Profile

Location:: Maui, Hawaii

About Me:: Escaping into my little world of creating whenever possible, I find enjoyment and tranquility transforming bits of earth and sea into beautiful, feminine (with just the right amount of funky) pieces of wearable art. Inspiration is easily found in the amazing island that surrounds me...sparkling rays of sunlight bouncing off the blue ocean, playful waves that toss about an array of colorful shells, green palm trees blowing in the trade winds, majestic and vibrant sunsets. Often my jewelry can be seen delicately gracing the neckline of Maui's many beach brides, as well as women all over the world.

I'm a work at home mom...I run my jewelry business, do the bookkeeping for our family business and homeschool my son. I love making jewelry and I love my customers. I've had great fun meeting so many nice people over the 4 years I've been selling online. I've been making jewelry since about 8 years old...making it for others now has brought me a new love for it..just knowing it's been given as a loving gift or played an important part on a very special day.

If you have any questions...don't be shy..just email me!

Sapphire Dreams

I have finally escaped my tax prep prison and am back with some new jewelry to offer. I am in love with these new sapphire blue pearls..they are so lustrous as they shimmer blue with a hint of purple. I bought the petal keshi shapes about a year ago and had nothing to match them until recently when I came across some coin pearls and fat rice pearls at two different vendors. They all match perfectly. I'll be sad

Totally Handcrafted Ceramic Beads

Snow on Maui!

It's been so cooooold! Sometimes I think I forget how cold it can get here in the winter in upcountry Maui...but I really don't think it's been this cold for a while. Yesterday in Makawao it was 54 degrees outside at 10:30 a.m. I know thats not cold for most who live on the mainland..but my body is not acclamated to it nor do we have heaters. So I'm walking around in layers of clothing, double socks and my wonderfully warm chennel scarf that my friend Tina of…
