Hi! My name is Stephanie & I love glass & jewelry! I'm also very fond of doing my part to leave a light footprint, so I love to recycle.

I have been working with jewelry since 1992, and working with glass since 1994. I took as many classes as I could and developed my hobby in college. After college, I moved to England where I was able to take more classes & sell to small botiques. Then my mom passed away unexpectedly just before my 30th birthday. This changed everything. She absolutely loved the fact that I worked with glass & jewelry - but I lost my inspiration when I lost her. This led me to box up all of my tools up and put my art aside.

After going through a divorce soon after I lost my mom and my beloved grandparents, I decided to get everything back out & start this business as a way to grow and find my passion for life again.

My mom's memory has helped me to discover my talent & I strive to make her proud with each and every item that I list & every customer that I interact with. I know that she'd be proud!

I am inspired by English cottage gardens, swimming in the ocean, and antique treasures. My aim is to walk lightly on the Earth, honor the memories of those whom I have loved by staying creative, and have fun creating fabulous, eco friendly, and one of a kind pieces of art!

When I’m not in my studio, I compete on a master’s swim team, take yoga classes, mountain bike, and travel as much as possible. I am currently residing in Dayton, Ohio with the love of my life & our dog.
