🌿 We’re back at Art Spectacular! 🌿

Two years running, and I’m loving this beautiful event more every year! 💚

I’m spending the weekend surrounded by art, flowers, gardens, and some of my favorite little pieces of nature—preserved and ready to be worn. ✨

📍 Thomas Rees Carillon & Washington Park Botanical Garden
📍 Springfield, IL
🌿 Booth #11
🗓️ Saturday 10–5
🗓️ Sunday 10–4

And because it’s September… our Flower of the Month is the Forget-Me-Not. 💙

These tiny blooms carry such a beautiful reminder: *remember the moments, remember the people, remember the places that matter.*

I’ll have Forget-Me-Not pieces with me at the show, and they’ll be making their way to the website soon! 🌱✨

If you’re at Art Spectacular this weekend, come find me at Booth #11 and say hello!

Wear the Wild. Carry the moment. 🌿

Found the last hydrangea of the year.
It’s extremely bittersweet.
•
Summer is one of my favorite seasons, but I equally love fall. Cooler days, changing colors, pumpkin spice and everything nice.
•
Seeing one little bloom hanging on is exciting and inspiring.
What does it inspire in you??
•

Something new is taking root… 🌿✨
•
•
I’ve been quietly working on something I’ve wanted to create for a long time—a Flower Preservation Guide to help you turn fleeting blooms into something you can keep, create with, and treasure!
•
And this little reel? Just a *tiny* peek. 👀🌸
•
There’s so much more coming—including tips, tricks, checklists, flower tracking pages, and even a DIY flower press!
•
I can’t wait to share it with you. 💚
•
Coming soon from Nature’s HandyWork.
Because beautiful things don’t have to disappear when the flowers fade. 🌼

Apparently, I’ve found my new favorite place to disappear for a few days. 😍🌿
•
Southern Illinois + western Arkansas… y’all have my heart. ❤️
•
Give me winding roads, little towns, beautiful trails, towering trees, hidden gems, good food, great w**e and absolutely no idea what’s around the next corner — and I’m a happy girl. 😂
•
I went into this trip thinking it would be a fun getaway… and came home wondering when I can go back ♥️
•
Officially declaring this my favorite vacation destination south of I-80. 😂🙌
•
Sometimes you don’t have to go far to feel like you’ve gone somewhere completely different. You just have to take the scenic route. 🌲🥾✨
•
Here’s to finding new favorite places, getting a little lost, and collecting memories along the way. 💚
•

Obviously, ginkgo leaves do NOT come in the tiny size I need. 😑🤦‍♀️
•
So… I cut them out myself. 😂🍃
•
Yep, every one of these little ginkgo pieces starts as an actual ginkgo leaf, and I gently cut out the shape so I can turn it into jewelry or a bookmark.
•
Also, I zoomed this video WAY out because apparently you actually need to see what my hands are doing. 😂
•
Just another day of turning tiny pieces of the wild into wearable art. 💚
•

08/22/2026

Find me at Lake Ellyn Park this weekend only!
•
The weather has been rough lately, but I feel like Mother Nature is making up for it ♥️ soooooo nice out!
Cool breeze, sunshine and blue skies.
•
Find me at Booth #62 from 10-5 today & tomorrow!

08/14/2026

Before…. After!
•
Come out to see the living museum and enjoy the W**e & Art Walk of The Morton Arboretum this weekend!

🍃✨ GINKGO SEASON IS HERE! ✨🍃

I’ve been having way too much fun turning one of my favorite leaves into wearable pieces—and this weekend, the ginkgo is getting its moment to shine! 💚

I’ll be at the Morton Arboretum this weekend with a whole collection of ginkgo leaf necklaces + earrings, inspired by one of nature’s most recognizable and beautifully quirky leaves. 🌿

And if you’ve been following along, you may have already gotten a little sneak peek… 👀

I recently shared my love for ginkgo in my email newsletter, including some of the fascinating things I’ve learned about this incredible tree. If you want the behind-the-scenes stories, first looks at new pieces, upcoming markets, and little bits of nature that inspire my work, come join my email list! 💌

👉 Sign up through the link in my bio!

Then come see the ginkgo pieces in person this weekend at the Morton Arboretum. 🍃

Who else is completely obsessed with ginkgo leaves?! 🙋‍♀️
