A company that was organically born when one girl
set out on a mission (with her cat) to find herself
again. All of her creations are made by hand and
with so much love that it translates into the beauty
and uniqueness of each piece, she incorporates a
piece of earth into each design. Stubborn by nature,
she refuses to replicate anything, preferring to let
each creation take it's shape as it pleases.
