with (the four beauties at the bottom of the mat) 😊 and I was so inspired after playing around with those that I couldn’t help but dig out my own shell collection! They still have a little ways to go, but I’m excited to share the finished pieces for Debra and offer a few new sea shell earrings pairs to all of you 😊 Have some treasures that you would like to have made into jewelry? I’m always happy to hear your custom requests and will let you know if your project is something I can help you with! #handmadejewelry #gemstonejewelry #handmadeearrings #beachyjewelry #beachjewelry #seashelljewelry #seaglassjewelry

A really happy Saturday spent vending at the @meadvillemarkethouse Farmers’ Market during the @secondsaturdaycommunitymarket in Meadville, PA 🌞🌿 As much as I love venturing to new places to share my art, there’s nothing quite like the opportunity to connect with my hometown community and catch up with old friends. 😊 Some of the local businesses / producers / artisans featured at the farmers’ market were: Fat Hawk Farm Nancy Schultz Soil Sisters Full Moon Mushrooms Strawberry Lane Produce @strawberrylaneproduce Rose Botanicals @rosebotanicals2020 Emma Falco Flowers Wild Yeast Bread Co. @wildyeastbreadco Shirley Barns Donutology @donutology_pa Boozy Beans @cussewagocreekdistillery & @frenchcreekcoffee Apologies if I missed anyone!

The @43jewelryco and @43.handmade May 2024 Event Schedule!🌷✨ May brings a few “firsts” such as my first independent marketing workshop, my first time vending in Pittsburgh (twice this month!), and my first Meadville Market House Farmers’ Market of the 2024 season! I decided to take it easy on myself and not include a large online collection release in the mix for May. I am planning to direct that energy toward settling into our new home / setting up my studio space, developing new products and designs, and working on further expanding and defining my businesses. If the opportunity to add some new items to the online collection arises, you can bet you’ll all be the first to know. As always, here’s the schedule laid out in text as well for those of you who prefer to view it in that format 👇 🎨 @southartspittsburgh Schoolhouse Art Show & Artist Market Saturday, May 4th 9:00 am - 3:00 pm Schoolhouse Art & History Center | 2600 South Park Rd, Bethel Park, PA 15102 👩‍🎨 @frenchcreekartscollective Marketing for Artists Workshop Sunday, May 5th 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm @hatch_hollow | 245 Chestnut St, Meadville, PA 16335 🥬 @meadvillemarkethouse Farmers’ Market Saturday, May 11th 9:00 am - 1:00 pm Meadville Market House | 910 Market St, Meadville, PA 16335 🌱 @1020_collective Spring Market Saturday, May 18th 11:00 am - 2:00 pm The 10/20 Collective | 1020 Holland St, Erie, PA 16501 💫 @lvmarkethouse Pop-up Saturday, May 25th 10:00 am - 6:00 pm Lawrenceville Market House | 4112 Butler St, Pittsburgh, PA 15201 Thanks for checking this out!

I visited my friends at the @meadvillemarkethouse Friday afternoon to add some new items to my display in the Market! Here’s a recent look at what’s available! I know many of you like to physically see / try-on the products before purchasing therefore this is great option for my local pals 😊 Not to mention, there’s a wonderful selection of local producers and makers to support any time you stop by the Meadville Market House 🏠 #handmadejewelry #gemstonejewelry #localmarket #artisanjewelry #handmadegifts

It didn’t come easy, and it never will 🤷🏻‍♀️ In some ways, I feel like I’ve been on this path all my life, whether I realized it or not. I’ve always found solace in the hours upon hours spent at my desk, pouring myself into my creative work. It was only just a year and half ago that I finally began to share and offer my art with all of you and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made💫 #jewelrymaker #handmadejewelry #gemstonejewelry #wirejewelry #artistsoninstagram
