Me

I've lived for many years in Asheville, North Carolina and loved living in the mountains. I raised my children there and was involved with my community through service work and my work with the American Red Cross (Disaster Services). I made a move to Franklin, North Carolina (a beautiful town) for a couple of years and now live near Greensboro, NC....big town w/lots of traffic! Miss those mountains...how do I get back?

My jewlery designs are inspired by those mountains.
