Owner of The Vintage Knot

The Vintage Knot reflects my love for creating things by hand. I care about making pieces that people can keep for years instead of something that’s thrown away after a short time. Every item is crocheted by me, and I try to make each one feel thoughtful, whether it’s a gift, a decoration, or something someone simply wanted for themselves.

Owner of Savannah’s Jewels

My bedazzling journey started out as just a hobby, with me bedazzling my own things. I saw a video of a girl bedazzling her climbing shoes and thought that was so cool, so the next day I ordered a kit to do it myself. I experimented on my friend’s shoes, as well as some other items. It sparked an idea to actually turn this into something tangible. With that, Savannah’s Jewels was born!
