this started with my phone case...

Hello Reader, I’m gonna be honest… the inspo behind my latest earring collection is pretty boring. I wanted to try some cane work (think slice-and-bake cookies, but with clay), and the pattern on my phone case had all these gorgeous flowers in my favorite colors. Easy. But then something happened. As I started building the pattern and watching it come together (inspired by the phone case, but definitely with a personality of its own), it started giving… early 1800s novel energy. Flower gardens. Long strolls. Parasols. The softest colors. Those scenes where everyone is wandering around in beautiful dresses and somehow everything feels romantic and a little dramatic. And now I can’t unsee it. These earrings feel like a way to take the garden with you. To brunch, picnics, high tea (low tea? is that a thing?), the art museum, or yes… to pick up another copy of Pride and Prejudice because this one has a prettier cover and obviously that matters. So if you’ve ever imagined yourself in a Jane Austen novel or a scene from Bridgerton, this collection is for you. There are minimalist studs, modern shapes with regency vibes, and even teapots for anyone who enjoys drinking… or spilling the tea. ✨ The Periwinkle Garden collection arrives Friday 4/24 at 8pm CST in my Etsy shop ✨ I’ve been sharing all the details over on Instagram, if you want to wander through the collection a bit early. I can’t wait to share this one with you 💛 Jen |

Hi Reader,, The holiday weekend BBQs are over and I'm launching into the final lap of "Maycember" but what I'm really ready for is to release the endless scheduling and spirit weeks and special days, close out the school year, and settle into summer break. For me that will involve plenty of logistics (packing for vacations, camp schedules, feeding endless meals and snacks to the small humans in my house) but also *hopefully* a looser schedule, beach & pool days, family craft time, and lots...
this email contains affiliate links Hi Reader,, I keep going back and forth on which is a better format for you: this one, where I share something from each category (craft, dance, read, repeat) OR shorter more focused emails about one thing. If you've got an opinion, hit reply and let me know. For now, please enjoy my crafty mishaps, thoughts on hate-reading, and a new recipe I tried!

Ok Reader, here's the truth: I don’t really like (or know much about) basketball. But every year around this time I somehow get swept up in the brackets, the predictions, the trash talk, the drama. Even though I couldn’t tell you a single stat, I absolutely love the format of it all. And this year, as I was staring at a whole table full of earrings I’ve made and realizing I really need to start sharing more of my work, a thought popped into my head: Oooo… you know what would be fun?A bracket...
