Saturday Mornings In Christiansted, St. Croix

February 20, 2021 2 Comments

Saturday Mornings In Christiansted, St. Croix

Mornings on St. Croix look like beautiful pastel sunrises, sometimes with fiery highlights, and they sound like gentle ocean waves and birds greeting the new day. I love getting into Christiansted early on Saturday mornings and taking in the sleepy vibe of our historic downtown streets. Danish arches cast shadows on cobblestone sidewalks and nature creeps through cracks in old staircases and around old structures.

Early mornings feel just as exciting as a new year to me. Fresh starts, new beginnings, and all the potential of a brand new day! I am a morning person, there is just something I love about being awake when the world feels quiet and still. These days, I am up before the sun, and I get to experience the transition of dark to light each day.

Christiansted is a historic district, and the buildings reflect this. Many are old, some refurbished while keeping the authentic feeling of the town and the design of Danish architecture. The cobblestone streets are beautifully irregular and have their own charm.

The artist in me sees the beauty in all of this rustic history. I love to think of the many different generations of people who have lived, worked and visited our lovely island and quaint downtown area.

St. Croix really has an energy all its own. Maybe you’ve heard it referred to as the “Don’t hurry”, as island time is definitely a thing here. The island has its own vibe, its own beat and things work just fine that way. It’s a great place to slow down for a week or two. It's a great place to slow down, period!

Historic buildings and wild nature

Starting the day off with calm, peace and serenity (and a walk around our lovely, historic town) is always a good thing! Saturday - or any day really - is a great day to visit and stroll around historic, downtown Christiansted.  Thanks for joining me for a Saturday morning in Christiansted!

I so want to come see. I want to wear flip flops and shorts and never deal with snow and cold again!

Bringing Art and Beauty Into the World
Bringing Art and Beauty Into the World

March 14, 2022

I believe it is our mission and calling as artists to bring more beauty into the world. Art in all its forms, and in everything we do. Creativity isn’t limited to only the tangible, physical forms of art, it also runs through everything in our lives. How we interact with the world is an art form, and that is the best way any of us can bring beauty into the world on a daily basis.

Self Love is Here to Stay
Self Love is Here to Stay

February 05, 2022

Jewelry ties us to moments, to memories. Realizing that I created the first self love ring 5 years ago brings back all sorts of memories for me. I made the ring for myself after I had just ended a long relationship and wanted something to replace my engagement ring on my left ring finger. I wasn’t ready to open my heart again at that time, so this ring served as a promise ring to myself, a promise to take time to put myself first and focus on self love.

When You Buy From a Small Business an Actual Person Does a Little Happy Dance

"When you buy from a small business, an actual person does a little happy dance!"

Small Business Saturday gives me the opportunity to look back on the year, and this has been a big year for my business! Moving into a new, larger space and expanding my offerings from jewelry to art has been a wonderful evolution. I can't wait to see what the next year has in store!
