Providing handmade jewelry and inspirational gifts created from reclaimed and renewed items. The "History is in the Making" and the possibilities are endless!  

An old family crib becomes 9 unique keepsakes!

Making it meaningful one creation at a time. Each unique and deeply meaningful creation is inspired by nature, history, trends and by the personal memories of my clients. Handmade, uniquely inspired jewelry and gifts can be the one-of-a-kind, special keepsakes that your recipient will cherish for a lifetime.

Meaning and memories are preserved by making NEW CREATIONS of jewelry, photography and decor with  my material or yours that is personal, meaningful, historical, old, found, recycled, out of style, non-functional,   or just because its worth preserving. 

Meaningful and Inspirational

In a highly technological world where we are rarely making lasting connections, people are longing to be more deeply touched and inspired. I am preserving the meaning and significance something can have by connecting people with the items I create.

"By using what I feel are my God given talents, I am hand crafting unique creations of jewelry, photography, special gifts and décor. I am sharing some of the touching stories that accompany these creations along the journey and following my heart in the hope of encouraging others as well. Renewing treasures of unique wood, glass, jewelry and findings from another time or place or by working with your personal or meaningful items, I want you to be touched by the piece you choose or that I customize especially for you."

Attempting to take ourselves deeper than our incomplete sentence texting, short e-mail conversations and superficial gifts that say: "Made in China"... it is my hope that my clients look beyond the item to a connection with the significance of the creation. That may have to do with the material from which it's made, the fact that it is renewed using what we already have, or the meaning behind the item. A handmade meaningful creation can leave a lasting impression. Choose to keep the creation or present it as a special holiday gift. It can be a conversation piece, preserve a special meaning, ignite a memory, or encourage a story. A unique memento, a piece transformed into handmade jewelry or inspirational gift goes beyond what only the eye can see, being touched by the History in the Making.

Imagine your old jewelry, pieces of wood from a family barn or home or a special piece of broken furniture sitting in the attic, becoming a new unique creation for yourself or family members.
