Home is Where the Heart Is

The theme for my state charms and map necklaces is that home can be a lot of places -- your own backyard, the house where you grow up, the city where your partner or best friend or sister lives, a place where you've always wanted to settle down. So following that thought, I don't know why it took me so long to throw together necklaces that represent that...

I Love California Heart & State Charm Necklace, $20 in my Etsy shop

...but, here they are.

I only have California listed right now, because I actually made this necklace on a whim for a friend in San Francisco and sent it to her this morning. But with the ever-looming Valentine's Day, it's nice to remember that you can show, and give, your love in a lot of different ways.

Visit my Etsy shop to order!

Custom colors are available for both the heart and the state charm, and MANY states are available, just not listed yet. If you really really really want one that you don't see listed, just send me a message, and I'm sure I can make it for you through a custom order (same price).

Open in December

I'm making it my goal this December to try to open my studio every day, at least for a little while, leading up to Xmas. I'll post my hours daily on Twitter and Facebook, so follow me on there if you're interested in dropping by!

I'm also always happy to take appointments, so if there's something you want to see in person, or if you want to set up a custom order, you can contact me by email at

I'm always busy on Etsy around this time of the year, but I know it's nice to see and hold something before you buy it, too... and you'll save on shipping costs, which is always helpful.
