My Former Side Gig

Bibelots is a jewelry line I designed many years ago. After being featured in several local, regional and national outlets, including on HGTV’s “That’s Clever!” program and traveling around the country selling my wares at juried art shows, I decided to take a much needed break.

Coincidentally, while taking a hiatus from designing jewelry, I discovered the joys of crocheting which segued into learning how to spin my own yarn, felting and knitting. I even spent a little time learning how to build model cars! Did I mention I love sewing and reading, too?

Now, my focus is on creating organic hair products, and one-of-a-kind accessories specifically for natural- haired folks. Initially, I am concentrating on shampoo, conditioner and a hair oil that promises to be miraculous!

While I miss making jewelry and intend to resume my first love in early 2012, I’m not sure I’ll be doing the art circuit. I think I’d rather focus on selling my wares in boutiques and on Etsy.
