RECONNECT WITH NATURE, AND CELEBRATE UNIQUENESS…..

It’s all about nature scenes captured in a miniature world of your jewelry. That helps to keep all positive vibes of nature close to your skin, to be reminded that Nature is all about stillness and harmony; breathe and enjoy every second. In this pendant, the mountain is the symbol of strength; at the same time, the flying birds represent our limitless soul and intelligence.

VirginRiverNaturals is a unique and wonderful shop. They were inspired to make a natural product line after many travels through the western United States. They fell in love with the idea of river waters carving canyons deep into the seemingly immovable earth. One of these rivers, the Virgin River, has carved out the landscape of southern Utah for millions of years, bringing shapes and colors to life. They wanted to share their glimpse of the unreal and incredibly spectacular red rock scenery created by the Virgin River. Simple, natural and beautiful. You can shop on Etsy over here

MustardSeedPromises is a candle company based on Long Island, NY, specializing in handmade and homemade soy wax candles! Maryse is a busy (and sometimes overwhelmed) wife of an amazing husband and two toddler boys! After losing her job back in December of 2017, she found myself at home with her beautiful (and energetic) eight-month old son, and the demands of motherhood and wifehood began to take a toll on her mental wellbeing. Maryse started to lose her confidence and the small faith she had worked so hard to build up to that point.  She began making candles as a way to help her cope with her anxiety.

Soul2SoulCA The shop owner has had her fair share of struggles through life and continues to have.  She is pretty confident to say that all of you have as well.  She has gone down many different paths to find relief but didn’t until she learned to look within herself.  Most importantly,  mantra meditation and surrounding myself with people that bring her comfort and strength is what keeps her going.  Therefore, she started Soul2SoulCA where I use high quality Semiprecious stones to handcraft Malas, Bracelets and dog collars. These gemstones embody healing properties depending on what you, your loved one or your pet may need at this point in life. She considers handcrafting my work a form of therapy to help herself and hopefully others. She can’t take away everyone’s pain.  However, she sure can add a bit of hope to your journey.
