I took my beads on the road this weekend, and tagged along with my Dad to an American Institute of Architects Convention in Saratoga Springs, NY.

After four years of living in Savannah, I feel like I am experiencing fall for the first time. With every crunch of the leaves under my boots, and every beautiful, vibrant tree next to a distinguished old house, I remember of how much I truly love fall.

I had the opportunity to relocate my studio to a great cafe, Uncommon Grounds, in downtown Saratoga, and bead my heart out over a cup of coffee roasted in-house.

Later in the trip, I joined my Dad on a ghost tour. We have not been on a ghost tour since I first visited SCAD as a junior in high school. Savannah is one of the most haunted cities in the United States, and there is not one person I know that has not had an experience with a ghost. We also toured of a 150 year old Adelphi Hotel that is being completely redone.

Take a look at the renovations in the link below. A lot has changed since the article was written but it gives a nice over view.

It was a great weekend, take a peak at the beautiful fall foliage and stay tuned for new designs straight out of Saratoga!

As the school year is beginning for many, this is the first time that I am not going back to school. I am not in beautiful Savannah walking to class under the hauntingly elegant Spanish Moss. Instead I am impatiently waiting for the leaves to change and to see my first New York autumn in four years.

People say that after graduating from college it's a fresh start, a time where your whole life is ahead of you . After a summer of taking a break from creating art, I realized that I truly need to be constantly creating. Through this realization came the idea that it is time to start my own business. It is time to take that degree in Jewelry and make something out of it. So here it goes.

The past few weeks I have been designing logos, figuring out how to apply to craft shows, ordering business cards, and most of all making jewelry.

There it is my brand new logo! I couldn't be more excited about this new adventure. Stay tuned for the posting of my online shop and where you can purchase my work.
