Another day & another pair of earrings taking shape ✨
Navy sandstone, moonstone, labradorite, apatite, & those star beads that I can't seem to stop using.

These are also available in my Etsy if you’ve been eyeing them, atealeaf.etsy.com 🍃
It’s always cool to see what different shops choose to carry. Thanks to @hellofromportland and @21acres for supporting my work and picking out these honeybee + honeydrop earrings. Each pair is wire wrapped by hand, one tiny loop at a time.
We’ve been busy bees over here lately 🐝🍯 Packin’ up wholesale orders from the Faire market and sending these pieces off to small shops across the U.S.

I have these guys (along with their earring twins) at The Other Plant Sale today, on Saturday. If you’re local, come say hi & see them in person!
Also available on Etsy & Faire, if trailside shopping isn’t your thing. 😉
Here’s the gold snail necklace hanging out on a piece of citrine from my collection. 🐌 I redesigned this piece not long ago. Same snail spirit, just a little more bold & intentional.
A real-life cutie who helped spark the redesign. 🐌
Sometimes a design just calls for a fresh take. This lil snail started as a sketch, but I recently gave it a whole new look. It’s more defined but still inspired by the snails I spot while hiking in the Columbia Gorge. 🏞️
I love the clean silhouette & how it captures these tiny trail friends.
Back at the St. Johns Bizarre this Saturday! It’s been a minute — last time I did this event was 2011 (!!). Find me at booth 127 near 7425 N Leavitt Ave with nature-inspired jewelry, earrings, new ear jacket designs, mystery bags, rainbow-making suncatchers, and sale pieces. 💗
My favorite time of the year!
Love it!
Aww, this makes me miss the coast!
So delicate! Wonderful job! 😍
Aww, Mazi is the sweetest! 😍
Such a regal throne 😂

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I love giving vintage beads a new life. ♻️🌱🫶 I found these sweet bellflower beads a few years back and finally turned them into something special.
They’re now live — hope you love them!
Deep in the forest, I stumbled upon the sweetest surprise, bell-shaped flowers, each adorned with the tiniest raindrops. 🌧
These whimsical earring jackets will be blooming into the sh🤍p this Friday!

Took a break for some gorge time (the Columbia Gorge—get it, haha), & a little sparkle came along for the adventure! Loved how the sunlight danced through my newest earrings like mini sun catchers. Check out my Stories to see some forest blooms & even a critter I met along the hike to Emerald Falls.
More release details soon, just working on photos for now.
Hope you have a great weekend, wherever you are! 🤍
The Moon is a soft baby blue, the Sun is a light creamy orange with a little shimmer, and both have a glossy finish that kinda looks like stained glass when the light hits. It’s hard to capture in photos, but I’m trying!
If you want to see how they came together, check out my Instagram☀️🌙 highlight.
I’ve been playing around with resin lately and decided to add some color to my Sun & Moon earrings!

Trying to capture that subtle, natural curve of a cherry stem has been the most satisfying part. Not sure if this is the “right” way to do it, but this is what’s working for me right now (thanks to my trusty pliers). Figuring it out as I go & enjoying the process. #handmadejewelry
Bending brass wire to make the stems for my cherry earrings. 🍒 It’s been a bit of a learning curve working with brass in this way & even the same gauge wire can feel different from piece to piece. It’s a bit of a challenge, but the challenge is part of the fun.
✨ GIVEAWAY TIME! ✨
I want to spread a little extra love this week, so I’m giving away a piece from my Whole Lotta Love collection. Your choice of a necklace or earrings!
