We discovered Craftspring ornaments about 10 years ago, and now our trees are adorned with them. Not only are they unbreakable to the kids and pets in the house, they are completely charming.

2009!
I received a fellowship to study small-entrepreneurs in Western China and Central Asia. I traveled, conducted research, and met many incredibly talented women artisans across 5 countries. This experience made clear to me that I wanted to create economic opportunities and a supportive environment for women artisans to grow their businesses.
I love the connection our clients have with our products. We have become part of so many gifting traditions. This feels so special, and is something I take really seriously. I want our products to delight and spark joy, and help our customers give the best gifts.
All of our products are made using natural and sustainable materials, and we are also transitioning company-wide to use only recyclable, compostable, biodegradable, or zero waste materials in all of our packaging. We give 1% of our sales to organizations that help to preserve and protect the environment, and are also becoming a carbon-neutral company.
I just started to train three mornings a week, and it’s been wonderful.
I wish I had asked for help and support more often!
Love yourself more. Be good to yourself.

Haven’t really watched TV in a while, but a dear friend of mine worked as a set-decorator on the set of Russian Doll – and I loved watching that show.
I love the Alps in the Summer
The Lost Words Blessing (spell songs)
anything bitter
make too much food
Polarn O. Pyret waders for walking in the rain with the kids
I like supergoop every single day hydrating cream
I don’t wear any makeup. I’d love to learn though.
