Good morning friends!
I uploaded so many new items to my store last night. I have been experimenting with expanding the store and when I found these vintage cabochons, I knew exactly what I wanted to create and I could not be happier with the results. But the best part? Everything is under $20.00! Check it out…
What do you think of the new additions to Hello, I Love You?

Good morning! Today is actually my birthday, so I am a little extra happy. 🙂
I have lots of fun things planned with the Reg and my family (most of which involve food!). But before I go, I wanted to give you a preview of some of the new pieces that I am adding to my etsy store next week…
Hair Accessories featuring vintage beads and colorful flowers on antique bronze hair pins.
Dainty post earrings featuring more of those beautiful vintage beads. These are really tiny (a little smaller than a dime) and made with Sterling Silver.
Both the lockets and the cabochons shown here are vintage and are going to look perfect on a long, thin gold chain.
I am thrilled with how they look. Truly, I would love to wear each piece.
Okay now it is off to celebrate turning the big 2-6. Maybe I will bring this back?

Hello friends! How is your week going? Mine is going great and I have to say, this positivity is probably due to my new exhibition that opened on papernstitch! Have you heard of this amazing site? If not, here are some more details…
papernstitch is an online exhibition space that was created to promote talented artists, designers, and makers selling handmade goods. the exhibition space is curated monthly and showcases the best of the best on an international level. hence our tagline: hand-picked. handmade (Source)
Needless to say, I am really honored and excited about participating. I admire the work of the others on the site and I am thrilled about the opportunity to share my jewelry with more people. The exhibition went “live” yesterday but here is a little preview of what was added to my store ! 🙂

So, recently I left my full-time job with an amazing company. I have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience at lululemon but it was simply time for me to move on focus on my jewelry and my family. I learned so much about the life I wanted to live and they gave me the tools to live that life every day, albeit away from the company but not without their blessing. How cool is that?!
Anyway, today was my first full day away from my old job and it felt odd but mostly exciting. I feel a certain freedom to pursue my goals but also miss the people I work with immensely already. To celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in my life, today was filled with some fun activities…
-Traveling to the Jewelry District to pick up some jewelry making supplies for a class I am taking at UCLA
-Target run to get some essentials (I heart Target a lot)
-Photographed some new jewels for my etsy store
Made (& devoured) an amazing spinach, bacon, goat cheese salad with balsamic fig dressing
and LOST is on tonight!
I have to go to bed early tonight too–I teach a 6:15 AM barre physique class!
Good night friends!

I recently opened a shop on etsy after dreaming about it for a long time. I have always had an interest in jewelry making, helping my aunt design the earrings for my jewelry. For earring and wedding pictures, click here. Best. day. ever.
A little background story on how I got here. I went to college in Fort Collins, Colorado (Go Rams!) where I met Reggie (my husband). I loved every minute of my time there and met my best friends there. I studied Speech Communication and quickly discovered that I wanted to continue my education and work towards a Master’s degree in Communication. However, after receiving my Master’s degree and teaching for 3 years, I made the decision that teaching was not something I wanted to do at that point. I wanted to experience something else.  Reggie and I were married the following May and I took some time to think about what I really wanted for a career. At this point, I felt pretty defeated because I had worked so hard in my competitive Master’s program and did well but something was just missing.
I started working retail for a yoga apparel company that I respected and felt like a place I could grow and have the space to explore my passions. They inspired me to set goals and that I did. Be careful what you wish for. I wanted to learn how to make jewelry because I had so many design ideas floating in my head. So after lots of reading and online education (ahem, YouTube), I taught myself how to put things together. I am also enrolled in a class at UCLA for Handmade Jewelry so I can continue to refine my skills. I love making jewelry. It is truly my passion. Hello, I Love You is a jewelry line that meshes my two loves (other than the Hubs)–yoga and music. Each piece is named after a song but also inspired by my yoga practice. Okay enough talking. Here are some of my first pieces that are for sale. What do you think?
