Can’t wait until next weekend!
Artisan reveal #2!
On Thanksgiving Eve I always reflect on my days spent serving at Oliver’s Tavern in Essex, CT. The bar was always packed shoulder to shoulder with friends reunited from a semester at college and it’s where I first met the lovely and talented Tracy McMahon of We’ve been inseparable ever since!
Be sure to swing by the studio to see (and buy) her gorgeous creations. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!

Tracy’s amazing story is below:
My story begins in a small town in CT. As a child I loved exploring the outdoors. You could find me digging in the dirt, collecting rocks and "fossils" in my backyard. When we hit the beach, I'd stroll along trolling for beach glass, shells, and weathered rocks. To my mother's dismay, I kept my discoveries in my room, on shelves, on the window sills, in various vases swiped from cabinets... I was hooked!
As I got older I frequented rock shops, making some fabulous natural stone purchases including an amazing rose quartz and raw amethyst that I still have today, and brought home stones found on hikes or on trips to other parts of the country.
Fast forward years later....
After college I moved to Boston, MA. On a whim a few friends and I took a simple beaded earring class at a local bead shop. That was all it took for me to rediscover my love for stones and start this little jewelry business using gorgeous goodies to adorn others, not just my bedroom.
I now live in Seekonk, MA equidistant between my hometown in CT and my favorite city. The influences from both rural and urban environments - with a dash of the RI shoreline thrown in for good measure - helps keep my looks fresh, modern, but still classic.
