Heart and Sol Designs

It was a beautiful day at the Alta Arts Fair today. Looking forward to be back on October 17, 2026. So many great artists and wonderful conversations with neighbors. Put it in your calendar now. You don’t want to miss it ❤️

Hand stamped Altadena bracelets ready for the Alta Arts Fair tomorrow, June 6th at the Fraternal Order of Eagles on Woodbury. We’ll be there from 11-5. Come by and say hi ❤️

You know my heart and soul are with stamping metal but truly my heart loves all kinds of artistic mediums. My first iteration in business, way back in the 90’s, was with found items and recycled items well before it was in vogue. In 2024, I fell in love with working with resin. I didn’t think I would pick it up again but found myself drawn to it unexpectedly again. So, here we are. My pieces will all be slightly different. No two will be exactly the same. You can see them in person at the fair on June 6th at the Fraternal order of Eagles. Looking forward to seeing you all there ❤️

Two weeks ago I posted a photo of this pewter dish I was working on. A lot of you said “let me know when it is ready.”

The Altadena Poppy Trinket Dish is now live. Each one is hand stamped by me. No two alike. Kind of like all of us.

What an incredible day! Honored that Meta invited me and my small business to the TGAIFriday Lunch, part of the kickoff for the White House Correspondents’ weekend at the beautiful Waldorf Astoria. The conversation was all about AI and how it’s empowering small businesses like mine. Still buzzing from the energy in that room. And yes, Oz Pearlman was there!!!

More highlights from today coming soon ❤️

Advocacy Day begins. Breakfast (should have gotten a pic of breakfast!!) and panel speakers. Great round table with other amazing small businesses. I’m off to speak to a staffer in office to discuss small business and Altadena fire recovery. Later today will meet with a group of California small businesses and office. In the middle, lunch and Meta programming at the Capitol Visitor Center.

Will be heading to DC for a Meta event this week and some time talking to our representatives regarding small business advocacy and fire recovery. Go celebrate with on Saturday, 4/25. If you don’t already, follow me and I will post pictures and such about DC and then the following week updates regarding my website ❤️
