I am a married mother of two beautiful girls, Madeleine and Liliana, and I teach second grade! As busy as I am, I find time to make jewelry and bridal accessories because I love it! I am inspired by beautiful, old jewelry that I find when I go treasure hunting at my favorite local antique shops. I enjoy giving vintage jewelry new life by updating it and making it fresh! Self-taught, I began simply by twisting wire with gemstones and pearls. Through experimentation, reading books, and using my imagination I have learned many jewelry making techniques.
