An update update:

Yesterday was a hot freaking mess, full stop. I have no idea what actually happened, but I have heard from others that use the same host as I do that they’ve also been seeing issues.

That aside, holy s**t. Somehow you all found a way... when I couldn’t even see the shop myself... you showed up. And thank the freaking Beard for finding out that the link from my email still somehow took people to the shop. It took an hour to kind of* remedy the situation.

Amazing sales aside, you all showed up for me emotionally. It was nothing short of amazing to have messages pouring in. Messages filled with so much love and compassion and support. That’s how I really saw this little business yesterday- I saw it for who my customers are, who my “followers” are, who supports me day in and day out both here on this platform, on facebook, and through my email list. It filled my entire cup, I have no other words... I am so proud of who this space attracts. I am so grateful.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for showing up for me*, the human, not the jewelry (but also the jewelry too)!

This loop in loop bracelet was fully made by hand from wire. It’s a technique that’s about 5,000 years old and honestly, I was hesitant to include it yesterday, I wasn’t sure if anyone truly understood the labor and love that goes into making a chain like this one, all of the experimenting beforehand to get it right, the amount it wrecks your fingertips... it found a home so quickly it made my heart sing.

All in all, all of this to say... Thank you for seeing me so fully, for loving my work, and for understanding what it all takes. xx

I was going to write a Tuesday Truth only to find out that it’s actually Wednesday.

Here’s the long and the short of it- I massively struggle to show up in this space on “the grid.” I can show up to stories all day long, but leaving any kind of a bread crumb trail of a life here otherwise sometimes feels like too much work, and I know... but this is “my work.” Yeah, that’s not lost on me.

I wrote a very very very long post, but here I am again, choosing to pull back. To delete it. I don’t know what it is anymore... I am deeply grateful for what this space has given me, what it continues to give me... thank you for hanging in there with me and my business and for putting so much trust in it as I struggle to give these cubes time out of my very precious life. I think that’s all it is, I treasure my time so much, it’s hard to give pieces of it away anymore than I feel like I already do and have. Xx love you all!
