🌱 Exciting News! I’m stepping into the world of Substack with my very first post! 🎉
“Maria Montessori’s Advice for 2025: Educating for Peace, Understanding, and Resilience” explores what Montessori’s wisdom can teach us about navigating today’s challenges in education and beyond.
If you see the world through a Montessori lens, I’d love for you to read, reflect, and join the conversation. Let’s grow this community together!

Educating for Peace, Understanding, and Resilience

**11.3.24 THANK YOU ALL for your kind words and support during my shop closing. I was not able to be in my home studio due to hurricane Helene and had to close the shop for the last 5 weeks. But I’m so happy to say that I’m back home and open for business!!
There is still plenty of the new jewelry available. And I’m in the process of making some more right now also. Scroll all the way back to the last few pictures and you’ll see a sneak peek at something I might make available in the shop. What do you think? Let me know if you’d like to see something like this available in the shop!

Hey friends! If you have something in your cart or were needing a gift, NOW is the time to act! 🎁 I’m going to need to close up my shop Friday afternoon for a few weeks because I’ll be on the road and away from my home studio. Wanted to give you all a heads up first though! Any orders that come in before tomorrow afternoon will be sent out right away. So don’t delay, or you’ll need to wait a few weeks. Thanks all and happy early V Day to you!! 💕

Dropping some adorable new offerings in the shop today! These 100% cotton “Dabber” bundles and a simple and lovely replacement for sponges (which can get gross pretty quickly). You put SO much work into creating beautiful and perfect PL works. An adorable cotton dabber is the perfect "cherry on top"!

These cotton dabbers are perfect for small cleaning of drips on Practical Life works such as Pouring, Leaf Cleaning, etc. These dabbers are not meant for soaking up large amounts of water, but are perfect for cleaning up the majority of the tiny drops and spills that happen.

Each adorable bundle has SIX items: 3 rectangular dabbers and 3 heart-shaped dabbers.

That feeling when I sit down in a conference session next to someone I don’t know yet, and they pull out one of my observation journals to take notes in!!! And she received it as a gift from a school she visited. I love how interconnected our lovely Montessori world truly is!! 🥰🥰🥰
