Kate in LA. An homage to Los Angeles.

This journey has been long in the making. Having lived in Los Angeles for twelve years, I came to fall in love with so many aspects of life there, as have countless others. My three children were born in LA, and throughout the years we each made deep connections that we will forever cherish. I truly hope to move back some day. 

I have been beading since I was twelve years old or so. It happened by chance one afternoon when I accompanied my mom to the garment district in New York City and came home with a small bag of iridescent purple seed beads. They were like jewels to me. Not sure how to begin, I found a needle, some thread, and a small closure in my mother's sewing box. I made my first necklace. I was hooked.

My love of beads and gems has evolved over the years. Yet no matter where I've lived...New Jersey, Connecticut, Philadelphia, Yellowknife, New York City, Los Angeles...and now Texas...I always bring my collection of beads with me. Beading is my happy place. 

In addition to my life's experiences, my aesthetic has also been deeply influenced and refined by the boundless creativity, natural beauty and effortless style that characterizes Los Angeles. And so I'm bringing a bit of LA to you. A pop of color to brighten your day. Like sunshine in a bottle.
