It is almost impossible not to love the jewelry from Freestone Handmade. The pieces are intricate and the colors are luxe. When I had the opportunity to work with Saige, I think I actually shrieked. My sister had turned me on to Saige’s jewelry and I wanted all of her creations before she reached out […]

I was just talking with my niece about procrastinating and working under pressure. I do best with timelines and lists and boxes I can check off. The past 2 years have been a pressure cooker for most people. I have been lucky and privileged in a lot of areas during the pandemic: my job went […]
