I returned home from time away with a deep urge to de-clutter, simplify and Zen-ify my home. Typically projects like this overwhelm me but I am choosing to clear out one room at a time, one section at a time, one breath at a time. I promised myself not to rush through it and be very mindful of what I truly need and what I don't. I have come to realize that I thrive more in an environment that feels open and free...with a lot of space to twirl around at will. Lately, as stuff has piled up high around my desk and shelves, it has caused a clutter-ish feeling inside of my head. I suppose this is all part of me paying attention to what feels nourishing in my life and I am learning that simplicity is where my heart feels most calm.

Soon after my leap from the corporate world to owning my own creative business, I sold handmade boho style jewelry. Then photography as a profession stole my heart. My intention with clearing out my studio is for it to be photography focused. Hence, I would like to let go of all of my gems, sterling silver and pendants so that they can be brought out into the world by another creative soul.

I spent the evening organizing, laying them out in front of me, whispering words of gratitude for the path these dear gems directed me to on my journey.

I have quite a lot of stock, as well as an organized shelf cubby to go with. If you are at all interested in purchasing my stock as a whole, please email me at denise (at) bohophoto (dot) com. Every single piece is new and has never been worn. I hope to find them a home soon.

My stock consists of:

• Pendants of all types (Serpentine, Jade, Bone, Carnelian, Porcelain, Wood)
  
• Sterling silver charms, lobster claws, toggle clasps, wire, spacers, etc.
• Beads: Carnelian, Chrysophase, Agate, Serpentine, Rhyolite, Jade, Glass, Coral, Wood, Vintage, etc.
• Storage cubby
• Jewelry design book
