My grandmother had a love for jewelry. She had drawers and closets and boxes full! When I was little, I always wanted to "play" with her jewelry. I was in awe of all the colors and shapes. Of course, I was always given the less expensive pieces to play with in case they ended up falling down the drain never to be seen again! She also had a knack for fixing jewelry. She would fix broken clasps and she had the ability to unknot tangled up chains in no time at all. She showed me how to close a jump ring when I was about 10 years old. She used two pairs of scissors to do this, but I have since learned that there are specific tools to accomplish this task that are a little less dangerous!

When I opened my Etsy shop, I sold exclusively jewelry, but I have branched out and now I am making mostly bridal and formal hair accessories. I would love to be able to help make your wedding or formal occasion even more special, so hopefully you will find something in my shop that appeals to you. I am happy to create custom pieces as well as create pieces for the entire bridal party. Please see the Policies section of my shop for more information and turnaround times for custom orders such as this: http://www.etsy.com/shop/DesignsByDeb18/policy?ref=shopinfo_policies_leftnav.

When I'm not creating new pieces, I enjoy spending time at my vacation home in tiny town in northern New Hampshire. It is a log home with beautiful views of the mountains of Canada. It is a great place to go just to enjoy the peace and quiet and watch the wildlife.

I’m married. No kids, but I have three little black, highly energetic dogs (Schipperkes...see pictures of my "staff" at right) who keep me busy. And whether my husband knows it or not, he is a very big part of this business. He is the one who brings all my packages to the post office to be mailed and of course, he is the one who keeps the doggies entertained while Mama is making her creations :-)

My pieces are reasonably priced so you can add a little sparkle without spending a lot of money. I am always happy to do custom pieces, so if there is something that you would like, please contact me and I will create something special just for you. Thank you for your interest. I hope you enjoy my shop and that you find something that appeals to you ♥
