Googled my symptoms and it turns out what I need is a cute outfit and to shop small 🥹
Spent the morning in Seattle and finally made it to the Chihuly museum!
Booked my first market in Seattle today 😭 I am SO EXCITED and ready to get back into doing weekly markets!
Forehead kisses to all you lovelies out there supporting small businesses 😘
Not to overstate it, but this is the single most popular necklace I’ve ever made and it is FINALLY back in stock…dropping this week! Stay tuned ❤️ Email list gets first dibs, so make sure you’re on it!
Today’s energy is brought to you by all the times people called this a “hobby,” instead of a business 🔥
Gift idea for your bestie: matching forbidden candy necklaces from Jasper & Elm🫶🏼
I sold out of one forbidden candy style this morning - “Starburst” - and now am down to just TWO of the “Malibu Sunset” colorway!
One of my personal goals for this year is to make art and practice creativity in things that are NOT jewelry or made with the purpose of selling them.
Last night, I made a no sew fleece blanket for a gift. Extremely fun, will be a lovely gift, and it felt good to do!
I had a fellow maker / customer tag me in her stories today — I received almost 20 new followers and made two sales that I’m ✨pretty darn sure✨ are a direct result of that story.
Word of mouth is vital to small businesses! Thank you for the shoutouts!
Just received approval to sell at a shop in Seattle 😭 I am SO excited!
I love a good Sunday reset ✨ We cleaned the bathrooms, scrubbed the kitchen, and now even the floors are gleaming! I’m the type of person who needs a clean & relatively tidy home space, so marking the start of a new week with a good house cleaning helps me set the intention of the week.
I’ve had an on again, off again relationship with Etsy since I made my own website three years ago BUT I just reopened my shop over there 🫡

People shop small with J&E because they care about supporting small businesses AND they love the jewelry. It’s a win for everyone — you support a woman/milspouse/mom-owned business and you get some dope accessories 😘
I sometimes have to remind myself that it’s ok to enjoy the act of creating art during 🔥terrible times🔥
Art is what has sustained humanity through upheaval for all of time. It would be a shame to allow that joy to be sucked out of my world.
The sunshine in the PNW may play hard to get during the winter, but it really showed up for the latest drop photo shoot ☀️😘🥹
On days when I’m feeling down about my business, I remember how many pieces I’ve made are currently beloved parts of people’s jewelry collections 🥹
Today we took the morning off unpacking and putting things away to explore a local town and WOW.
This place has breathed fresh creative energy into me…I can’t wait to get my studio organized to start working again!
I love this!!!
Savoring extra time with family and friends while I’m disconnected from my biz in many ways, and also appreciating this life I get to lead!
This move is reeeeaaaallllyyyy challenging me — no laptop to do work or planning, no supplies to make new items, toddler has the flu, I had a health scare the week we were packed up…WOOOOF.
I’ve never really been a sports romance reader…and then I picked up a baseball romance.
I’m sold⚾️
Progress, not perfection*
*she says, still aiming for perfection
I love building community, would people be interested in fun basic jewelry-making workshops?! BYOB, I can provide supplies mailed out ahead of time, and we chat and make some pretty jewelry in a supportive environment for a low ticket price!
Let me know if this is intriguing!
For a few years, I was pretty good at making memes and dropping them on the feed regularly. Will be doing more of this in 2025!
How do I (very messily) display my jewelry as a maker of sparkly things? Like this!
Life update: still moving across the country, still not a business run by a billionaire, still committed to donating to causes I care about with profits from my next launch 🫶🏼
