A little earring appreciation ✨
So, I always wondered why we had a Peony Festival in Indy and, unbeknownst to me, the peony is actually the Indiana state flower. Definitely a duh moment, but the more ya know lol. 😂
With that little discovery, I started making these cute Indiana peony acrylic dangles for my earrings. That eventually turned into these Indy heart earrings, which are actually a little nod to the logo of the beauty + lifestyle blog I ran with two of my really good friends, Terrian and Kristin (love yall 🫶🏽)
I really love these little earrings, but it’s always a little weird saying, “Yeah, I love Indiana and living here,” especially as a Black woman born and raised in Indiana. It’s a complicated relationship because Indiana doesn’t always love me back, but the family, friends and community I’ve built here have made this place irreplaceable.
I don’t know if I’ll always live in Indiana, but Indiana will always be home. 💛💙
