For as far back as I can remember I have loved little treasures, such as beads or anything that will fit into the palm of my hand!

   My Great Aunt was a teacher in a high school in the 40's and 50's and back then every one gave the teacher a gift at Christmas and at the end of the year. Now my aunt loved jewelry so she got tons of it for over a 30 year career and she saved every piece!
Every Christmas from about the time I was 6 she would give me a box of jewelry to do with what ever I wanted, and I could hardly wait to open it.
Needless to say I was the envy of the little girl dress-up set! How I loved to play with it and as I got older I started taking things apart and making creations and Oh Boy was I hooked!

   I've dabbled in many mediums over the years but I have never been able to nor have I wanted to stop making jewelry.
For over 25 years I have been making jewelry under  Jewel Fire Designs and have loved every minute of it---well, there have been a few days hear and there that I have wanted to throw things but overall its been very satisfying career.

I also love anything vintage so take a look at my vintage shop on Etsy! Lagrandmere
