We are jewelry designers-my friend Jeannette O'Brien, my cousin Sue Collier and myself. Catherine Vrchota Najmajstr, the great-grandmother of Sue and I, was born in Bohemia and came to the US as a young girl. She was a very talented lady who is loved and talked about to this day in South Dakota, where she homesteaded with her husband. We like to think she dreamed of this day where we can share the bit of talent we inherited from her with a large audience.

We also have an actual website for our store. That way those of you who are not members of etsy can buy our jewelry.

Wild and Crazy Girls
We find ourselves being more fearless and stretching our horizons way further now than we did when we were younger. Both Jeannette and I are over 50 and having lots of fun and doing things we never imagined doing. Starting our own business, designing our own jewelry--no way would I have believed I would be in this place even ten years ago. We have an awesome time in other ways too. We had a sleepover tonight at my house. We went for a midnight (yes the actual midnight with head and handlebar lights) mountain bike ride with my dog Jasmine, then came back here and ate frozen yogurt/fruit parfaits in our pj's while watching a recording of William and Catherine's recent wedding and looking at jewelry design magazines and chatting about new bold ideas for our jewelry and our shop. Oh, and I was polishing a Petoskey Stone I picked up on a beach a few weeks ago when we were out biking with Jasmine. (Someday soon you will see it as a pendant on one of our necklaces). Pushing the limits we thought we had way beyond the dreams of our past.
