Apatico

I'll post about my sale this year, because I always do a sale. But I'm also going to have a few things that are "last chance". Every time I design something I make it and photograph it and put it on the site and its been very hard to let go, but for my own sanity I need to streamline things.

This crystal drip choker is here to stay though!

Thank you thank you thank you ❤️

A rare personal post. The past few weeks have been full of absolutely devastating losses for my family. My uncle suffered a bilateral stroke after open heart surgery and will likely never be the same. The following week, my momma was diagnosed with 4 types of aggressive cancer and the world took her from us less than a week later. My mom is my best friend, and words cannot describe the pain from this loss.

My mom and sister lived in a tiny town on the the Olympic Peninsula of Washington called Sequim, about 2.5 hours away from me in Seattle. Mom was the full-time caregiver for my grandparents and my sister moved in with her to help about 4 years ago. Grandpa passed away December 2023. Now we have to make hard choices about the care of my grandmother and her future with my sister.

It is very likely I will be splitting my time, at least in the recent future, between Seattle and Sequim, to help with my family. I anticipate this will not impact my work too much other than I have to be much more selective with rush requests and studio visits will only be available for part of the week.

I haven't even begun to approach the impacts these bs tariffs will have on my prices. I keep a large stock of supplies on hand, so at least for now, my prices will remain the same. I'm going to trim unnecessary costs as much as possible before raising prices (such as eliminating some of my more frivolous packaging). I may be discontinue some styles and eliminate some product offerings. I'll be sure to share updates as they come.

Thanks for reading ❤️
