As summer comes to an end and the beginning of new school year I find my self doing what I love . My love for designing jewelry goes way back to the days of my childhood when playing in my mothers jewelry box fascinated me . My mother always had beautiful jewelry made and given to her by my Grandfather . It was so sparkly and attracted my curious eyes . I learned at a young age about my talented Grandfather whose passion for jewelry design was his business . Although I never met my grandfather I do feel we share the same passion in design . I feel him in my heart guiding me along every step I make on my journey .
Summer brought on new opportunities as I was being laid off from my other passion as an early childhood educator . The first day of summer was spent looking for a new job at a new school . I put my time in daily and interviewed weekly . In order to keep my mind busy and positive I turned to my hobby , which then just kept me creating . While looking for work in this large internet world we find at our finger tips , I found my self networking in between emailing my resume . I created a blog added a facebook page and began tweeting and posting pictures everywhere . I had my first party " A girls night out in the Afternoon " this was the kick off to a new beginning teaching others how to create a beautiful piece of their own . A fun afternoon for everyone . I sold out on my Hamsah , created new designs and everyone that came had not only learned something they laughed a little , ate a little , drank a little and shopped a little as well . I owe credit to the beautiful Micaela who is an awesome mentor , friend , and just keeps inspiring me .
I am still looking for part time work but have began creating my business which is also my passion into full time work . I thank the people that laid me off and I have no regrets for if I never got laid off I would not have found the opportunity to create doing what I love and calling it work . I am grateful for all my beautiful friends old and new and to all who have inspired me along my journey I am blessed by the those who found something and continue to find something they have to have . So happy to have new clients waiting for me to design my magic . I love the positive feed back and the constant encouragement thank you to all .
As always Cheers Tilly
