My mother had a sparkle that could never be dimmed.
Funny, loving, beautiful, full of life.
Her infectious laugh was her signature . Once you heard it, you never forgot it.
Now the silence feels impossibly heavy.

Thank you for every hug, every lesson and every memory.
A piece of my heart went with you.

Miss you beyond words, mom .

Last hat of the day.

Luxe velour furfelt in a jewel tone spruce green. A subtle edge with an undeniable presence.
Finished with sterling silver accents, including a striking carved birdskull and a vintage timepiece that gives this special piece its story and soul.

Shaped and embellished with intention and these creepy little hands…
This goes out to its new owner, G, a fella who wears character, not trends.

Somewhere in a photo box there’s evidence that a 19 year old me had absolutely no fear, no supervision and definitely no mirror …

Picture it, underage in Detroit, somehow sitting on the lap of from with .

The outfit? Corduroy overalls, a tragic perm , and a homemade hat that looked like i lost a fight with a craft store.
I truly believed I looked edgy and rock n roll , the confidence of a rock star and the styling instincts of a confused scarecrow. I remember thinking this outfit is iconic, , it was, in the sense that disasters are memorable.
Some people had a rebellious phase.
I had whatever this was . Craft project with an identity crisis…
