Introduction I live in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of Ashe County. Crafting of some kind has always been a big part of my entire family. My father loved his woodworking, Mom, my 3 older sisters and I have numerous talents with crafts such as knitting, quilting, sewing, and so much more. I am very fortunate to grow up with so many talents right in my own home. Being the youngest, I was able to experience each one. I have always loved looking for pretty rocks and glass that were broken down by the tumbling of the waters in the new river and creeks near our home. As a child, you could always find me in the creek behind my Grandparent's house searching for what I called "treasures". Really only "fool's gold" and anything shiny. Our vacation trips to the beach every year were no different. As mom and dad fished on the shore and my sisters sunbathed, I sat near them finding beautiful rocks, sea glass, sharks teeth and unique shells. I always kept a box of stones and special pieces that I had found. That was my very special treasure box. I turned my love for collecting beautiful pieces of nature and art into making unique pieces of jewelry.
