Summer City Market Show

So one thing to know about me is that I'm an introvert. But I've come to the conclusion that I need to try selling at the city market — to get my name out there, at least locally. And if I'm going to show up, I'm going to show up with the pieces that mean the most to me.

These are the items I chose to represent my body of work.

Not my entire catalog — that would take a table the size of a parking lot. But the pieces that tell the story of how I design: the focal bead that leads, the supporting beads that listen, the materials that carry history and meaning before I ever put them on a wire. Natural stones. Recycled glass. Handmade paper beads. Charms that say something.

Every bracelet here was made by hand, one bead at a time, in my home studio — with occasional quality supervision from my cat, Jack Jack, whose standards are high and whose methods are his own.

If something catches your eye, pick it up. That's how I shop for beads, and it's how I think jewelry should be chosen — by feel, by instinct, by the thing that stops you before you know why.

I'm glad you're here.
