Whose Junque is this?

It's ours!!!

Thanks to Michelle Ramirez, the delightful talent from Coronado California! As pretty as this junque is, if you can imagine, Michelle is 100 x prettier. Her amazing sweet heart shines through in all her pieces, allowing us all to share in her spirit.

Michelle is a girl who grew up watching her Dad make jewelry and has followed in his footsteps....
She gets giddy when playing with rhinestones and glitter....
She loves beach living with her family during the day and crafting at night....
She can be found at her local flea markets treasure hunting quite often; and
She enjoys life's little joys...

Lovely Junque is where you'll find her handcrafted charmed jewelry and home decor pieces. She finds such happiness in creating personalized pieces for gift giving or that special occasion, so feel free to ask about that one of a kind trinket.

You can order your custom pieces from Michelle & have shipped right to your very own jam for pick up.

This junque will be JAMMIN around Arizona as it's found a new home with us.

Fabulous!!

la Ricki ROCKS!

Oh la la!!!!

Everyone needs a la Ricki in their toolbox!

I have these AMAZING ideas! I really do. They are fearless & fun & I usually have no idea where to start! haha

I turn to Ricki and say, "Ricki, I want blah blah blah blah blah and blah blah blah" and she responds with, "so how about this and that and this and that?!"

Shauna: OMG yes, you speak my language! Thank you! You are a creative genius with all the right utensils and you've read all the right blogs and you know all the best places! And, you are a visionary and so very talented! Thank you x 100 Ricki. When people ask me what is in my toolbox right now, I say YOU!

Look at the brilliant Joy at jam tag invitations that feel from her fingers! This is them in the making . . . before the glitter even hit em! Ah, sigh, I love her.

You can find la Ricki paper crafts at jam & Ricki herself. Her custom party planning is off it's head and she is a consultant goddess. You will be able to see her talents floating the shop around-the-clock and you will also be able to put her in your toolbox because she is for hire!

Finally a real-live fairy tale come true . . . . . my very own alchemist.

Good Bye Poker - Hello jam!!!

For the last two years I have had the honor of working with one of the smartest people I know and now one of my closest friends!

Thank you Michael. Thank you for everything . . . for your kindness, for your support & for the shout-out you gave jam in The Full Tilt Poker Blog by Michael Craig!
