whether it's a simple hello or a juicy tip sent my way, it is always nice to find a friendly note from a reader in my email box. and so it was in this roundabout way that i discovered cherry creek designs which happens to be the etsy shop of jewelry designer heather gill.

now based in arizona, heather spent a chunk of her childhood in hawaii and it's easy to spot the influence her time in the islands have had on her designs. primarily self-taught, she decided to put her culinary career on hold to be a sahm, and it is inspiring to see the progression of heather's work from
simple beading to her current fascination with metalsmithing.

simply red + she sells seashells

there is a modern simplicity in her pieces with a focus on shapes and colors which add an understated, yet still eye catching, finishing touch to an outfit. and if you are in the midst of wedding planning, do take a peek at the bridal section to accessorize your party in style (without blowing your budget).
