After 4+ years of not participating in pop ups I am coming out of “retirement” for one very special fundraiser event! Two weeks from today I will be popping up with Purple Arts, benefiting pancreatic cancer research center. 25% of all my sales will go directly to this organization.

Late last year a dear family friend began his battle with Pancreatic Cancer and is fighting hard. When I was asked to participate, I could hardly say No.

If you are in the area and want a fun night out that gives back please save the date!

Butterflies have been stuck in my mind now for the past year and I’m finally getting what has been in my head into jewelry form.

I find it interesting and beautiful that something that has come to symbolize rebirth, hope, and endurance has been all I can think about creating. My personal life for the while now has felt flipped turned upside down (Any Fresh Prince fans out there? 🙃) and this just feels like the right time to release some hope and beauty into the world.

These along with two other styles are now available on my website! My collection is not complete and I will continue to grow it as I can. 🦋

Caffeinated and cozy in the studio this chilly day!

New work coming very soon!

You may have seen a peek in stories the other day, but I am so excited about this new collection! 🦋

My elbow is about 95% healed to normal and I’m so excited to build CB back from the roots up!

Hey 👋
I wanted to pop on here and let you know I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth! But long story short I have had to face one of my worst nightmares as a maker. I pretty severely injured my right elbow at the busiest time of year, leaving me without stock for the holidays.

Truthfully without my husband’s support this would be the end of CB entirely. But he has pulled the financial weight around here, keeping me positive and focused on healing.
All that to say, I’m still not back 100% yet but am getting there. I plan on putting together a new product launch and sale in January so keep an eye out for that!
Enjoy your loved ones this season and remember to shop small, these shops are depending on you to help keep them around!
Here are a few that have some of my work if you need that CB fix 😉

We stopped in to this morning on our way to the mountains for the day.
Have you been to their new location? Super fun atmosphere and the coffee is 🤌
(And yes,I know I need to get some more pieces in! 🙈)

These beauties are all heading up to in Boone!

I make each and every one of them entirely by hand with lots of care ✨
