Boys and Girls Club
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of speaking to the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottesville about owning my own jewelry business. The group of young and talented girls asked questions about pursuing dreams, thinking big, and overcoming obstacles. After the presentation, we made jewelry together & I had a great time watching these girls shine. I came home on Friday to find a package full of hand-written letters from the girls listening to the presentation. Each one had written a letter thanking me for believing in them and letting me know that they will never give up on their dreams. What an amazing group of girls!

Wedding Jewelry by Erin McDermott
Erin McDermott, of Charlottesville, Virginia is one of the new wave of jewelry designers who, because of the internet is able to reside in the artsy, creative community that inspires her and nevertheless maintain a vibrant national presence. In addition to her line of funky everyday wear her wedding jewelry is gaining broad attention. Why? Because she personally designs and crafts each piece, so no two are exactly alike. However each member of the wedding party wears a piece that is clearly related by color and design those pieces worn by the other members of the party. Moreover, the bride and the maid of honor are adorned with pieces that show a little extra flair, while perfectly harmonizing with the bridesmaids.
After the wedding Erin’s pieces are treasured because they can be worn, not only with cocktail dresses and formal wear, but with jeans and a tee shirt as well for a casual, yet sexy mix. Because she takes great care of packaging her orders in natural and attractive “green” materials each necklace or earring arrives as a welcome and tantalizing gift.

Charlottesville City Farmers’ Market
It must be an aroma of the nutty smell of freshly brewed coffee, hot donuts, and cinnamon buns or the scent of orchids, fresh herbs, and a rainbow of produce floating through the balmy morning heat…regardless, who could resist such sweetness? My Saturday mornings begin at 4:45 AM with a rather strong cup of coffee and an even stronger will to peel myself out of my warm covers. I arrive at the market, set up my jewelry booth, and I am immediately satisfied by the energy and passion from the farmers, bakers, and craftspeople. Throughout the morning, I’m greeted with sleepy, enthusiastic, and lovely customers strolling through the Charlottesville Market and enjoying their Saturday morning just as much a I am…
