I started making jewellery over 12 years ago. In that time, I've sold online, in stores, at shows, and currently every Saturday morning at a farmers market in Southern Ontario, to customers of all ages with very different tastes and price points. I also do repairs, which means I sometimes have to get really creative. I sell turquoise, semi-precious stones, handmade fair trade beads, skulls, fetishes and now a large selection of chakra/healing beads, all of which you can find in my booth at the Gem Expo. Drop by and say hi!
