who's in the mood for a little pressie for themselves? 

we've been chatting the last month or so about making ourselves and our health & creativity priorities in our busy lives so why not treat ourselves to a new pretty for our wrists? i was lucky enough to get my hands on some of the awesome handmade jewelry from the shop c johannesen studio! they make gorgeous, custom leather & metal jewelry. you can request everything from custom text, and color on any leather item they sell in their shop as well. their leather items include wrap bracelets, cuffs, secret message bracelets, and more - all distressed and made to order with their hand carved designs.


i got to make a custom bracelet for myself and boy was it hard to choose that special quote to put on my new bracelet. in the end after weeks of indecisiveness i went a russet color for my leather and for quotes i went with one of my all time favorites...


i love wearing it and have been non stop. the quote i chose means so much to me and always rings so true to my heart. i love that i can look down at my wrist and see that lovely quote and smile. a gentle reminder to find those precious minutes in the day to create and be creative whether alone or with my kids.
