A Worthy Cause

In case you were wondering what to do with that extra material, there's a young lady from Kentucky, Michala Riggle, who makes bracelets, donating the proceeds to a charity which conducts research on autism. String some basic bracelets and/or donate the supplies !

Here's an exerpt from her website:

With just $7.35 cents and a passion to help kids like her brother, Evan, Michala Riggle, age 12, started doing the only thing she knew how to do...make bracelets. See what happened!

A Blurb About Me

Life is hectic. As you can read, in addition to designing jewelry, I'm a mom, a (Navy) wife, Naval Reservist, businesswoman, amateur shutterbug, and I like to bake. :)

I also like to write, hence the blog (and it's lack of focus on jewelry.) Here, you'll find bits and pieces of what it's like to be a mom, a (Navy) wife, Naval Reservist, businesswoman, amateur shutterbug, and maybe some of the yummy things I make around here.

As for the jewelry, my creations rely on a variety of mixed media and techniques ranging from traditional Japanese arts, silversmithing, and plain old trial and error to produce beach inspired artisan jewelry. All designs are original and produced as one of a kind or as part of very limited edition runs. You can see them below or visit my Etsy store.

Of course, you can always leave a comment, like Simply Leilani on facebook, or subscribe to the blog for free! (You don't have to buy anything from me to be my friend, I promise!)
