The Magic of Rocks: A Lifelong Love Affair

The Magic of Rocks: A Lifelong Love Affair

February 27, 2025

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had pockets full of rocks. Smooth river stones, glittering quartz, mysterious black pebbles—if a rock caught my eye, I had to pick it up. I didn’t question why. I knew some rocks seemed to find me, and I couldn’t leave them behind.

I know I’m not alone. Some people walk through life without ever noticing the ground beneath their feet, while others—like me—are natural rock collectors. We see a flash of color, an unusual shape, or a texture that begs to be touched, and suddenly, we’re bending down, reaching out, cradling a tiny piece of the earth’s magic in our hands.

But why do certain rocks call to us? Maybe it’s their energy, their ancient wisdom, or just the sheer beauty of nature’s artwork. Maybe it’s a deep, instinctual connection—something in our bones telling us that these little treasures matter.

That love of rocks has stayed with me, shaping my journey and inspiring the jewelry I create. It’s why I opened my shop—a place filled with beautiful stones, handcrafted jewelry, and unique treasures waiting for the right person to find them. If you’re a rock lover like me, I invite you to come visit. Hold the stones, admire the colors, and see what speaks to you. Maybe the perfect rock (or piece of jewelry!) is waiting to find you.

Come see me at my rock shop—let’s talk about our favorite finds!
