Ahead of this week’s drop, I wanted to give back to my community in a meaningful way. I’ve officially donated enough to sponsor 5 bouquets for The Petal Parcel’s Su***de Awareness initiative and hope you’ll join me in helping her hit her goal of 75 bouquets donated 🩷

Each life is precious and no one deserves to have the thought that this world would be better off without them in it.

I’ve worked with and donated to To Write Love On Her Arms. every year for the past several years in business. Resources for those struggling emotionally or mentally exist. Help is out there and seeking that help doesn’t make you anything other than intensely brave.

If you or someone you know is struggling and needs immediate help, dial 988 to speak with a Lifeline counselor at any time.

Never forget, the world is a better place with you in it. Even on the hard days 💛

LAST CALL!!!🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶 we will not be accepting anymore sponsorships after today!! ✨✨✨ MONDAY

Sundays are usually a “day of rest” for most… unless you own a small business, then those are few and far between 😅🥴

But I do love the freedom of being able to assemble earrings while sitting on my comfy couch, watching a movie. That’ll never get old 🥰

My Fall drop is coming this Thursday at 8p et! Is your alarm set? 🫣

Not exactly clay related content, but kind of. Hang in there for story time! 😅

Friday morning, my husband left the house pretty early. The sun wasn’t completely up yet but he texted me (sound asleep with our dogs upstairs), to let me know he thought it was a groundhog hole, and to be careful letting the dogs out. So, he put a raised mesh dog bed over top of it just in case.

I get up and around, see that text, and decide to go investigate. I lift back the dog bed and immediately yell a string of expletives, because unless it was a 300lb groundhog with chisels for paws, there was no way this is a groundhog hole.

I then did what any woman does when something goes wrong with her house… I called my Daddy 🤓 He told me not to touch anything until we could get the Borough out to look at it.

On Saturday, my husband who listens about as well as a damn toddler, decided to go play in the hole. He opened more of it up, which is what you’re seeing in the third photo. You can also see there’s a pipe in there, which made me even more concerned than I already was.

Fast forward to this morning at promptly 8:30AM when the borough office opened, I called in a panic asking someone to please come look. Thankfully, they had someone here within 10 minutes.

That last photo is a 6’ man STANDING INSIDE the hole. I told his buddy he was either really brave… or really stupid 😂

To summarize, they think it was an old well that has obviously collapsed. The problem now is that the hole is currently about 3’ in diameter at the opening. However, that’s because some of the ground hasn’t caved yet. The hole should actually be about 6’ in diameter and is about 8-10’ deep.

No one seems to know what the pipe is, but I was assured it isn’t gas or it would be marked. They did warn me it could be sewer and to be very careful when filling the hole back in, because if that breaks, we’re gonna immediately know 💩🤢

All THAT to say, we’re now going to have an impromptu drop next Thursday at 8p et to help me pay for the spontaneous opening to hell we now have in our backyard 🫠

It’s moments like these I’m thankful to be a small business owner who can be in charge of making a little extra money when things like this happen to help offset the blow.

Home ownership is the biggest sinking ship we all hop aboard. Am I right or am I right? 😩

Stay tuned to find out whatever it is I end up making, cause at this point, I don’t even know 😂

Every year, I tell myself, "I'm going to do a back to school collection this year!"

And then Summer rolls around and my prioritization gets thrown out the window, forgetting all about it entirely 🙃

Not this year! 😁

My Back to School collection is dropping Thursday, August 20 at 8p et, featuring some super cute designs AND custom charms.

Perfect for teachers of all kinds, whether it's you or your child's teacher that has to put up with the world's tiny demons all day long 👹🤣

One of my ALL TIME favorite things to do is creating custom pieces to match a specific outfit 💅🏼😏

So, that's how I treated this collection. I made what I'd wear with a fraction of all the new, incredible pieces being debuted this weekend at Jordanna Adams!

I meannnn... did I do good or did I do GOOD?! 😂

You don't need to tell me. I know I did 💅🏼😏 but I DO hope you come see me and treat yourself to a new outfit (or two, I'm not a tattle tale), with the cutest accessories to match 🥰

JORDANNA ADAMS Turns 9! Saturday 9a-5p!
