Now Available! The Broken China Jewelry Book ~ Get Yours Today!

New release!

The Broken China Jewelry Book!

I am super-happy to announce that my fourth jewelry-making book, The Broken China Jewelry Book, is now available for purchase on Amazon!

This book has been a true labor of love! It's taken me a long time write and finish (over a year, and a bit longer than I expected, but that's just how things go sometimes!), and I am so pleased to be able to offer it to you now. Find it here on Amazon.

Just in time for the holidays, why not get one for a friend too?

Now available! Get your copy today!

I hope you love it!

Cozy Autumn Boho Porches

Autumn is the perfect season to transform your porch into a cozy boho retreat. Here are key elements to achieve that inviting vibe:

1. Warm Textiles

Layer up with soft blankets, oversized pillows, and textured rugs. Look for earthy tones and patterns that evoke a relaxed, bohemian feel.

2. Natural Elements

Incorporate seasonal foliage like pumpkins, gourds, and colorful leaves. Use woven baskets to display these natural elements, adding warmth and texture.

3. String Lights

Add twinkling string lights to create a magical ambiance in the evenings. Hang them along railings or drape them across the ceiling.

4. Eclectic Decor

Mix and match decor items like vintage lanterns, macramé hangers, and terracotta pots. This eclectic touch enhances the boho aesthetic.

5. Comfortable Seating

Choose comfortable seating options like a hammock chair or oversized poufs. Create a space that invites you to relax with a good book.

6. Aromatic Candles

Use candles with autumn scents like cinnamon or pumpkin spice. They not only provide warmth but also add to the cozy atmosphere.

7. Layered Lighting

Incorporate various light sources, such as table lamps or floor lamps, to create a cozy glow as daylight fades.

8. Personal Touches

Include items that reflect your personality, like framed photos, handmade crafts, or travel souvenirs. This adds a unique charm to your space.

Final Touch

Embrace the season by sipping hot cider or herbal tea on your boho autumn porch! It’s all about creating a welcoming space that feels like home. Happy Fall!
