How to manage the feeling of being indispensable and akways give some time to yourself

Wherever I am, there is always a good opportunity to connect with other women and talk about the pieces that adorn us.

Today is a travel day, as I’m heading to Florida for a work event. It’s always nice to step away from the daily routine, but when you think about waking up early, and the uncertainties and little challenges that come with traveling, it doesn’t always feel so nice. One of the things I enjoy most about traveling is observing people from different origins and cultures, and the diversity that naturally appears. Among women especially, you notice completely different hairstyles an

I went several days without writing, and today I realized how much I needed it. This afternoon was already a good one, lunch with my husband, followed by a stop at one of our local breweries where a Zydeco band was celebrating Mardi Gras. Then, as if to top it all off, I received an Etsy order that instantly brightened my day. Receiving an order is always exciting, and lately they’ve been coming a bit more frequently. But what I treasure most is the connection with the buyer

We eat first with our eyes. A beautifully set table turns food into an experience and serving into an act of care.

Uneven sea glass, gold-plated wire, and gemstones come together in animal-shaped bezels, creating wearable mosaics inspired by nature.

Choosing to share our lives with pets is a decision many of us gladly make, even though it comes with meaningful changes. Having a pet means committing to proper medical care, good nutrition, and sometimes arranging a sitter when we need to be away for a night or a few days. Despite these added responsibilities, we welcome pets into our homes because they become true members of our families, and we adore them. I still remember calling my little cat the “queen of the house,” r

Creating a website feels like the start, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg, behind it is technical work many owners face alone.

My love for elephants began when I was very young. One of my closest friends chose small elephant figures as keepsakes for her wedding guests, we were both quite young at the time, she was probably only 17. Because I was her best friend, I helped her choose them. We ended up selecting a few transparent glass elephants, and one of them became my very first elephant. The woman at the shop shared something that stayed with me. According to Hindu beliefs, elephants bring happines

There’s a kind of frustration that doesn’t get talked about enough in the handmade world. We spend hours designing, shaping, turning, polishing. We photograph our pieces in the best light we can find. We post on social media, write captions, use hashtags, stay consistent. We refresh our phone, we wait, and sometimes… nothing happens, just silence. It can make you question everything, our own effort, our work, our talent, even ourselves . We’re often told that the problem is w

Before a word is spoken, before a gesture is made, we tell a story. And, that story is told through what we wear. Jewelry, perhaps more than any other accessory, lives closest to our skin. It is not only seen; it is felt . When we choose jewelry, we are rarely choosing something neutral. Some pieces are inherited, gold bracelets worn thin by time, a necklace passed down from a mother, an aunt, or a grandmother. These pieces carry weight beyond their metal. They speak of famil

This year marked a quiet but powerful transformation: from a life centered on technology to one rooted in creativity.

During this year, I believed that if a piece of jewelry was beautiful, that was enough. I focused on design, materials, and inspiration, the ocean, nature, little details that make each piece special. But one small moment changed the way I think about jewelry forever. I gifted a necklace I had made with so much love to a dear friend. It suited her perfectly, and I was excited to see her wear it. Later, she gently confessed something that made my heart sink: she couldn’t open

Santa Fe’s beauty is undeniable, but its high altitude taught us to slow down, hydrate, eat lightly, and truly listen to our bodies.

A heartfelt reflection on the beauty and stress of the holiday season—decorating, family, work, creativity, and finding joy amid the chaos o

“Gifts of Love” is an expression I heard recently, and it immediately resonated with me. It made me think about the dedication artists like me pour into every single piece we create. Our work is never just an object, it’s personal. Each creation feels like a little piece of us, almost like a baby we nurture with patience, care, and intention. When a piece is finished, we don’t simply let it go; we hope it finds someone who will truly love it, cherish it, and connect with it.

Hoy fui a una de esas tiendas donde venden materiales para bisutería y, al terminar mi compra, quedé completamente encantada con una de las chicas en la caja. Iba adornada con al menos diez, o quizá más…, pulseras, y parecía que no le alcanzaban los dedos para todos los anillos que llevaba. No me fijé si usaba aretes o collares; su cabello largo y el uniforme seguramente los ocultaban. Pero estoy segura de que llevaba de todo, y pensé de inmediato: esta es mi clienta ideal .

A chance encounter at a jewelry supply store made me pause and reflect on how we adorn ourselves.
