I thought many of you would like to see where Natural Beauty Jewelry was born, so here are a few pictures of my work space.

All of my designs originate here at my desk in my loft. But don’t let the size of my work space fool you…there are many, many tiny things stuffed away in their own individual places. I keep an assortment of magazines, books and resources at hand in my bookshelf for inspiration and reference. 

 I have to admit that my desk is not always this clean. I never know when a wave of inspiration will take over, at which point tidiness is thrown out the window to make way for the completion of a new design.

 And of course, there is the home office where I often work as well. I work in here when I am doing a lot of web work, administrative tasks, and printing, etc. 

We’ll see how much longer I can be contained inside my current space. I hope to someday have a studio in which to display my work and welcome customers to stop by and say hello.

 
Natural Beauty Jewelry will be exhibiting at the 42nd annual Edina Art Fair in booth #143.  The art fair takes place outdoors along 50th and France Street in Edina. For more information and directions, visit www.edinaartfair.com.

Many of you may not know this about me…but I have a great passion for music having been surrounded by it over the years and while growing up. My family was one that often participated in choirs, orchestras, bands, and independent music lessons. I studied music throughout high school and into my college years and I believe that everyone should have at least a minimal amount of exposure to classical, orchestral and symphonic literature.

I was recently asked to donate some of my jewelry to the Saint Paul Civic Symphony’s annual silent auction/fund raiser. They are a local non-profit symphony that performs free concerts in the greater Saint Paul area. It is an organization that provides not only a venue for local musicians in which to perform, but an enriching musical experience for all ages of the community. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity to donate some of my jewelry to such a wonderful cause.

The Wine and Cheese Event will be held on March 8th, 2008 at the Landmark Center downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota. If you would like to purchase tickets or learn more about their endeavors, you can check out their website at www.saintpaulcivicsymphony.org.
